Has Jodie Foster Come Out of the Closet?
Posted on Tue Dec 11, 2007 08:02 AM PDT

The Academy Award-winning actress has long refused to talk about her love life...but has that all changed?
According to the Daily Mail, Jodie has acknowledged her longtime partner, Cydney Bernard (pictured above with Jodie and her kids) in an awards acceptance speech earlier this week.
She apparently thanked "my beautiful Cydney who sticks with me through all the rotten and the bliss."
Has The Accused star finally fingered herself as a lesbian? Or will there be a denial issued later?
Whomever Jodie chooses to be with, we're just happy she chooses to continue to play the strong, female characters that she does!

I love Jodie. We all now she's gay but so what? She's classy. She's not out there trying to prove anything to anyone or flaunting her love life.
She's a good actress and that's all I care about.
8:01
Perfect!!!
No one else needs to comment, this sums it up.
You guys think you're clever saying fingered and lesbian in the same sentence.
Recently, quite a few celebrities were said to appear on the millionaire luxury club "Meetrich.com". OMG!!! Are these famous guys fond of internet dating for now?? Maybe they are indeed so rich that they feel boring sometimes to need new things?
About fucking time!
Jody knew better than to stay closeted for this long. Celebrities NEED to come out because kids who ARE being raised in Homophobic families and towns / cities, NEED role models! They need to KNOW they are not alone, and if the parents find out that one of their idols is Gay, then maybe (just ... maybe?) they might not be so hard on their poor kids, for being Gay or being Gay-leaning.
TWO things we will NEVER see: A Gay President, nor an Atheist one. This Country's got a looooong way to go, yet.
WHO actually thought she was straight? She's been hanging with that bulldyke "friend" forever. Come on - the girl loves the pink triangle.
Abbie, you ought to know. Seattle may be progressive, but go 20 miles out of town and you can hear the theme from Deliverance.
8:23am I really dont see your point. Heterosexual celebrities do not have to point out everytime they do an interview, " i as an heterosexual believe..." so why should gay celebrities carry that weight on their shoulders. Sexually, gay or straight, should be something between 2 people, to be celebrated. So good for Jody and let her do movies and enjoy her family life separately.
I agree 8:35. She doesn't have to tell us anything she doesn't want to. She's a good actress and that's good enough.
8:23
Your logic is pretty twisted.
Fingered herself? More like she loves being fingered by her partner. Clever for once X17
8:23 is from Seattle, what did you expect?
Good for her, she is still one of my favorite actors!!
Abbie, you're right, we'll never see a queer president or an atheist one and thank goodness for that, because then we'd really be in hell : )
Abbie ~ We are endowed by our Creator with certain inalianable rights...why in the world would you want a Godless President?! then all of a sudden your "rights" are handed down by a goverment or men in black robes, they have ooverstepped their bounds as it is and if you think things are bad now, you ain't seen nothin yet. Further, we have had a couple "single" Presidents & for all we know they could have been gay... it's their business & their "right" to not share that.
she is a beautiful, talented actress, and a good mom for keeping her kids and partner out of the spotlight. you go girl!
Jodie is a class act
God Bless Jodi Foster and her family!
HURRAY another DYKE for HOLLYWOOD
every one is becoming queer one day at a time
who says "queer"
how stupid
She has never been in the closet - I thought she was a boy when she was in Courtship of Eddie's Father. That said - her sexuality is no ones business any way. She's a great actress and director and a classy person - that's what counts
I get sick and tired of the word "homophobic" being tossed around by those who somehow think every homosexual is being judged. The real word here is obviously, "heterophobic". Straight people do not have the need or desire to go around and label themselves, nor do they feel they have to tell the world of their sexual orientation. Thank God there will be no queer President or athiest president. The country is already a disaster due to the loony left ideas that have been put into force over the many, many years.The fact that Abbie is from Seattle says it all.Oh...Queer is a perfectly good word, they often describe themselves that way 11:03 Anonymous, it isn't stupid.It's a perfectly good word.
Finally. But really, it's nobody's business whether she's gay or not. And who cares anyway.
Good for her, I love her no matter what. She is extremely talented and intelligent.
I hope she lives a long and healithy life with her partner and her lovely childran.
old picture
Good for you Jodie
good on her. Now lets just forget her personal life and get on with watching her fantastic acting abilities.
'Fingered' and 'lesbian' in the same sentence...not very imaginative...
I happen to think Jodie is fabulous and good on her for coming out after all this time. Then again, who didn't know?! She's been a lesbian icon for years anyway, at least now shes talking openly about it.
This woman is an amazing actress and brilliant role model for young lesbians, perhaps struggling with coming out themselves. Hurrah for Jodie!
How long has it taken to figure that one out?
I agree with you 12.44 except for one phras - she is a brilliant role model for all young people, period.
she wasn't in 'courtship of eddie's father' she was in 'family affair' . she might have been in 'eddie's father' ALSO. anyway to 8:23 (name yourself wench)you don't identify yourself as hetro because everyone assumes you are. If you put a photo of your spouse on your desk, no big deal, if I put a photo of mine, it becomes a political statement. If Julia Roberts goes shopping at walmart with the old man- no biggy- Jodie goes, and it is. You are correct- it shouldn't be that way. It shouldn't matter, but it does. It's not fair or right, I was tosed out of a cafe for touching a friends hand once. Touching, not grabbing, not kissing- touching and she was just a friend. But we were both asked to leave, 'such behavior would not be tolerated' it was a long time ago, today I would tell them to kiss my welcome mat. It ain't fair, it ain't right but it would change if more people came forward and said, 'yes! Me too!'
Sorry it wasn't 8:23 I was talking to. it was 12:30.
You proved my point, when you made the comment about the word 'queer'. It is a good word, I love it but when you said 'THEY' use it-- as long as anyone is one of 'THEM' or 'THEY' we ain't free.
Abbie in Seatle: Why do you think she HAS to come out? Why is it any of our business? She is one of the few celebrities who has kept her private life private, which she has every right to do. We berate the celebs that are out running around in the public eye doing stupid things yet when a celeb isn't out parading around in every magazine, the public hates that as well. Based on what happened with Hinkley years ago, she has every right to keep her business private. If you had some crazy stalker trying to assassinate the president to get your attention, you might be a little guarded as well.
Anonymous needs to get a life and get off this site.
excuse me, 12:30 needs to get a life and get off this site
Damn! Guess I won't get to "do" her! Unless she wants to get in on with a bi-guy ;-)
lol @ 6:25
Why are so many Americans so puritanical. It seems to me that it is the God fearing middle Americans that do most of the harm in the world with their ignorant point of view and repressed aggression ......and that is why my dumb little Republican Anonymous we the rest of the world LAUGH AT YOU AND YOUR TYPE.
With regard to Jodie.....who cares, I hope that she lives the life she wants. She is stuck in an idiotic celebrity obsessed culture. I wish that it was mandatory for all US Citizens to travel.. it may reduce the arrogant & dumb quotient

