“Eddie Winslow” became a trending topic due to “Family Matters” actor Darius McCrary’s appearance in an OnlyFans video with transgender model Sidney Starr. Starr promoted the video, sparking social media buzz and causing “Eddie Winslow” to trend on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Wednesday.
McCrary had previously denied rumors of a romantic relationship with Starr, stating, “I don’t normally pay attention to the rumors…But the small minds discuss other people… While y’all are discussing rumors that aren’t true, we eating.” His representative reiterated that their relationship was strictly platonic.
Darius McCrary and Sidney Starr History
Starr, known for her reality TV appearances on shows like “Love & Hip Hop: New York” and “Baddies ATL,” has been open about her friendship with McCrary, even sharing behind-the-scenes moments from their photoshoots on social media. Despite their public interactions, McCrary insisted that the rumors were unfounded, addressing them during an Instagram live session, saying, “What are we in high school? You gonna tell me who I can be friends with, who I can’t hangout with? I am a grown man.”
This recent controversy echoes Starr’s past entanglements with celebrities, including rapper Chingy, with whom she was previously rumored to be involved romantically. Chingy, in response to the false rumors, lamented the detrimental impact on his career, acknowledging the power of social media to spread misinformation.
McCrary’s situation is reminiscent of his “Family Matters” co-star Reginald VelJohnson, who portrays Carl Winslow. VelJohnson found himself in the midst of a social media storm after being implicated in a rumor involving Diddy, as claimed by Luce Cannon, drawing attention from 50 Cent and amplifying speculation.
The recent resurgence of interest in “Eddie Winslow” and McCrary’s collaboration with Starr on OnlyFans highlights the unpredictable nature of celebrity culture and the role of social media in shaping and perpetuating rumors. In an age where information spreads rapidly and often uncontrollably online, navigating public perception can be a challenge for even the most seasoned of entertainers.
