Thompson stirred up supporters, speaking about her relationship with Janelle Monae, "It's tricky, because Janelle and I are just really private people and we're both trying to navigate how you reconcile wanting to have that privacy and space, and also wanting to use your platform and influence." For many people, that appeared to be an official confirmation of their relationship.
Thompson made it clear that she is bisexual, "I'm attracted to men and also to women. If I bring a woman home, [or] a man, we don't even have to have the discussion." She continued, "That was something I was conscious of in terms of this declaration around Janelle and myself. I want everyone else to have that freedom and support that I have from my loved one, but so many people don't. So, do I have a responsibility to talk about that? Do I have a responsibility to say in a public space that this is my person?"
With social media ablaze over her words, Tessa wrote on Twitter Sunday: "Sometimes we cheer so loudly at someone speaking their truth, that we miss what they say. (Here’s looking at you media journalism). I didn’t say I was in a relationship. But I said lots of other things. All below. One thing I missed — Pride Has No End."

Woodley speaks frankly about her serious side with Jennifer Dickinson, about the sisterhood of 'Big Little Lies' and today's debut of 'Adrift', "a survival story based on Tami Oldham and Richard Sharp’s 1983 experience of being caught in a hurricane and stranded at sea for 41 days, co-starring Brit actor Sam Claflin. Woodley, 26, says she was “stripped to her core” by filming, which involved journeying into open sea every day, jumping into the water to pee when the boat’s toilet broke, and forgoing dinner every day for a month to illustrate Oldham's slow starvation."
British Actor Naomie Harris Cites Female Management Team In Porter Edit Interview April 20, 2018
British actor Naomie Harris is styled by Catherine Newell-Hanson for 'In Shape', lensed by Paola Kudacki for Porter Edit April 20, 2018.
Naomie Harris appeared in the Academy Award-winning Best Picture, 'Moonlight', where she was nominated for an Oscar, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and BAFTA Award for her tour de force performance as the protagonist's mother, Paula.
Harris will appear next in director Andy Serkis’ feature adventure, “Mowgli,” as a member of a stellar cast that includes Benedict Cumberbatch, Christian Bale and Cate Blanchett. The film is scheduled for release later this years.
On the subject of #MeToo in Hollywood, Naomie Harris says that it really wasn't a problem for her, admitting that she was 'protected' from sexual harassment by her managers -- protection not afforded to so many other Hollywood women by their own managers.
Harris candidly offers a simple example of how that works: 'When everything [about Harvey Weinstein] was blowing up, my manager did remind me about a person who asked me, post-screening, to go up to his room and have a drink.
But because my manager is amazing, she immediately stepped in and said, 'That's not happening under any circumstances'. It was four or five years ago." Because she's been surrounded by primarily women on her team, Harris believes she's escaped much of the intimidation, misery or just plain good-fun, male pussy-grabbing so many other women actors have experienced.
Harris also takes up the topic of cultural appropriation, one that will surely bring a hailstorm of Twitter hate onto her shoulders. "'I think it’s a compliment to adopt other cultures and races’ ideas of what makes them look beautiful.'
Zoe Saldana Stars In 'Boldly Go' Lensed By Ward Ivan Rafik For Porter Edit April 6, 2018
Actor Zoe Saldana is styled by Catherine Newell-Hanson in 'Boldly Go', lensed by Ward Ivan Rafik for Porter Edit April 6, 2018.
In her interview with Jennifer Dickinson the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' star admits that always being cast in supporting roles -- the one just perfect for her Dominican and Puerto Rican roots -- was downright depressing.
Saldana added to PorterEdit magazine: "In my country, where I pledged allegiance every day since I was five, to be told when I'm out there trying to pursue my American dream that I was not a traditional American was very hurtful.
"I will never accept that I am not a traditional anything. I come from where I come from, I can't change that, and you come from where you come from."
On the note, the determined actor in the new Marvel Avengers movie, with Avatar and Star Trek in her portfolio, moves forward.
Actor Viola Davis is styled by Catherine Newell-Hanson in 'Strong Statements', lensed by Virginie Khateeb for Porter Edit March 2, 2018./ Hair by Jamika Wilson; makeup by Autumn Moultrie
Viola Davis speaks with honest, compelling and carefully-chosen words, as if every moment before an audience or interview readers is precious and not to be squandered over frivolous small talk. "Authenticity is her rebellion," Viola Davis tells Ajesh Patalay.
When she won an Emmy in 2015 for her role as law professor Annalise Keating in ABC's hit series 'How To Get Away with Murder', Davis didn't bask in the achievement of being the first black woman to win an Emmy in the Lead Actress category.
