So when Queen Latifah appeared on Larry King Live last month and declared that her personal life was off limits, I felt it was her right.
But it also felt kind of strange, and annoying frankly, that she would make that mind of rule when she was on the show promoting a memoir called Put on Your Crown: Life-Changing Moments on the Path To Queendom.
I thought, can someone with so many walls up be an effective role model about finding your inner self etc. – especially when they are dodging any mention of their sexuality?
Latifah was indeed candid about how the death of her brother affected her life and her outlook. But the mere mention by Larry that she doesn’t discuss her personal life caused Latifah to interject,“Nope… don’t go there, Larry.”
“I don’t read all of the blogs and I’m not media hungry like that,” she said when asked how she protects her privacy. “I don’t have to look at myself online every day…. I share with the public the things that we should share. We should share music. Let’s share that. Let’s share films. Let’s share that. Let’s share thoughts about positive things. Let’s share those things, but what happens in my personal, personal life is my personal business.”
True enough. But a series of photos that have surfaced of Latifah and Jeanette Jenkins in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat say a lot more than any answers or non-answers she can give to Larry King.
Come OUT already!
