Kendall Jenner shut down long-swirling rumors that she is part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
“Then there’s the whole side of the internet that thinks I’m a lesbian,” Jenner said on Friday’s episode of Owen Thiele’s “In Your Dreams” podcast.
The model confirmed that she is not gay — but that she would have no problem coming out if she were.
“I understand that coming out is not an easy thing for anybody, if not most people,” she admitted. “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.”
Jenner, 30, acknowledged that she knows coming out is not “an easy thing” to do.
“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,” she said.
The “Kardashians” star reflected on the “narrative” that she is “hiding this thing” from her fans.
“I’ve seen really f–ked up things that are like, ‘It’s bad for business,’ and I’m like, ‘What? How?’ I don’t understand it,” she said.
“All’s to say, as of today, I am not [gay],” she added, before admitting, “I don’t think I will be, but I’m not closing doors to experiences in life.”
The self-proclaimed tomboy did express her frustrations with how “mean people are” about the rumor of her sexuality.
“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–k are you doing?’” she said.
For years, social media has run rampant with unfounded rumors that Jenner is gay or bisexual and has had secret relationships with other women.
The Hulu star believes the rumor started because she is private about her dating life.
When asked about the rumors in a Vogue interview, she said, “I think it’s because I’m not like all my other sisters, who are like, ‘Here’s me and my boyfriend!’”
She continued, “I don’t think I have a bisexual or gay bone in my body, but I don’t know! Who knows?! I’m all down for experience — not against it whatsoever — but I’ve never been there before.”
Jenner has a long list of men on her dating roster.
The “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” alum previously dated Harry Styles, Nick Jonas, Blake Griffin, Ben Simmons, Devin Booker, and Bad Bunny.
