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.

  7. Mississippi Girl

  9. Hannibal

    STOP LYING SANAA, WE ALL KNOW YO ***** IS A LESBIAN!!

  10. african_4_eva

    GO MS. LATHAN,

    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…

  11. Black Republican (It's So easy 2 Talk When U Aint Walking The Walk)

    Yeah Whatever Sanaa, Not gay my *****. 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 *****.

    ANYWAYS..

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


  12. “Skin Stories” looks interesting…I’ve ALWAYS loved the skin I’M IN and thank God by respecting it!

  13. Hmmm

    @ Black Republican (It’s So easy 2 Talk When U Aint Walking The Walk)

    STFU!

  14. Celebrity CSI

    Having great girlfriends is what gets plenty of us thru life period. I love the 6 I’ve been blessed to have.

  15. kaybaybay

    Who ever said she was gay? I never thought that people are stupid. First they love you,then they hate you,then they start with the gay rumors. She is doing her thing brush those haters off!

  16. EC OUTTA DA QC

    WHAT IS THAT SH*T ON HER CHEST…. ACNE???

  30. Link9

    Nice piture to put up of her.

  31. bree

    Adewales name looks like it is mis-spelled, even though it isnt..

  32. Lady Architect

    Go Sanaa. She’s a very pretty and talented actress. She has that natural everyday glow.

  33. DarkCable

    Pretty than a motha’fka!


  34. @Lauren: NO!

  35. Til You Do Right By Me....

    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.”

    @ Kaybaybay……you said it! Nuff said!


  36. @BREE: You have me cracking up at your comments sometimes! LOL! but U R right it does look wrong!


  37. Well if she says she’s not, she’s not pero she kind of has a vibe that she is so I wouldn’t be surprised.

  38. Moreaces

    She is georgous, Lesbian or not, And I would watch almost anything she was working in

  39. kai

    that yung berg is funny as hell lol……………Sanaa is beautiful. But what is the girls girl ***** about not being one of those women that hate on other women because they are beautiful. I am a GUYS girl and thats NOT because women are beautiful but rather *****y and flighty…


  40. 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 *****! 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!

  41. Moreaces

    @ Black Republican (It’s So easy 2 Talk When U Aint Walking The Walk)

    STFU

    ^^^

    Co-Sign!!

  42. I'm Just Me (I AIN'T WITH REDBONE N*GGAS)

    Love, Love, Love Sanaa. Really, really do and she said some very interesting stufff. I like that ideao about the do*****entary and respect Vaseline for stepping it up!


  43. @KAI: she means if she is in a room full of beautiful ladies she is not “JEALOUS” “THREATNED” or any of the above, because she is comfortable with herself: and when you have that there is no need to be:

  44. LdyK

    I have always likes Sanaa! she’s my girl!

    her man aint half bad either

  45. reddnwood

    Sanaa is my girl no doubt & I’m glad things are going well with her relationship but I get tired of seeing her onscreen with white dudes! But as a matter of fact Matthew Brodderick’s wifey Sarah Jessica Parker used to be into & date bros in high school!

  46. kai

    @kzz that does not make her a girls girl, that just make her secure within. Her justification sound a lil bit lesbianish to me lol.


  47. did she get a nose job>? i never thought she was that pretty

  48. bootlegger

    slown news day bossip? *snoring*

  49. Ashley

    Um… i was never aware there were gay rumors about her. Only Bossip would ask her something as cr***** as that

  50. INOCENTbiSTANDR

    Ya’ll a trip! So what if she gay???? Who the hell cares??? She’s been in some great movies and she’s cute. Who gives a damn bout who she’s f***ing?? I most certainly don’t. Keep making movies girl

  51. sniper

    She was the best in Nip/Tuck,

    where she was with Julian McMahon

  52. Lady Architect

    Til You Do Right By Me….

    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. God forbid if the photogs ever catch her going to the movies with another female. They would say all kinds of lesbian things about her even if she was just hanging out with her best friend.

  53. meandonlyme

    she looks beautiful

  54. Suga Mo

    Bossip Do your homework before you “GUESS” who they talk ing about in thay story!!!! They not talking about Sanaa Lathan ( i dont know if Sanaa Lathan is gay) BUT I do know who they are talking about! THATS VIVICA FOX AND TAMALA JONES! Get it straight… they have been “best friends” for years!

