Survivor: Game Changers Star Jeff Varner Apologizes to Zeke Smith: "Outing Someone Is Assault"
Zach Johnson
In hindsight, Jeff Varner would have treated Zeke Smith differently.
Realizing he was in danger of going home, Varner told the tribunal, "There is deception on levels here that these guys don't understand." Turning to Smith, he asked, "Why haven't you told anyone you're transgender?" Everyone—Smith included—was taken aback. While Smith said very little, several others leapt to his defense and yelled at Varner, who later apologized. When Jeff Probst explained that he had outed Smith not just to the other players, but also to the entire world, Varner said, "It never dawned on me that no one knew. I'm just devastated."
Varner issued another apology via Instagram after the episode aired.
