Jodie Foster Comes Out Of The Closet!

Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Jodie Foster

Jodie Foster sent shockwaves through Hollywood this week by publicly acknowledging her same-sex lover of almost 20 years for the first time ever.

The actress was presented with a leadership award by the Hollywood Reporter at a Power 100 breakfast on Tuesday.

When accepting her award, Jodie thanked "my beautiful Cydney who sticks with me through all the rotten and the bliss."

Cydney is Cydney Bernard (pictured above), Foster's longtime partner and co-mother of their children.

In her speech, Jodie went on to characterize herself as a "professional" and a "gentleman," someone that's managed to have a 42-year career in Hollywood and come out relatively sane.

Congratulations, Jodie!

OMG leave the poor woman alone. It's not like she's on drugs, neglecting her children, or flashing her vajayjay to the paps every day. It's her business, and really no one would really care one way or the other. It's a non issue.

Oh yeah. There goes my fantasy to bang Nell.
tonya says – reply to this

62

She was never in the closet, she's just private, unlike all of these overexposed, talentless celebrities. Jodie Foster is extremely talented, and famous for the right reason, unlike most people on your site daily. I respect someone actually not oversharing and putting their business out there for public consumption. It's refreshing.

I read that, gawker said, perez shit his pants. True?
emily says – reply to this

64

yea and I have undeniable sources that can confirm 100% that Castro is dead!!! HAVE SOME CREDIBILITY
Kate says – reply to this

65

Isn't this reading a little too much into it? She thanked a girlfriend. So what. I thank my girlfriends all the time and I'm no lesbian.
Jessica says – reply to this

what-the-fucker-ever! Who cares! it's not like we didn't know. just keep making movies and what not, no one cares about your sexual orientation. Oh by the way, i'm heterosexual. See! It doesn't matter…

DUH!!!
Everyone has known for YEARS that she is a dyke. Nothing wrong with that.
..

She doesn't talk about it because she doesn't talk about anything personal. She is a very private person for hollywood.

SHOULDN'T THE TITLE OF THIS BE , WELCOME TO THE GAYBOURHOOD?
CONGRATS TO JODIE.
tina says – reply to this

72

I always knew she was gay
Realist says – reply to this

73

Jodie's great. She is hugely talented and she's managed to live an honest life and not deny her sexual orientation but without ranting about it and being in your face like some lesbian women in Hollywood. Everyone knows who they are.

74

CLASS ALL THE WAY

Hooray Jody, it is about time!! I always thought you are a class act and a very good actress. I do hope you are not bashed on here. I have tremendous respect for you and wish you the best of everything.

This bull-dyke is a pervert.
Kelly K. says – reply to this

78

She is so gross! I will never watch any of her movies. Not that they were any good. How a women can be with another women is completely and utterly sick. Hollywood is sick for frontiering and advocating gayism.
BLAKK says – reply to this

79

Jodi Foster is great! Her personal life is nobodys fucking business and I respect her for that. So what if shes gay??!! Do we have big news flashes over some celeb stating their straight?? This is 2007 folks..is being gay really that big a deal anymore?? Leave Jodi alone. She is a great actress and if she chooses to come out..then its her choice. Its not that shes ashamed..its just none of your god damn business ya nosey ass fucks!! Love ya Jodi!!!

Re: Kate – GET A CLUE, KATE.
You're a liar says – reply to this

82

Perez, did she actually say 'my beautiful PARTNER/GIRLFRIEND/WIFE Cydney who sticks….' No, she didn't say that. She is still in the closet. On the same night, Travolta said he was a lady or whatever, but he didn't say he was a homo bursting for a cock, did he? Sooooooooooooooo, shut up and get your facts right. Don't put words in her mouth.

83

Cool that she feels comfy enough to mention her wife like that.
k2 says – reply to this

84

Good for her! While most everyone knew or at least assumed, I think she came out in a way that was comfortable for her.

spin bitch says – reply to this

86

OMG, leave the poor woman alone. It’s not like she’s going through a divorce to a womanizing gold digger, going through personal issues that everyone and their dog wants to speculate about, or being swarmed by paps trying to get the money shot every day. It’s her business, and really no one would really care one way or the other. It’s a non issue.
Tara says – reply to this

Hooray, hooray, hooray! Kudos to you, Jodie. I've recently "come out" myself, and it's so damn encouraging to see Hollywood doing the same!

93

XENU WILL NEVER ALLOW TOM TO TAKE SUCH A COURAGEOUS STAND. OR JOHN TRAVOLTA, EITHER. By the way, I don't understand why Jodie would refer to herself as a GENTLEMEN, for she is the MOST ELEGANT LADY IN GOLLYWOOD.
