Mikey V, Beyond the Headlines…
Detective Verdugo, better known as Mikey V, the fourth place contestant on HGTVs Design Star Season 3, has had a lot of headlines written about him recently. He’s already famous from his reality TV experience, he’s a gay cop, and he was fired from his job as a Hollywood, FL (not to be confused with Hollywood, CA), police officer after they found out he had been in a gay porn video. While the media likes to place labels on people and declare in big bold print what and who a person is, none of them truly depict the struggles of a man who regardless of how well he performed at his job, was treated with anti-gay harassment and discrimination. So why does he want to go back? If he’s already a famous designer, why doesn’t he just do that? We spoke with Mikey V, about these very questions, and got the full story directly from the person at the center of all this media attention.
