Jessie J: I Am Not Lesbian

Jessie J has taken to Twitter to slam accusations made in a new book that she was forced to hide her sexuality. In a new unauthorized biography, written by Chloe Govan, the author claims that Jessie is a lesbian, but was ordered to hide her sexuality so as to keep her commercial appeal. In the book, Jessie J: Who’s Laughing Now, Govan says that Jessie was told by record executive that she would be more appealing to fans if she said that she was bisexual instead of a lesbian.

Jessie J claims rumors of her being a lesbian are totally untrue.

The author claims:

Jessie might have been with boys in the past – but she is 100 per cent gay. Jessie was openly lesbian and didn’t hide it.”

She was advised not to come out, though. Certain people thought being bi was trendy, exotic and a fashion statement. It would increase her allure.”

She continued:

Being gay would alienate people. They knew how important image was and asked her to tone it down a bit.. There are so many homophobes out and there were fears of a career-damaging backlash.”

Jessie has since joked about the new allegations saying on her Twitter:

Its funny how many people I’ve datedslept with that I’ve never even met according to the tabloids. BUT what’s that?! *whispers because its a secret* I’m really a lesbian?! Ha! Thanks for writing yet another boring untrue story. I thought I was still dating Tinie, NO Ellie G, NO Mark Wright….bla bla bla!”

Jessie J has always been an open bisexual woman. Last year Jessie revealed:

I’ve never denied it. Whoopie doo guys, yes, I’ve dated girls and I’ve dated boys – get over it. If I meet someone and I like them, I don’t care if they’re a boy or a girl.”

Actually, who cares? I personally do not.
