According to Adin, the entire situation began when he was trying to spend the night at a girl’s house. Her parents, protective and skeptical, weren’t comfortable with the idea, unless they believed he posed no romantic threat. That’s when Adin said he came up with a plan.“I had to fake be gay,” he explained to viewers. “I had to sleep with my gay friend back then. I had to sleep with him because I had to convince the girl I liked's parents that I was gay, so I could sleep over.”

Adin then went on to clarify that he did not do anything gay with his friend and that it was all staged to make it look as real as possible to fool the parents of the girl that he liked. Once the house had settled for the night, Adin said he would sneak into the girl’s room.