jodie you are a fag
I suspect that you are a fat ugly God fearing dumb American!
By the way fool, one uses the term fag for men only. You really are a moron!
Just the fact that Jodie needed this much time before getting up the nerve to thank her partner during an awards speech shows how much pressure still exists to not share details about her personal life. Unfortunately she must have spent a lot of time and effort trying not to bring attention to this button issue in order to protect her loved ones and protect her career. I am hoping the media and the public will not make a lot of unnecessary drama about this and let the girl finally be comfortable in her own skin. I will always admire her as an actress although I thought The Brave One was way too predictable. Oh well, they can't all be classics.
I would like to see Jodie run for President. She is a popular figure and I suspect that she keeps her politics to herself.
I think that Hillary Clinton is a fantastic candidate for President . She is more than qualified. I would like to see some of the "powerful" women like Jodie support her.
Come on women ...support Hillary . America cannot afford to make anymore mistakes. Bush is an old stupid drunk with an IQ of 90 according to the BBC.

you all make me sick.does any one believe in rght and wrong and sin anymore.Sodimy is a sin no mater what sex does it.
It's about privacy.
You use the term "sin" with right and wrong, forgetting the fact that not everyone on the planet retains the same religious beliefs or non beliefs as you. This is called fundimentalism and it places its practitioner in ugly position of being an uppity holier than thou self righteous zealot and an intolerant dolt. It is primative. Throughout human history, this line of though has caused more wars, violence and death and political strife than famines and plagues combined, and as you can see, it continues today. Is this the results that a benovolent "god" expected to see?

I totally agree. Bush is a religious freak and look at the trouble that he has caused in the world.

as a devout christian i am saddened that jodie foster is an atheist,but i am happy that she has said that she will be okay with her children making their own choice.hopefully they will embrace christ and accept the gift of salvation that he is willing to give to all 6 billion of us.all the christians who read this please pray for her and her family.
