For those of us avid Gerald Levert fans, we know all about his classic R&B hits, his late brother and Levert group member, Sean Levert, and his iconic father, Eddie Levert. It wasn’t until recently that we’ve been getting to know tidbits of info about Gerald’s children. Out of his three kids, his 28 year old daughter, Carlysia Levert, has been the most open, regarding her personal life. Today she identifies as a pan-sexual, but the self-described “daddy’s girl” recently revealed EXCLUSIVELY to I LOVE OLD SCHOOL MUSIC, exactly what happened after she came out as a lesbian to her Mother, Carlene, and her Grandpops/O’Jays singer, Eddie Levert.
