MKR's star Romel Kouyan's sex app outrage

It comes after he was spotted on gay hook-up app Grindr.
  • 01 Oct 2019

Romel Kouyan, of my My Kitchen Rules fame, has denied a rumour by a local publication that claimed he was using gay hook-up app Grindr to meet men.

The publication posted what they alleged was screen shots of Ronel's profile, but he claimed they were fake.

“It's so silly - the profile on Grindr isn't mine,” he said in a statement to Daily Mail Australia.

"Ive known about the profile for a couple of weeks.

"A mate had seen it and taken a screenshot and sent it to me - he reported the profile and they've removed [my] picture."

The MKR star went on to explain that if he was to genuinely use the app, he would be sure not to use a real photo of himself.

He added that he'd “have a blank profile to remain anonymous and pick who he chooses to chat with.”

However, the reality star was keen to stress that there is no shame in using Grindr.

"I know professionals who are time poor that finding dating apps the easier option,” he said.

Earlier this year, Romel and his MKR teammate, Ibby Moubadder revealed they were left in debt by thousands of dollars after failing to win the culinary reality show, with the socialites revealing that they had injected $30,000 of their own cash in a desperate bid to win the $250,000 MKR prize money.
