Reneé Rapp has responded after Australian singer Betty Who speculated about Rapp's sexuality.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan published Sept. 5, Rapp said she is publicly in a "very loving relationship with a woman" and isn't surprised by comments questioning her identity as a lesbian. The comments come after Who, whose real name is Jessica Newham, said in a podcast that Rapp may one day meet a man who changes her mind and becomes the love of her life.
Rapp said she has come to expect similar comments.
"No, I'm never surprised. People are always going for lesbians! Somebody's gonna bring my name into the conversation if they want to be in the conversation. So no, it doesn't surprise me at all," Rapp said without directly mentioning Who's name.
The 25-year-old actor and musician said people are consistently dismissing her lesbian identity by suggesting she simply "hasn't found the right man."
