- The White Lotus star Jennifer Coolidge has praised her gay fans
- She says they’ve “improved her life”
- It comes after a recent TikTok made fans think she was a lesbian
The White Lotus star Jennifer Coolidge has heaped praise on her LGBTQ+ fan base, labelling them a “superior group of people.”
It’s a nice counterpoint from a comedienne who just a few years ago went viral for the line “These gays are trying to murder me,” as dizzy billionare Tanya in The White Lotus season 2.

The star of A Minecraft Movie was speaking to People at the opening of The Tryst Hotel in Mexico when she shared her thoughts. When asked about why she loved her LGBTQ+ fans so much she didn’t hold back.
“I don’t know, I think maybe heterosexual people are more self-conscious. I think gay men and gay women just let loose and have a blast. They know how to have a really fun time,” explained Coolidge during a drag brunch event.

“They’re really original, you know? They’re, I don’t know, just a superior group of people. I can’t get enough of this, frankly.”
Watch for yourself above.
“My life would be nothing [without it]”
These quotes come hot on the heels of some other, equally glowing chat from Coolidge about her gay fanbase.
This time speaking to Pride, the American Pie actress said discussed the profound impact the community has had on her throughout her life.
“Well it’s very very mutual,” she began. “I feel like I joined the LGBTQ+ community before, when I was young, we didn’t all know that we were… I was kind of lost as a young kid, we all find out later. Most of my buddies are gay men and gay women too, we just all felt like we were the same tribe.
“I could go on forever about how much it has improved my life. If it hadn’t happened, if I hadn’t met everybody from the gay community that I know, I think my life would be nothing [without it].”
Is Jennifer Coolidge a lesbian?
Elsewhere, Coolidge recently went viral for a TikTok that suggested that she might be a lesbian.
Earlier this week, a user named @Tessk142 posted a clip with Coolidge. The TikToker says “I’m a lesbian,” to which Coolidge replies “I am too!”
Tess then asks if they should kiss – but quickly changed her mind. Fans loved the moment.
“SHE THOUGHT ABOUT IT,” shouted one user.
“How did we not know that Jennifer Coolidge is a lesbian???” asked a second.
“why is no one talking about Jennifer Coolidge coming out”
Naturally, it caused fans to go into overdrive although there’s no indication that this was anything other than a quick joke.
