The report added that a week ago, Matthew Wilkas posted a video on Instagram that showed Gus Kenworthy's tattooed arm.

In the November issue of ESPN Magazine, Kenworthy revealed that he is gay. In the interview with People, he said that the reason why he decided to come out publicly is that being in the closet was "really painful" and was taking a lot out of him. He added that it came to a point when he was already tired of dodging questions, keeping the façade and constantly lying.
"I just wanted to get to a point where I was free-I don't want to be ashamed of part of me, I just want to be proud of it. And I encourage that of other people," he said.
After coming out, however, Kenworthy shared that he had received amazing support and reception, especially from the skiing community. "I was overwhelmed by how positive the response has been," he said.
