The only part the report omitted was the near-open secret that Roberts is a lesbian. A source close to ABC executives told us that although the interview is, at this point, the biggest of her professional career, Roberts wasn't overly enthusiastic about the scoop because she thought it would bring her own sexuality to the forefront.
"Most of the discussions [among TV people] today about why Robin got the interview have to do with her being gay," a source told Gawker. "Not that she's black, or friends of the Obamas."
"It's hardly a secret in the business," the insider said. "I've seen her girlfriend. She's around the building all the timevery attractive and well-dressed."

(63,926 posts)because of her. AS a matter of fact, I liked her MORE because of her breast cancer struggle. I thought she was brave.
This is just silly and very nasty towards Robin. Bad, bad, bad...

(20,634 posts)It sounds as if she is already out. She just doesn't want it to be the focus of the story.
So why make it the focus?

(1 post)You know.... It drives me nuts about this issue who is gay, and who is not!
The day an interviewer sits and faces an interviewee, and says " I am heterosexual" other interviewers might....repeat...... might want to declare their sexual orientation...
Until such time, stop the sick inquisitiveness.
Get a life. Refocus: There's children starving all over the world.
