Gillian Anderson’s latest comments about her orientation were meant to give a name to something she had discussed publicly for years. Instead, the reveal quickly sent parts of the internet in a very different direction.
The X-Files star said she identifies as pansexual, explaining that she is attracted to people of all genders. While many fans welcomed her honesty, others immediately questioned why she chose to announce it now.
“Is her career faltering by any chance?” one person asked. Another wrote, “Marketing.”
