When you hear someone utter remarks like this you should always ask: What is your factual basis for such a statement? I mean, how did that person know. Were they there during Shakespeare's life.
And, truly, what does it matter today. People like that are only trying to tear down what we admire in life because their lives are so inadequate. Don't listen to tripe. Listen to beauty. "What light by yon window breaks?"
That light if we are lucky is reason and acceptance of artists regardless of their life's choices.

Over the years there have been a multitude of attempts to defame the greatest writer of the English language. None of them pan out or can be proved. So, who cares?? Would any of these allegations if proven true negate his great contributions to literature and thought?? Time would be better spent by gossip mongers if they read and tried to understand Shakespeare's insights into human nature rather than trying to "prove" or speculate whether or not he was a homosexual, a womanizer, or an alcoholic. As a student of his work and life, I have found no concrete evidence that any of those defamations are true.
Chow!!

Lies. Nothing more than baseless, shallow lies. Shakespeare was married to Anne Harthaway, a woman older than him. All of his energy was spent at the London Globe theater. Whoever told you Shakespeare was an alcoholic and womanizer is a liar. Shakespeare, nevertheless, wrote about characters in his plays who were alcoholics and womanizers.

There is much mystery about Shakespeare. Some say he never existed, that it was Bacon or Marlowe that wrote the works in his name.

no it's not true but there is some rumors that he had homosexual tendencies. He was married for 3 years its said and left he had a few affairs but no one knows it has yet to be proven. Technically no he was not a womanizer or a alcoholic.
