Anyone who is familiar with Lee Priest’s blunt honesty and often considered controversial comments – might not be too surprised to discover he was bullied a lot in his childhood school days. Lee claims that it didn’t bother him much but his family and specifically his mother paint a different picture.
The main reason for Lee being bullied was when it came out in his community and school that his father was gay. While Lee’s mother knew for some time before Lee, when he finally discovered the truth it was a major blow. Not because he had a problem with his father being gay, but because of the kind of terrible ridicule he received from other kids.

Could this be a key piece of what made Lee the man he is today? The man who spoke his truth regardless of the repercussions from the IFBB pro league? Watch the clip above and decide for yourself.
