Jodie Foster Finally Coming Out of Closet?
Certain media pundits are agog with speculation that Jodie Foster is now, at 44, about to come out as a lesbian. It's been speculated for a long time that Jodie Foster pitches for the other side, however, she's always lead a very private life away from the cameras, raising her two sons with her long-term partner Cydney Bernard.
All of this speculation has come to a head because, recently she acknowledged her partner publicly at an awards ceremony. Smart, successful, educated and never known to be linked with a man, Jodie Foster may now, at 44, decide it's time to be open about her life choices. Pundits speculate that now that her two sons are growing older, and now that she's stepping behind the camera more, rather than in front of it, maybe she's more comfortable with coming out of the closet.
Hollywood has long been a male-dominated world where women starlets have to be considered sexually desirable, or something similar meaning but more crudely sounding. Jodie Foster has long been aware of this double-standard; years ago, after returning to Hollywood after completing her Ivy League education, she was told to drop her freshman pounds or she wouldn't get hired for parts. She quickly lost weight, looked fabulous and was as busy as any other A level starlet in Hollywood.
Of course, the media can just be spinning their heels with speculation. Jodie, although very private with her life, has never made an effort to hide her partner, she just hasn't openly acknowledged her publicly or openly said she's gay. Photos have appeared in such celebrity news sites such as PerezHilton.com showing Jodie, her two sons and her partner, Cydney, going about their daily business. These photos don't raise alot of public questions, perhaps because although she hasn't come out publicly saying she's gay, everyone has just assumed she is gay and just moved on. No story here.
