The infamous former New York promoter spoke to the magazine at the Elmira Correctional Facility where’s he’s ten years into a 10-20 year term for slaughtering and dismembering Angel Menendez, though received little sympathy from local portal Queerty.
“If we were Alig, we'd be more worried that people would fear getting murdered,” the New York site scoffed, “(and being) hacked into pieces and thrown into the Hudson River.”
Alig’s ex-boyfriend DJ Keoki, disagreed, however, telling Skrufff, “I don’t think Michael will have a problem finding someone to be with, he has plenty of admirers and detractors who can’t wait to meet him.”
Keoki dated Alig for nine years in the ‘80s and early ‘90s, splitting up three years before Alig killed Angel Melendez. They continue to correspond by letter, he said.
“I have never been afraid of Michael and do not fear him now; ironically Michael is responsible for installing some powerful early seeds of fearlessness in me,” said Keoki.
“He is, and will probably always be the most incredible person I’ve ever met. He has also done the most horrific things I’ve ever seen or imagined,” he added.
Alig also told the New Yorker magazine he hopes to one day emulate the success of clean-living ex club kids Ru Paul and Larry Tee, saying “you can be edgy without being self-destructive” prompting an illuminating response from Larry.
“Can Michael still make New York City spin- I can’t rule anything out because not so long ago I was a total druggie burnout has-been in New York City, especially when I was in Recovery early on,” Larry told Skrufff.
“I totally battled with the idea that I couldn’t be the wild man of New York nightlife if I led a drug-free life, but in fact I find that I have more fun clean and the same might be true for Michael. And ‘edgy’ is the new mainstream anyway, innit-” he laughed.
“I don’t think drugs make a person less edgy or more edgy, just like I don’t think drugs make a person more of a murderer or less of one,” Keoki agreed.