    YAll are stupid

  55. Suga Mo

    LOL @ Yung Berg

    You ignorant….LOL

  56. bria

    Some of you people need some positivity in your life. So here goes. POSITIVITY. Feel it, live it, breath it, smell it, eat it, and finally think it. You will find that you might be happier people.

    POSITIVITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  57. Just Sit and Be Pretty

    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.

    This is sad on so many levels…SMH

  58. deafjam04

    Keep doing your thang Sanaa! Never mind the haters.

  59. ~*MahoganyGyrl*~

    @Just sit and be pretty:

    That’s messed up! Thanks for the update!

  60. Just Sit and Be Pretty

    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!!

    But ya know what, the Obamas are so cl*****y, they’ll probably

  61. Eye Candy

    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!

  62. Just Sit and Be Pretty

    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 embarr*****ing. 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 embarr*****ing afternoon back at the office because in no time, everybody heard about how badly I put my foot in my mouth.


  63. She’s a beautiful woman and a great actress. I’m sure she just hangs out with her girlfriends and there is nothing more to it.

  64. Sunshine305

    @ 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.


  65. ummm my gurl up the costarring in a new movie, A midnight wonderland with BEYONCE. Beyonce is the star of the movie about a struggling mother gets raped but her preacher and comes back to the town of atlanta to testify and has to relieve the that horrible night and face the town folk and family

  66. Just Sit and Be Pretty

    @Sunshine, wow, I think your story tops mine. :-) LMAO, thank God you left when you did, you might’ve ended up with terribly burnt hair and/or scalp.

  67. Sunshine305

    Bossip that was the worse interview ever, you let her skate over that interracial question and you forgot to ask her about her “midget thumbnails”


  68. Please. You know the people that think she’s gay only do it because they want to. There is nothing she could say or do to make them stop their stupid rumors. They prefer their ignorance.

  69. lanette

    who the hell said she was gay?? everybody is not gay ….

  70. Sunshine305

    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 “*****” or “black *****”?

    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 gl*****es 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?

  71. Sunshine305

    Wow i didnt know i had that in me!

  72. Sunshine305

    @ Angie,

    Did your new white husband insist you name your kids “Winthorp, Becky, Chase or hannah?

  73. Jody

    She looks good. I never put much into that gay stuff, not my business anyway. Black are uber homophobic though


  74. I love this woman. She’s one of the most underrated, under worked actresses. She’s beautiful, smart and cl*****y. Anything she’s in, I will watch. 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! She and Chewitel Ejiofar are my favorite black actors right now.

  75. 2cute4u

    LOL @ Sunshine 305! Damn Sunshine don’t you think thats a little harsh girl! Funny but harsh…Don’t get me wrong, I think people should marry for love, not color, but the questions are quite comical!

  76. De

    And the point of this is…

  77. DR.FUNK

    Serious crush on girlie.

  78. Whatever

    never heard of her

  79. Black Barbie

    Well, this is a “come up” for Sanaa…at least now they think she’s off Denzel’s tip.

  80. Catrice

    I thought that was a great interview you did with Sanaa Lathan. She is so underrated and I’m definitely going to check her upcoming projects. She just seems so real and down-to-earth.

  86. She really should be wearing a bra in that picture. I see droopage.

  87. Old School

    Big fan of Ms. Lathan. Looking forward to her new projects.

  88. Julien

    Actors and actresses crack me up. All of them say, “I’m not gay.” Especially black actors.


  89. Although I always pray that this is a rumor, I am inclined to *****ume 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 ***** and women who play the rolls of men.

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

    WE (Black folks) are nearly walking dead.


  90. TO: Black Republican (It’s So easy 2 Talk When U Aint Walking The Walk)……….

    Yeah Whatever Sanaa, Not gay my *****. 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 *****.

    Tell me the p*****age so I can go look it up.


  91. I NEVER PERSONALLY THOUGHT SHE WAZ A LEZBO SHE DOESNT SEEM SO……

  92. LILYU

    She looks SO beautiful. I saw her personals ID on wealthy men for beautiful women site “”"”"”"”"C e l e b C u p i d.c o m”"”"”"”"”"”" last week. It is said she is dating young billionaire on that site. Is she single now?

