Hollywood actress Tessa Thompson, 34, has confirmed she is bisexual and spoken on her relationship with singer Janelle Monáe in a new interview with Porter magazine.
According to Campbell; ‘I’m attracted to men and also to women. If I bring a woman home, [or] a man, we don’t even have to have the discussion.’
‘That was something I was conscientious of in terms of this declaration around Janelle and myself. I want everyone else to have that freedom and support that I have from my loved ones. But so many people don’t.’
On her relationship with Janelle Monáe who came out as pansexual months ago, she said: ‘We love each other deeply.’
She added:
‘We’re so close, we vibrate on the same frequency. If people want to speculate about what we are, that’s okay. It doesn’t bother me.’
On rumours they are an item, she said;
It is ‘tricky, because Janelle and I are just really private people and we’re both trying to navigate how you reconcile wanting to have that privacy and space, and also wanting to use your platform and influence.’
She continues: ‘I can take things for granted because of my family – it’s so free and you can be anything that you want to be.’
