Who Was Alexander McQueen’s Porn Star Lover?

In September of last year, the ‘Times’ reported:

Recently McQueen began seeing a porn star, whom he met online. ‘It’s great!’ he cackles. He told me the man’s name but asked that I identify him only by his porn nom de famille, Mr. Stag.

Never mind that this fake name evokes one of porndom’s top web studios. Searching for reasons that would explain why such a successful talent would end his life, The Daily Beast today claims to reveal the mystery fuck stud, pointing a finger at the porn star hooker, writer and former tranny punk Aiden Shaw:

Two sources believe that ‘Mr. Stag’ was in fact Aiden Shaw, a 43-year-old escort who at one point was the gay-porn equivalent of Tom Cruise…

Compelling stuff, and Aiden Shaw weighed in himself with a couple characteristically murky twitterations (“Lee” is McQueen’s real first name):

But here’s the thing. Aiden Shaw mentions McQueen in his memoir, My Undoing (2006). The designer sent him flowers in the hospital. They’ve known each other for years. This contradicts the assertion in the ‘Times’ article that McQueen met the mystery porn star recently, online. So either McQueen was concealing the truth or the mystery porn star in question is someone other than Aiden Shaw.

When I reached Aiden for comment, he only had this to say:

any reports about lee and i are inappropriate
as far as i’m concerned
a man is dead
this is a time for reflexion and mourning
not gossip
