Sara Gilbert, who played daughter Darlene Conner on a decade’s worth of “Roseanne” and now has a guest staring role as Leslie Winkle on “The Big Bang Theory,” officially came out publicly about her partner and her sexuality Thursday at a panel discussion for her upcoming CBS show “The Talk.” At the Television Critics Assn. summer press tour in Beverly Hills, Gilbert spoke openly about raising a boy and a girl with her partner, TV producer Allison Adler.
Per PopEater:
“I’ve been acting my whole life, and I’ve never really discussed my personal life. This is a talk show, so obviously, I’m going to be discussing my life more, and I felt that the first place I wanted to do it wasn’t in a CBS press release. It just seemed impersonal, and I felt like I’d rather come in person and talk to you about all that stuff here,” she added.
She’ll be discussing motherhood, parenting and more soon on “The Talk” with co-hosts Julie Chen, Sharon Osbourne, Holly Robinson Peete, Leah Remini and Marissa Jaret Winokur. She addressed her sexuality when asked if she thought it was going to be comfortable being “out.”
“This is a whole new world for me. I’m not an expert on this, or I don’t analyze these things,” she explained. “I’m just sort of living my life.”
“I don’t think [being out] will be a problem … I don’t ever really think of things as being out or in … I just think I am who I am, and when topics come up that are appropriate, I’ll talk about them and share when it seems right,” she added.
I was under the assumption that she’s been ‘out’ for years! But good for her feeling comfortable with who she is!
