Jessie J Opens Up About Being Bi-Sexual

Published: Wednesday 18th May 2011 by Sam

Jessie J has taken the world by storm with her undeniable talent. Yet, in an industry where the more accessible you are, the more successful you are, the Essex-bred belter has decided to open up about her sexuality.

No secret to her British fans, J has spoken on being Bi-Sexual previously. However, the ‘Price Tag’ singer does so for the first time on a US platform in OUT’s ‘Hot List’.

Full story below…

On being bi-sexual but refusing to turn her sexuality into some kind of crusade:

“If you love somebody and they’re the same sex as you, you should be able to marry them and you should be able to have children with them, but I don’t feel that sexuality should define anyone…Everybody’s life is their own and they have their own faith and religion and sexuality, and I don’t think I want to shove anything down people’s throats.”

The powerhouse also spoke on being under-the-radar in the States:

On her still somewhat under-the-radar persona in the US:

“It’s quite nice to be able to walk around without people wanting a picture or running over to me…I recently had a bit of a panic attack [in London], like a moment of I can’t go out by myself anymore!“…”At the end of the day I’ve spent seven years preparing for this, and if I wasn’t aware of the fact that your independence gets taken away and that your life isn’t the same, then I couldn’t really do the job…You’ve just got to embrace it.”

    @ bey’knight I agree with you. Except, I would switch out gaga for madonna. It’s been boring for years now….

    Why is, who is in your bed relevant to anything? It’s not. This tac smacks of desperation for attention…

    Artists/celebs in REAL in same s** or bisexual relationships generally go about their day choosing not to make their sexuality gimmick or headline grabber. Sometimes out of fear but more so because they are the kind of artists with enough talent to have their work speak for itself and not a relationship.

    I’m proud of Jessie. She has always been open and honest in all her interviews without trying to place provocative soundbites or be cryptic for gossip or attention sake.

  10. YEA SURE I BELIEVE YOU May 18, 2011

    *sigh* so tired of these female celebs hopping on the “i’m bi!” bandwagon to make a name for themselves and/or reel in the gay consumers.

  11. OSO May 18, 2011

    here we go!!!

  12. lol May 18, 2011

    @bey’knight brutal

    Jessie has been openly since before GAGA became big. She has been with her current or ex girl for a loooong time. She’s not band wagoning, If she was she’d probably go the extreme attention w**** route RiRi n Gaga, Madonna, Aubrey O’day and all the other pink pound chasers do. Thats really all its about, they know the power of the support from the gay community so their music, image and public persona are marketed to that market. I don’t mean to offend but I find it just as unimaginative as the mainstream artist trying to make themselves more URBAN or street in an effort to attract the URBAN market. Artists like Adele heck even Subo did their thing without all the pandering and gimmicks.

    You dumb b******! She is gay but nowhere in the article has she directly referenced her own sexuality. She’s speaking generally. Stop reaching Sam…

  14. True Blue May 18, 2011

    Co-sign 100% with her.

    And as for people doubting the sincerity of her bisexuality, I can somewhat understand that since SOME do pretend or play up their bisexuality because it advances their career in some way. And it’s quite interesting that it’s only acceptable for females to be bi or gay.

    But Jessie J and Gaga, I don’t believe for a second that they announce their sexuality for publicity. They don’t go around flaunting it or talking about it every second. It’s just who they really are, and I think their intentions behind coming out are purely honest.

    OH LAWD REALLY?

    Well she will be a big hit in the USA!

    Just make music and stop with all the foolishness and gimmicks! THANKS…..

    @True Blue

    lol, I just have a problem with women that think its so COOL & CUTE to be BI or whatever…

    I look at them & Im like SO, WHO CARES?? 😐

    Its not even interesting anymore unless you’re a guy where it actually MATTERS & holds Weight..

  22. Beyonsay May 18, 2011

    The only way to be relevant these days is to pretend like your bi.. GIRL get lost. Gaga, katy perry, nicki all play bi sexual or bi curious or bi interested whatever.. Over played honey pick something else to lie about.

  23. KoreanDream May 18, 2011

    @TrueBlue
    I totally, 100% agree.

  24. True Blue May 18, 2011

    @ S***:

    OK, I actually get you now.

    You’re right, even in this day & age a male entertainer will more likely get shunned for being gay/bi than a female one will.

    That’s not to say gay women don’t face discrimination as well, but it doesn’t seem to be to the same extent that guys do. What an odd double-standard.

    So many girls say they are Bi just to hava attention or to be cool, because guys like that. Jessie J, I knew she was since I listen to her songs.. theres many lyrics that talk about it.. ” love doesn’t choose a girl or a man” or somethin like that.. also ”Nobody’s perfect” Im pretty sure she talkin about a relation with a girl.. Anyways, me Im glad that more celebrity tells they are bi or gay.. it makes people more open to accept differences in the society. Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie, Drew Barrymore, and many more are bisexuals, and I am too.. but again, theres some peoples just tells they are to look cool or whatever, I think its chill if a girl want to have an experience but she’s not necessarily bi. You have to be able to love a boy and a girl unconditionnaly to pretend to be bisexual. Me I think everybody are lol, but at different grades.. love doesn’t choose a boy or a girl, its just love!

  41. Sophie September 7, 2011

    You have inspired me not to feel so bad about my sexuality as ive felt for some time. Hopefully i will be able to relax more. I hope there are more celebs like you who dont conform with the expected sexual ideals. Ta J J (like my other heroin judge judy, lol) xx
