Stewart denied it and can even point to the source: a scorned publicist named Tony Toon.

What a lightweight.ĭespite what he claims, it's become such an accepted part of his bio that the seemingly straight-laced, Talbots-wearing ladies who filled the chairs of Katie Couric's talk show stage giddily screamed, 'FACT!!!' when Couric asked him about it during a recent game of Fact of Fiction. The rumor goes that he sucked off (and swallowed) so many sailors in a gay bar in San Diego that he landed in the hospital and needed to have his stomach pumped. For decades, Rod Stewart's name has been synonymous with ingesting quarts of cum.
