he would come home to a hot meal every single day. dishes washed, clean clothes, fresh linen, not a speck of dirt in the entire house EVER. he owns me and i do what he says because i am his property. if he cheats it’s my fault and i’m doing something wrong.

“Hell Together”

Archuleta shot to fame on American Idol in 2008. Raised a devout Mormon, we now know that he struggled for years to embrace his sexuality. He came out in the summer of 2021 and now says he’s most comfortable using the label “queer.” 

Since coming out, he’s continued to receive negative messages from fellow Christians who have told him to repent. He said last year that he had decided to step away from the Mormon church for a while. 

Archuleta participated on The Masked Singer last year and was a guest on the latest season of American Idol last Monday. He returned to perform his new song, “Hell Together”. 

He explained to host Ryan Seacrest the story behind the song, saying, “I grew up very much in my faith and religion, very devout, but I came out of the closet a couple years ago,” he said. “It was very hard to balance faith and coming out. It was too much. So I stepped away.”

He continued, with a smile, saying, “I didn’t hear from my mom for a few days. So I was like, ‘Oh no. I pissed my mom off. Oh no.’ Because she was very devout, too. Then she texted me a few days later and she said, ‘I stepped away from the church as well.’ I was like, ‘What? Oh my gosh.’ She said, ‘I don’t want to be somewhere where my children don’t feel loved and accepted and if you’re going to hell, then we’re all going to hell with you.'”
