Rudolph Valentino & The André Daven Hoax
In the interest of providing documentation and truth about André L. Daven and his affiliation with Rudolph Valentino, I recorded a podcast episode which I titled, "Rudolph Valentino & The André Daven Hoax". In this blog, I share further documentation, images and research material along with excerpts from the podcast script. Please view the podcast's accompanying video through this link: https://youtu.be/B-oaxXfm2sQ
One of many immigration documents on André Daven verifying his travels and application for U.S. naturalization.
We are now able to refute the André Daven hoax. This outrageous claim plagues Valentino's legacy today and represents a line drawn in the sand; a line drawn by liars and thieves of the truth. Any crossing this line by disputing their premise that Valentino and Daven were lovers is met with an immediate accusation of homophobia. Any demand for proof or documentation in questioning these insinuations most always results in one's being deleted and blocked from the meekest discussion in online forums and groups. This is a fiercely defended hoax.
I refute the premise André Daven was Rudolph Valentino's
greatest love, refute the premise he discovered Josephine
Baker, refute the premise Daven attended Valentino's funeral and refute the premise he was one of Valentino's pallbearer.
I present the case this is a calculated hoax spawned
originally by a Valentino porn fiction writer and now perpetuated
by his intellectually dishonest followers. I will be referring to
the Valentino porn fiction writer as this pseudonym because I do
not want to have his name associated with mine or
that of Rudolph Valentino any longer.
I will explain why I allege the André Daven hoax is homophobic in
origin and on the eve of a brand new year and decade, I present this documentation in the spirit of presenting Valentino's battered legacy with
some fresh truth. I call for positive action to expose
this false narrative and its accompanying vitriol which should no
longer have a place in the discussion of one, Rudolph Valentino.
