Taylor Jenkins Reid is sharing her own story.
The author of best-selling books like Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Daisy Jones & the Six and Malibu Rising recently came out as bisexual.
“I am very private. So, at first, I just sort of let people assume what they were going to assume,” Reid shared in Time magazine’s latest cover story, published May 15. “It has been hard at times to see people dismiss me as a straight woman, but I also didn’t tell them the whole story.”
The 41-year-old—who is married to screenwriter Alex Jenkins Reid—noted that, while many of her early relationships were with men, she first fell in love with a woman when she was in her 20s.
“This was the late ’90s, so nobody was talking about bisexuality. And if they were, it was to make fun of people,” Reid explained. “The messages about bisexuality were you just want attention or it was a stop on the way to gayville. I found that very painful, because I was being told that I didn’t know myself, but I did.”
