I was like, \u2018This is something that I\u2019ve chosen for myself. I don\u2019t need it to be this thing that people have an opinion on.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">However, it ended up becoming part of her arc when another contestant, Ashley Iaconetti, had admitted to being a virgin herself. \u201cThen, one of the other girls came back from a conversation with him and she was really upset and she\u2019s like, \u2018I don\u2019t know how he took it.\u2019 I totally forgot I had a microphone on [and] I had seven cameras on me, and I go, \u2018I\u2019m a virgin too.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She went on to say, \u201cThat became my storyline, and it was a great thing because I feel there were people [watching] that had made the same choice. I wanted them to see that you could be confident and sure and know your worth and make that decision for yourself and that [would] be OK.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/shop?utm_source=yahoo&amp;utm_medium=syndication&amp;utm_campaign=shop2025\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere.

A few years later, in 2022, she came out as queer. This is after she had been dating Kiyoko for several years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI was very religious and I really wanted to follow the rules I was taught,\u201d she said. \u201cI think even if there was a part of me that had those feelings for a girl, it was just kind of shut off. I never had the experience of feeling like I was in the closet. I was so shut off to that concept because I liked guys enough that I was, like, \u2018This is just what I\u2019m supposed to do.\u2019 \u2026 Hayley\u2019s the first girl that I was, like, \u2018I want to kiss her.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\">Related News<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"ct:story;elm:img;itc:0;\" class=\"stretched-box\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/celebrity\/articles\/nikki-glaser-likes-her-boyfriend-163452293.html\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"relative\"><\/div>\n<p><\/a><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p><span>Nikki Glaser &#8216;Likes&#8217; When Her Boyfriend Hooks Up With Other Women<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"ct:story;elm:img;itc:0;\" class=\"stretched-box\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/celebrity\/articles\/kristin-cavallari-says-hooking-hills-152930646.html\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Kristin Cavallari attends Liquid Pool at CityCenter on April 24, 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/H1gVAE11.Q7TbQsKjCpJ4g--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/complex_131\/ca4d3caec9e37641c482ccd57ed8ad8e\"\/><\/div>\n<p><\/a><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p><span>Kristin Cavallari Says Hooking Up With \u2018The Hills\u2019 Cameraman Got Him Fired<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"ct:story;elm:img;itc:0;\" class=\"stretched-box\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/celebrity\/articles\/outer-banks-star-madelyn-cline-162410984.html\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Madelyn Cline attends The 2024 Met Gala Celebrating 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion' at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 06, 2024 in New York City.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"539\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/JPfYnwdI3Wj7osbke4WNag--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTUzOTtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/complex_131\/56c8dcd5532e4f77d7c8e96326b5c8c8\"\/><\/div>\n<p><\/a><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p><span>\u2018Outer Banks\u2019 Star Madelyn Cline Reportedly Dating TikToker Henry Smith<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\"><b>Related News<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><b><i><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/oshea-jackson-jr-claps-back-180133391.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:O'Shea Jackson Jr. Claps Back at Ice Cube Film Criticism: 'He's Been in Four Franchises';elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;O'Shea Jackson Jr. Claps Back at Ice Cube Film Criticism&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">O&#8217;Shea Jackson Jr. Claps Back at Ice Cube Film Criticism: &#8216;He&#8217;s Been in Four Franchises&#8217;<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><b><i><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/barbie-ferreira-shares-details-euphoria-195945749.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Barbie Ferreira Shares New Details on \u2018Euphoria\u2019 Exit After Season 2;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Barbie Ferreira Shares New Details on \u2018Euphoria\u2019 Exit After Season 2&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Barbie Ferreira Shares New Details on \u2018Euphoria\u2019 Exit After Season 2<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/shop?utm_source=yahoo&amp;utm_medium=syndication&amp;utm_campaign=shop2025\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere.
