“I think he actually really wanted to come and genuinely apologize for a lot of what had played out [in our relationship],” Roberts exclusively tells Page Six.
“To be honest, I actually pushed back against it. I didn’t want to see Paul, I didn’t want to revisit this,” Roberts, 44, tells Page Six in an exclusive interview. “Production pushed for it, but I’m actually thankful they did.”
“The Real World: New Orleans” star Danny Roberts reflects on his relationship with Paul Dill in an exclusive interview with Page Six.By spotlighting his relationship with Dill — a U.S. Army captain who agreed to film so long as his face was obscured — Roberts inadvertently became a poster child for the movement against the Clinton administration’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy that banned gay people from openly serving in the military.
Despite the positive impact his groundbreaking “Real World” stint had on young gay viewers, Roberts says that the aftermath of his reality TV experience only made dating Dill more difficult. Roberts also had no idea what he was getting himself into when he eventually agreed to reconnect with Dill on camera 15 years later.
Roberts appears on “Homecoming” with castmates Matt Smith, David “Tokyo” Broom, Kelley Limp, Julie Stoffer, Jamie Murray and Melissa Beck.Roberts says Dill — who revealed his face for the first time on a 2004 MTV News special about the dangers of “DADT” — deserves “a lot of credit” for sharing his story in the early aughts and today.
“I think a lot of time has passed in life and I think we’re in very different places,” he says. “I don’t know what we are. I don’t know if I necessarily want him in my life anymore, to be completely honest.”
