Entrepreneur Peter Thiel <\/strong>is co-founder of PayPal <\/em><\/strong>and a gay conservative.  He\u2019s also entangled in the death of a male model.  A blind item recently made the rounds about a model who committed suicide after his billionaire beau married another.  People identified the model as Jeff Thomas <\/strong>and the mogul as David Geffen<\/strong>.  They got it half right.  In an unreleased interview from last November, Thomas identifies himself as being \u201ckept\u201d by the married Thiel, and he clearly knew his worth.  \u201cIf I\u2019m gonna give up relationships I have and give up my dreams right now, during Covid, or dating other guys or pursuing people, then I\u2019m going to get a $300,000 car and I\u2019m going to get a $13 million home.\u201d  This probably sounds like a great deal, but it comes at a price.  \u201cIt was stressful, [Thiel] wanted me to get the nicest car, the nicest house.  He wanted to kind of show his power, to kind of show that he had me in his dollhouse.\u201d  Thomas adds, \u201cIt\u2019s not like I was his boyfriend really, I was just kind of his friend that was there for him when he needed, you know, whatever he needed.\u201d   Whatever!<\/p>\n

And yet, Jeff reportedly got tired of being \u201ckept\u201d and moved from Hollywood to Miami.  But not into some little apartment.  He moved into a high-priced high-rise and continued to have all of the trappings of his previous life.  How far he got from Thiel is questionable since he attended the billionaire\u2019s New Year\u2019s Eve party.  Friends say he was thinking about becoming a firefighter or EMT.  On March 8th<\/sup>, he posted a video from an icy plunge pool looking as hot as ever.  Hours later, he was dead on the pavement far below his deluxe apartment in the sky.  One agent tried to spin Jeff\u2019s fall as an accident while trying to take a selfie from his balcony.  From everything I\u2019ve read, Thomas was a lot of things, but he wasn\u2019t stupid.  His brother quickly went public, saying Jeff \u201cstruggled with addiction and mental health challenges, which ultimately led to his tragic passing.\u201d  Thiel has not issued a comment.<\/p>\n
