The publicist for a lesbian actress and musician who says she was escorted off a flight for “one modest kiss” of her partner says the encounter was not a stunt for her band’s upcoming breast cancer awareness tour.
Leisha Hailey, best known for playing Alice Pieszecki in the now defunct Showtime lesbian life drama “The L Word,” asked her Twitter followers to boycott Southwest Airlines after the encounter Monday.
The airline responded that Hailey’s display of affection was excessive and drew customer complaints.
The actress and her partner, Camila Grey, denied in a statement released Tuesday that the affection they showed toward each other was inappropriate.
“We want to make it clear we were not making out or creating any kind of spectacle of ourselves, it was one modest kiss,” the written statement said. “We are responsible adult women who walk through the world with dignity. We were simply being affectionate like any normal couple.”
US Weekly is reporting that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are finally going to tie the knot after six years and six kids together.
Reports have the couple possibly going to France to marry, although an insider says their wedding will be “intimate and informal.”
Pitt and Jolie had been opposed to marrying each other until all marriages — gay or straight — were legal, but US Weekly reports that their kids may have changed their minds.
