Kendall Jenner is once again reminding the internet that imagination is not the same thing as reality and that some of y’all need hobbies that do not involve diagnosing strangers’ sexuality…
While chatting on out actor Owen Thiele’s In Your Dreams, Kendall finally addressed the long-running rumor mill that insists she’s secretly gay.
“There’s the whole side of the internet that thinks I’m a lesbian,” she said, casually dragging half of Twitter and TikTok in one sentence. But according to Kendall, it’s not the assumption that bothers her. It’s the energy. And the energy, she says, is nasty.
“You want to know what really bothers me? How mean people are about it. It’s not with, like, a welcoming arm of like, ‘Hey, if you were, yes, come join.’ It’s not kind. It’s very mean. It’s very like, ‘What the f—- are you doing?’”
Basically, Kendall clocked that some folks are cosplaying as inclusive while sounding like high school bullies with Wi-Fi.
She also made it clear that she understands how personal and complicated coming out can be for a lot of people. But when it comes to her own life, she says there wouldn’t be some mysterious rollout plan or decades-long secrecy.
“I understand that coming out is not an easy thing for anybody, if not most people. And I’m not saying that’s an easy thing, but knowing, and I can speak for myself here, and knowing myself, I think at this point in my life I’d be out if I was. I’m not saying it’s an easy thing. I’m just saying that knowing me and knowing how I would want to live my life, I would be. I’d have no problem being that.”
In other words, if Kendall Jenner had something to announce, trust, you’d know. Probably with a Vogue cover and six paparazzi angles.
She also shut down one of the weirder theories floating around online. The idea that she’s hiding her sexuality because it would somehow be “bad for business.”
“I think that there’s this whole narrative that I’m hiding this thing … I’ve seen really f—— up things that are like, ‘It’s bad for business,’ and I’m like, ‘What? How?’ I don’t understand it.”
To close it out, Kendall gave the most Kendall answer possible. Calm. Honest. No dramatic cliffhanger.
“All’s to say, as of today, I am not [gay]. I don’t think I will be, but I’m not closing doors to experiences in life.”
So there you have it. No secret plot. No hidden agenda. Just Kendall Jenner asking the internet to stop being weird, stop being mean, and maybe stop acting like fan fiction counts as facts.
