Simpson spoke with Baller Alert and revealed detailed information about his intimate relationship with Rhodes.
"I got to know Kerry and we became very close. I moved in with Kerry at his home in Arizona. At first we were just friends and we were getting to know each other. Then we got into a relationship. We were in a relationship for a whole year. I was there, people knew who I was, they saw me as his top assistant. I handled everything for him. No one went to Kerry for anything," he said.
Simpson said the reason why he got so angry was because him and Rhodes shared a past together.
"If you're not going to tell the truth, don't try to make me look stupid. This is what I say: You can play Nintendo, You play XBox, You play lottery, You Don't Play Hollywood! I think he made a comment that he's as straight as an arm."
