Quote of the Day: Sanaa Lathan Chats with Bossip

Posted by Bossip Staff

Bossip had the pleasure of chatting with the beautiful and talented actress recently. We asked Sanaa about all those gay rumors. In her words:

I’m not gay (laughs). I have nothing against the gay lifestyle at all. I have a lot of great girlfriends. I would call myself a girl’s girl meaning I really have great friends, I’m not one of those women who doesn’t like to be around other beautiful women, because some women are threatened by that. Regina Hall is a great friend of mine; Gabrielle Union is a great friend of mine. I have good girlfriends; they’re like my sisters.

Click HERE for the entire interview, where Sanaa talks about her current projects, relationship with Wale Ogunleye and more.

    She’s one of the few actresses that I would actually take the time out to watch…

    She is an execellent balance for the mess that is currently out there…NEW YORK (aka…Tiffany Pollard), SUPER HEAD (aka…Super head)…

    You catch my drift…

    Yeah Whatever Sanaa, Not gay my ass. I don’t have anything against a gay person but I do have something against what they believe in. ALL gays go to hell believe it or not, all supporters of GAYS go to hell believe it or not. The Bible claims it so if you support gays then you either don’t believe in the Bible or your just a dumb ass.

    ANYWAYS..
    She’s so fake to me, I only liked one movie from her..the one with the White man and Golden Brooks.

    Finally, a person who realizes that you’re supposed to have female FRIENDS and that not everyone is a Homosexual or wants to be. All this Homosexual mess is getting out of hand and it’s a shame that people feel compelled to say “Nothing against Homo’s!” It’s a sad day when what is normal behavior is now interpreted as Homosexual! It’s pathetic that she has to even explain herself to fools; by saying, “I’m a girls, girl.”

    If I were in some of these stars position, I would not even dignify people with these kinds of interviews! it is not worth it! because you are going to get people just like the ones here talking mad SHIT! when Sanaa is the one going to the BANK! and is not thinking about a gossip blog! as a matter of fact she’s been going to the BANK for a long time, because her Dad has been around since the early 70’s I see his name on the credits of all those old shows that were hits! keep doing you Sanaa!

    You are so correct. I am also tired of it too. Seems like you can’t have a decent girls night out without being labeled a lesbian.

    On another note…Jesse Jackson got caught on a “hot mic” making disparaging remarks against Obama, not aware that his mic was on. Jesse has issued an apology, not sure what he said, but CNN is following the story and details I’m sure are soon to follow.

    Jesse told CNN that his comments were very crude and he thought it was a private moment. He’s also stressing what a big supporter he is of Obama. He’s apparently very upset and contrite. He’s heartsick!!

    According to Don of CNN, he’s never heard Jesse sound so bad. WTH did he say?!?! Gosh, a part of me doesn’t even want to know. Wolf invited him to come on CNN and he declined, said maybe tomorrow. You know it’s a cold day in hell when Jesse turns down a media oportunity.

    Stay tuned!!

    Sanaa is one of the hottest actress on scene, and I think it’s a good thing she celebrates sisterhood with other black actresses, sometimes there is too much animosity among us (balck women) and that is unfortunate!

    Oops, I just realized I didn’t finish my thought…”they’ll probably forgive Jesse and keep it moving”.

    Speaking of awkward…Reminds me of when I started out in PR and went to an awards luncheon with the president of the firm where I worked. Why was the MC drunk, slurring his words and messing up, it was embarrassing. Anyway, after the event was over, we jump in a cab (sitting in the back seat) and I’m aware that the cab stops to pick up another fare who sits in the front.

    Okay, when the president asks me what I thought of the luncheon, why did I talk about how terrible the MC was, how drunk he was, blah, blah, blah, when I noticed that the president had gotten really quiet. Well, when the cab stops to drop off the fare at the Washington Post, who do you think it was…none other than the MC. At that point, I was beyond mortified, because he undoubtedly heard everything that I said.

    Needless to say, it was an embarrassing afternoon back at the office because in no time, everybody heard about how badly I put my foot in my mouth.

    @ Just sit and be pretty,

    Your story reminds me of the time I was f*ckin’ this married man, i knew his wife did hair but i didnt know where, well i was talking about all the gifts and money he was giving me and how he was married to some ugly buck-toothed b*tch, then i said his name and it was his wife! So i just kindly got outta her chair with my hair 1/2 pressed and curled, paid her for 1/2 of her normal charge, didnt tip her, said im sure theres more than one man named “Dequarell” in Miami, then ran outta the salon.

    Hey angie is that a pic of your wedding?

    Can i ask you a few questions?
    After the wedding did the groom ask your side of the family to stay around and clean up?
    Did the groom make your side of the family go thru metal detectors before they could enter the church?
    Did the groom post a security guard at the gift table?
    Did the groom ask if you had any relatives who were really good at parking cars?
    So there’d be enough shrimp to go around, did the groom issue your side of the family meal tickets that could only be used after his side of the family was full?
    When the reverend said “you may kiss the bride” did he kiss you on the cheek so his mom wouldnt have a heart attack in the church?
    When they were throwing rice, did he tell your family that he prefered “uncle bens” because it reminded him of their old butler Jasper?
    Did 1/2 of your wedding pictures look like an eclipse then a heatwave?
    At your reception did the floor clear until they stated playing Bryan Adams, John mayer or Celine Dion?
    When your new white husband carried you over the thereshold, did he use the backdoor so no neighbors could see?
    When you two fight does he call you “bitch” or “black bitch”?
    At the reception when you all did the electric slide, did his side of the family think it was a tribal dance ceremony?
    Did his racist uncle bring a dirty old broom for you two to jump over?
    At the wedding toast, did that same uncle ask everyone to raise you glasses of champagne and you n*ggers do the same with your 40’s?
    Did a few of your cousins do it?
    While walking out of the church did you husband ask you to sit in the front and drive while he sat in the back?
    In the wedding invitations did he let your side of the family know they planned on doing background checks before they acknowledged those RSVP’s?

I just wish she had the opportunity to play in bigger projects so people could see how great she is. When this woman cries on film, I feel it!

    Although I always pray that this is a rumor, I am inclined to assume that SANAA has gotten herself caught up in ‘THE LIFE’…that expanding little club of Black actresses and actors that screw each other in the ass and women who play the rolls of men.

    We have been around these sick ass white folks so long that we have actually become them and they want to be us.

    “The gay lifestyle?” You mean, going to work, paying taxes, raising kids, cleaning the house, mowing the lawn, etc.? I hope Sanaa isn’t gay — if she were, it would be apparent that she suffers from a serious case of internalized homophobia. If she is not, as she says, then she is merely anothre ignorant het girl. Either way, she’s lost a fan.
