Kendall Jenner breaks her silence on sexuality rumors
Kendall Jenner is finally opening up about the speculations that have followed her for years. The supermodel and The Kardashians icon addressed ongoing online rumors about her sexuality during a recent January 9 episode of Owen Thiele’s In My Dreams podcast appearance, providing a rare and candid response that has followed her for years.


“There’s a Whole Side of the Internet That Thinks I’m a Lesbian”

During the discussion, Jenner acknowledged about the widespread assumptions spreading online.
“Then there's the whole side of the internet that thinks I'm a lesbian,” she stated.


What unsettles her most is not the rumors itself, but the harsh tone attached to it.
“You want to know what really bothers me? How mean people are about it. 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?’”

Jenner highlighted that the commentary often lacks empathy and changes her identity into a source for ridicule rather than understanding.

She further mentioned about her perspective by citing,
“I'm not saying it's an easy thing. 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.”
