Shock Geordie Shore feud ERUPTS as Nathan Henry’s pals are ‘sickened’ by Scotty T’s rant after using co-star for ‘cash’
THEY survived Geordie Shore together for more than a decade, weathering explosive rows, chaotic nights out and everything that came with reality TV fame. When Nathan Henry first walked into the house in 2015 and bravely opened up about his sexuality, Scotty T was one of the first castmates to embrace him into the group.
Which is why friends tell The Sun they are “absolutely sickened” to see Scotty accused of turning on the very community he once publicly stood beside, leaving Nathan feeling “blindsided”.
Their friendship became one of the constants of the MTV series, surviving cast shake-ups, years away from the cameras and countless personal milestones.
But after more than a decade of standing side by side, those closest to Nathan say the pair’s bitter public clash is about far more than a handful of tweets – it’s watching someone he trusted seem to turn his back on the community Nathan has spent years proudly representing.
The fallout unravelled after Scotty, 37, posted a string of controversial messages about Pride celebrations in London that many accused of being openly homophobic, causing backlash online.
He wrote: “If you’re ever a parent – and you took your child to the Pride event in London… You should have your kids taken off you. Simple.”
He continued: “Forcing them to see some of the state I’ve seen, and the stands with merch about being horny and ‘f*** me’. What sort of disgusting animal even does that to their child.”
One source close to Nathan told The Sun: “We’re absolutely sickened that Scotty has lashed out at the gay community. They’ve been friends for so many years and gone through so much together. Referring to parents who bring their children to Pride events as ‘animals’ is heartbreaking.
“Nathan was blindsided given how supportive Scotty was to him in the past and it has really struck him.”
For Nathan the comments were deeply personal.
After all, this was the same Scotty who had stood beside him when he came out on Geordie Shore and built one of the show’s most genuine friendships.
Which is exactly why, pals say, Nathan decided he couldn’t let the comments pass without saying something publicly.
He wrote: “I think you should delete this… I don’t know if this is you or management but it stinks of hypocrisy just saying.”
Scotty replied that he loved Nathan “to bits” but doubled down on his position, insisting children should not be exposed to explicit displays at Pride events.
He later added: “Can us straight people have a month where we walk about with our cock and balls out?”
And in another post wrote: “Be gay, bi, gender fluid, camp, manly, whatever the f*** you want – just don’t force it into everyone else’s faces. Especially children.”
But those close to Nathan say the comments left him stunned because Scotty had relied on him to help promote his own OnlyFans account.
Our insider told us: “Scotty was desperately begging Nathan to take those pictures to promote his OnlyFans. He used him to make cash.”
The source said that only made Scotty’s public comments feel even more hypocritical to Nathan, prompting him to hit back publicly.
Nathan, not letting his behaviour slide, responded again but this time on his Instagram.
He shared an old photograph which Scotty himself had asked him to take in order to help promote his OnlyFans account – pointing to what he believed was a glaring contradiction between Scotty’s past behaviour and his current narrative.
Alongside it he wrote: “B***h I know you lying when you asked me to take this and used it to promote your OF implying gay s**t. The math ain’t mathing.”
Those close to Nathan said he couldn’t sit back without saying anything.
One pal said: “He couldn’t understand the contradiction between what Scotty had asked of him in the past and what he was now saying publicly.”
For fans who have followed Geordie Shore over the past decade, the public fallout marks a remarkable turn for two castmates whose friendship appeared to survive almost everything the show threw at them.
When Nathan first joined the series, he initially came out as bisexual before later identifying as gay. Scotty was among those who publicly accepted him, and the pair went on to film multiple series together, including the recent reunion seasons and the milestone Thailand trip that marked Scotty’s return to the franchise.
Away from the cameras, however, life has taken both men in very different directions.
Nathan, now 35, has largely stepped away from the party-boy image that first made him famous. He recently revealed he has been in a private relationship for three years and has deliberately kept it away from the spotlight.
He also opened his life to viewers in an emotional four-part MTV documentary alongside his father Glen, who is living with terminal cancer. The series explored family, illness and LGBTQ+ acceptance within Caribbean culture, earning widespread praise for its honesty.
Scotty’s recent years, meanwhile, have been considerably more turbulent.
Best known for starring on Geordie Shore between 2012 and 2019 before winning Celebrity Big Brother, he has faced a series of financial and legal difficulties since leaving the show.
Earlier this year, court proceedings heard that he now earns money through club appearances and OnlyFans after admitting an offence relating to unlawful financial promotions on Instagram. During the hearing, it was also stated that he received financial support from his mother, while he had previously been declared bankrupt after his company went into liquidation.
Last October, Scotty announced he had become a father, describing his baby son as “the most important thing” in his life.
Whether the pair can repair more than ten years of friendship now remains to be seen.
But friends fear this will cause a big obstacle in their future.
One pal said: “Nathan feels like someone who supported him and his life for so many years has changed his views so much.
“It feels like an attack on the community he’s proud to be part of. That’s why this has hurt so much.”
The Sun has contacted reps for Nathan and Scotty T for comment.
