10 September 2024<\/time>\n<\/p>\nSasheer Zamata has come out as “one of those late-in-life lesbians”.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sasheer Zamata opens up on sexuality<\/p>\n
\nThe ‘Agatha All Along’ actress – who previously appeared on ‘Saturday Night Life’ from 2014 and 2017 – explained that she doesn’t “necessarily” want her identity to be kept “private” as she revealed she is part of the LGBTQ+ community.<\/p>\n
\nSpeaking to Them magazine, she said: “I\u2019m out in my life and I do keep my personal life kind of private, but I also don\u2019t necessarily want my identity to be private.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI guess I\u2019m one of those late-in-life lesbians. I just feel very comfortable and confident in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe 38-year-old actress – who has also appeared in ‘Woke’, ‘Waco: The Aftermath’, ‘Home Economics’ and more – reflected on being repeatedly cast as “queer women” in various projects before she had come to terms with her own sexuality.<\/p>\n
\nShe recalled: “I kept getting cast as queer women. I played a lesbian on Home Economics.<\/p>\n
\n“I played a lesbian on ‘Woke’. I played a lesbian on ‘Tuca and Bertie’. A lesbian on ‘Last O.G.’<\/p>\n
\n“I kept getting these roles. And this is before I myself was figuring out my identity. I was like, \u2019Whoa, what are these casting directors seeing that I\u2019m not seeing?’\u201d<\/p>\n
\nSasheer decided to open up about her sexuality now because she didn’t want to keep “ignoring a part of me” publicly, despite considering the idea of just not discussing it.<\/p>\n
\nShe explained: “No one asks straight people about their journey of discovery, but I guess it felt like if I didn\u2019t say anything, I\u2019d be ignoring a part of me, and that doesn\u2019t feel very good.<\/p>\n
\n“But yeah, I\u2019ve definitely had thoughts of, not necessarily keeping it a secret, but [that] there\u2019s no need to say anything about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nAnd she had praised for singer Chappell Roan for setting her own “boundaries” with fans when it comes to privacy as a celebrity.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: “As far as what people deserve to know? Nothing. They don\u2019t deserve anything. I feel very fortunate so far.<\/p>\n
\n“I have fans who are good about respecting my privacy, and I hope that continues. And I hope artists like Chappell Roan who are very clear about boundaries keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
