Kerry Washington, who is intensely private about her personal life, says she is not bothered by gay rumours.
The 'Django Unchained' star, 36, who is expecting her first child with husband Nnamdi Asomugha, told The Advocate that such rumours originate because there is not much in public about her personal life.
"It's interesting how much people long to fill in the gaps when someone in the public eye doesn't share their personal life. I understand their frustration. I like how people will post pictures of me with other women that I adore, hugging on red carpets, and say, 'See?'," Washington said.
"Are we so uncomfortable with love between two people of the same gender that we immediately label it as sexual? But I've never been bothered by the lesbian rumor. There's nothing offensive about it, so there's no reason to be offended," the 'Scandal' star added.
Washington had surprised her fans by revealing that she had secretly married Asomugha.
