Patti LaBelle is linked to some very strange political Twitter drama.
Former Republican candidate to represent Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District Dean Browning, who lost in the Republican primary in 2020, came under much mockery after tweeting and deleting a confusing message on Tuesday (November 10).
“I’m a Black gay guy," the tweet praising Trump began. He immediately took down the tweet once people noticed, claiming it was actually a message from one of his followers, user @DanPurdy322.
After users speculated that the "Dan Purdy" account was actually Dean Browning's alternative account made to pose as a Black gay man and support Trump (while also making many very racist statements previously on the platform), a video was uploaded on that account, which has since been suspended.
“Hey guys, my name is Dan Purdy, and I am indeed a gay Black man," the man said in the video, explaining he wanted to clear the air “because I had a problem with how people of my race and sexual persuasion are treating Donald Trump."
After much Internet sleuthing, users found that the person that appeared in the video resembles someone on Facebook named Byl Holte, which also shares the same avatar as @DanPurdy322. The framed art featured in the video is also featured in a photograph on Byl's Facebook page.
William “Byl” Holte’s Facebook page contains some photos and videos of a woman who appears to be Patti LaBelle. The singer adopted the two children of her sister, Jackie Holte, following her death, named Stayce and William.
An Instagram account @byl322 recently posted a picture captioned “Me and Aunt Patti.”
A separate Twitter account claiming to be Byl Holte, @IncrediByl, was also suspended by Twitter.
The social media company did not respond to the NYT's request for comment on the suspensions.
Aubrey O'Day is also getting attention for her political tweets.
Here is a message from Dan Purdy, who has decided to responded to the controversy.
I wish the media would pay attention to the voter irregularities in the state of Pennsylvania as much as they have this Twitter story. https://t.co/8UUpC0Y8UH— Dean Browning (@DeanBrowningPA) November 10, 2020
And here's a selection of times @DanPurdy322, whose account is brand new and who replies to @DeanBrowningPA A LOT, has described himself as a black gay guy. pic.twitter.com/z5xabE2Fgn

A star-studded cast recreated an episode of the classic sitcom from the 1970s. You can see photos of Viola Davis, Andre Braugher, Tiffany Haddish, and more in the gallery.
Patti was one of the contestants on The Masked Singer this season and somehow didn't make it to the finals!
ABC has announced the star-studded cast who will recreate an episode of Good Times for the upcoming Live in Front of a Studio Audience special next week!
The one-night-only event will feature Viola Davis and Andre Braugher as Florida Evans and James Evans, Jay Pharoah as J.J Evans, Asante Blackk as Michael Evans, Corinne Foxx as Thelma Evans, and Tiffany Haddish recreating the role of Willona Woods.
When They See Us actor Jharrel Jerome is also joining the cast while Anthony Anderson and Patti LaBelle will perform the theme song live.
An episode of All in the Family will also be part of the special and the cast of that episode has been announced.
"I Will Always Love You" was almost sung by Patti LaBelle!

During her appearance, Patti revealed that Dolly Parton, the song's writer, originally offered it to her before Whitney Houston made it popular with 1992's The Bodyguard.
“I said to Dolly, ‘Oh yes, I want to do that song, honey!' But before I could say real yes, it was in the movie and Whitney killed it," she said.
“I was so happy Whitney got that song and it just went like it did. But Dolly Parton and I had planned. ‘Patti, you’re going to sing that song.' Next! That’s how show-business is!”
