Sawyer Hemsley, the co-founder of Crumbl, is addressing the speculation surrounding his sexuality.
The 33-year-old businessman released a statement on Instagram on Monday (August 25) to confirm that he is gay.
While some have labeled Sawyer as the CEO of the company, he actually is the Chief Brand Officer.
Sawyer, who grew up as a Mormon in Utah, has been the subject of backlash from the LGBT community over the past week due to lots of speculation surrounding his sexuality and beliefs. He has been accused of hiding his sexuality and allegedly supporting politicians who don’t support the community, but there’s no clear evidence of that.
In his statement, Sawyer addressed the “values and beliefs” that he grew up with and “still deeply love and respect.”

Over the past little while, there have been people online trying to define me, twist things, and share conversations in ways that feel harmful. Instead of letting others write my story, I want to share it in my own words.
The truth is, over the past few years I’ve come to understand and accept that I’m gay. It’s taken me a long time to really process this part of myself and even longer to feel comfortable enough to say it out loud. For most of my life, I didn’t have the clarity to answer the questions or respond to the rumors. Coming to terms with it has been overwhelming and, at times, scary — but it has also brought me peace, joy, and authenticity that I wouldn’t trade for anything.
I grew up with values and beliefs that I still deeply love and respect, which made this journey more complicated. But I remain grateful for my foundation, even as I’ve worked to embrace this truth about myself.
I know some people may have questions or even judgments, but my hope is that kindness, empathy, and love will lead the way. I’ve learned so much through this process — about strength, compassion, and the importance of living authentically.
At the end of the day, I’m deeply thankful: for the opportunities I’ve had, for the people who support me, and for the chance to live and share my story. It’s a journey of growth and honesty, and one I’ll never stop being grateful for.
Sawyer‘s net worth is rumored to be as much as $70 million and he recently just bought a lavish new home in Los Angeles, in addition to other properties he already owns.
It was just reported that Sawyer paid $12 million for a mansion in the Hollywood Hills.
Sawyer often shares shirtless photos on his Instagram page and has claimed that he still eats Crumbl cookies almost every day.
