The video was of Champion and his husband Rubem Robierb at the airport, awaiting their Brazilian vacation.
In a comment that now appears to be deleted, the fan told Champion: “Just so you know, somebody was impersonating you.”
She said the imposter was “asking me for money for orphans. I just thought you’d wanna know that.”
“I thought it was really you,” the fan added.
She said that she was communicating with the imposter until he asked her for money, noting that she’s “not stupid.”
Champion replied to his fan: “Please report!!”
“And if they scammed you for money. Call the police !!!”
In January, Champion took a vacation in Ipanema, Rio De Janeiro with his husband where they showed off their Speedos on Instagram.
Many of Champion’s peers and fans were quick to comment on their adoration of the beach picture.
“OKAY,” said fellow journalist Jenise Fernandez with fire emojis.
“Love this!” noted well-known singer, activist, and drag queen, Shangela.
Some fans questioned the swimwear decision.
“Really?” asked one user, while another said, “Nooooo, speedos are just OUT!”
Champion simply replied: “Then don’t wear one.”