    Big fan. I have invited over 50.000 fans to free inter-racial dating site ‘ kissinterracial.com’ where you can try inter-racial kiss with sexy girls or see more…


  98. “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.

  109. why would anyone think she was gay

  110. thedayofplanner

    I agree why would ANYONE think she gay, some people don’t have anything to do but think up silly rumors like this…I love Mss Sanaa Lathan.. Do ur thing Girrl

  111. Thokozile

    Sanaa is beautiful talented and I am glad she is working steadily in this anti-Black female environment.. Go ‘head Sanaa.


  112. Ludacris-Theater Of The Mind in stores November 11th


  113. The woman is dirty. I saw her photo on a dating site —Cougarkiss.com, where the rich women seeking love with young handsome guy! And her profile says that she is looking for a sugarbaby, “A handsome collage guy would be the best”.

  114. Jody

    Sanaa was on Chelsea Lately September 4th and she cleared this whole thing up. She said that Bossip took an innocent photo of her and Regina Hall and ran with it. Regina was whispering something in her ear and Bossip thought is was a kiss. The lesbian kiss on Nip Tuck was just acting, okay. I think these black websites need to stop bashing our black celebrities. Why don’t you give them some positive feedback sometimes? Because the whites aren’t going to give them any kind of media coverage. Gays and lesbians are people too. I don’t agree with their lifestyle, but I don’t condome bashing them either.

    this piccture is fabulous check this Out.

  119. TheAncestors

    Let a sista just BE. Even if she was gay or bi or whatever let her just BE. A sista has a right to be WHATEVER she wants to be, she was born with that birthright.

    And to all you gay haters, especially the ones talking about gays going to hell, you are all full of shyt. Just ready to pounce on whomever you think is gay while you out there bein’ a ho, givin’ up the nana to any *****, gettin’ sistas pregnant and taking no responsibility, abusing, molestin’ . . . shame on you. You’ll be the doorman at hell’s gate.

  120. liyah

    damn yall need to get off her jock and let her do her. it aint nun of yall damn business if she gay or not. yall jus hatin cuz she got bank!!!!

  121. Denise

    How much lighter you want her to be and WHY? The girl’s family is multi racial, so somebody is white, Mom or Dad, get over it! Sheesh! Why do you have to be light to look beautiful, the girl is gorgeous, and most light people want to be DARK, like us, idiots!


  122. She’s beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!

  123. 2breal

    It’s a damn shame when we’ve come to this place where you even use the term “girlfriends” without being labeled gay. Black women originated the term “girlfriends” a.k.a sistah friends. Since when can’t a single black women have “girlfriends” without being *****umed gay. It’s ignorant, ignorant, IGNORANT! And what’s sad is is always comes from us… Black folks! We are always the first ones to destroy each other!. And then wanna blame White people. We’ve got some serious growing up to do my people!


  124. So waht is she’s gay, bi, or straight! She’s got her ***** together! She is constantly making movie’s and going straight to the bank!

    People, get a life and mind your own business!


  125. Why is it that anyone who has friends of the same sex have to be labeled as gay. This is something as black people that we need to stop!!

    More of our people need to learn how to be true friends who are loyal and respectful; rather than labeling each other and presenting ourselves as being ignorant!

    Just because she has friendships with women; and does not sleep around with every tom, *****, adn Harry does not mean that she desires to be a lesbian.

    There is a difference between loyal women frienships and lesbians!

    Come on ge your heads out of your ***** and grow up people!

    Let’s say something positive about each other, rather than tearing each other down!

  126. J. Reese

    You know, I’m really sick and tired of all of the attention that’s placed on gay people – and no, I’m not gay, I’m totally hetero. But if someone is gay, then someone is gay!!! Who the hell cares!

    It doesn’t make them any less of a human being. Maybe sum people wouldn’t keep it such a secret if it wasn’t such a stigma for others.


  127. I’ll tell you what i would put my ***** in her mouth then nut in her face and mouth. She’s only good for blow jobs she would suck your *****,eat your ***** out,lick the shaft up and down that’s gooooooooood.

  128. Coco

    Wooo, I wish she was gay;-)
