Apparently Lance Bass came out of the closet to none other than Britney Spears first. You would think that Britney wouldn’t be able to keep her mouth shut, but I guess she did.

Here is Lance’s reaccount of the event

Her manager had already gotten rid of [her first husband] Jason [Alexander] - they’d flown him home. Britney was upset about what she had done. I felt bad for her. I knew she was about to go through a lot of crap. I felt the need to share something. So I sat her on my bed, and I’m like, Well, I’m gay!” Spears was “surprised. I was always the Southern gentleman.”
