Michelle Rodriguez throws a "Curve"ball...
OK, now I'm officially confused.
Michelle Rodriguez is lashing out at the lesbian magazine "Curve" for "outing" her when really, that happened last fall when 'girlfriend' Kristanna Loken gave an interview to the Advocate.
Here is an excerpt I just read via Towleroad.com of what Rodriguez has posted on her website:
"If I were Ellen [DeGeneres] I may get away with: ‘ The I’m Gay’ level of exposure, but I’m not a comedian, I like men; ( real One’s Anyway) and I’ve only bin in this business for 7 years not 20. Years of recognition can give a person lots of leverage especially if you have many years of positive recognition under your belt. There are certain things that can close doors between a celebrity and certain audiences. Especially in a world where walls are constantly being put up by people seeking comfort and groups to belong to. There is so much out there, over-saturation of music, media, Agenda News, war, political drama, high school prom drama, image drama, religion drama, Bully drama. All this drama is caused by one thing, not understanding the true meaning of communication and the real power behind it. It’s tough to learn, I’m working on it myself, but when people come out of nowhere and put words in my mouth or call me Gay, they should really think for one second How they could truly affect my life by doing such things. You don’t know what producer, director, would be husband or future audience member may be influenced by these opinions and media content."
OK, so she's NOT a lesbian? She didn't protest what Lokan saidso it's been out there for awhile. I think her drunk driving etc. could be more of a concern to producers than who she sleeps with!

I think she's probably bisexual. She says she likes men, and she also said to at least one magazine that she'd had experiences with women. Curve magazine never actually called her a lesbian - I think on the cover they called her "bi babe Michelle Rodriguez" or something like that. It's too bad she doesn't feel comfortable being quite as upfront about her bisexuality as her ex, Kristanna Loken - but it's her choice. I don't think she's really hiding it... she doesn't deny anywhere in the post that she just likes women, she just complains about the negative career effects that can come from being outed.
