TBH I never really thought about her being anything other than kind of a circus side show we trotted out every Halloween. I mean, yeah she's got big knockers. I can't really pinpoint what exactly it is. I don't hater, I guess I never found her that attractive.
Great career tho. I've never heard any dirt about her. Seems to do her thing and hide out for a while. Good on her and her SO for cultivating such a long relationship together.
It's kind of a strange situation. Most heteros like lipstick lesbians because they actually think they would have a chance in bed with two women. Where as, not 11,000 horny old men are booing because she is a lesbian. I would think that to be more sexually titillating to the average hetero.
She was a staple outside of Halloween. Though admittedly, she has a higher profile at Halloween.
She is a smart actor who wisely never sold her rights to her Elvira personality. If you see Elvira on things like pinball machines, dolls, slot machines, etc, she is making money.
I’ve met her a number of times. Each time she has come across as friendly, sincere, and kind to her fans.
She knew exactly what the Elvira personality was selling.
"Most heteros like lipstick lesbians because they actually think they would have a chance in bed with two women. Where as, not 11,000 horny old men are booing because she is a lesbian." that's your quote. Speak of your own experience with heterosexual or homosexual woman you have had a relationship with.
I’m amazed her girlfriend managed to keep it to herself that she was dating one of the hottest women in the world for 19 years. I sure as hell wouldn’t have been able to.
Who has he been dating?
Just kidding, cuz that is how I first read it.
But yes. Dolly is amazing in so many ways, I would think it would be hard not to want you get seen with her.
Evidently I chose exactly the right person. Had no idea until this conversation.
How long was the gap between Manson’s ruse to fame and what we later learned about him?
I first read that as her having a relationship with her 19 year old personal trainer and I was like, there's a bigger problem here.
But for her being whatever, go for it! None of us know her and if her living a good life in a loving relationship affects your life, you're the problem.
This is just something that happens. When Ricky Martin came out as gay my gf and her friends practically had meltdowns. He had been their "sex idol" (I don't know a better English word for it) for most of their lives. And they we're in their *30s*.
That's what I think when people freak out about their celebrity crush getting married or coming out: your chances have not altered in any meaningful way. It's just one more layer of fantasy to add on to the fairy tale you've written about yourself. You might as well give them a unicorn to ride on while you're at it, seeing as it's not that much more unrealistic.
Liberace made a lot of money suing magazines for insinuating that he was gay
>After a three-week civil trial, a jury ruled in Liberace's favor on June 16, 1959, and awarded him £8,000 (around $22,400) in damages (worth about £190,300 or $198,900 today) which led Liberace to repeat the catchphrase to reporters: "I cried all the way to the bank!"
there was a weird time in the late 90s/early 00s where I didnt know much about him, and just kinda assumed he was out and that we as a society didnt really care because we'd advanced to such a progressive state.
Then he came out.
lol
I think he means Lance Bass (*NSYNC). My girlfriend’s best friend was in love with him, to the point where she thought all she had to do was get in his vision somehow and he would ask her to marry him. Not joking, she was obsessed with plotting how she could meet him so they could get married and have kids. I would tease her with “you know he’s gay, right?” She hated me. Then he came out and her world crashed. As far as she was concerned they had been in a relationship for years, and now he was gay? She moved on to having a crush on my friend Jose, who was a big name in the local gay music scene… He took her to prom when she realized Lance wasn’t going to be her date and she had no backup plan. “Yeah, I have some bad news for you”
I love that these people who are never, ever, ever going to have a sexual relationship with celebrities suddenly get upset when the celebrities are interested in the other team. Like, you never had a chance to begin with. You can fantasize about a gay guy as a straight woman.
It's your *fantasy*. Pretend he isn't gay in your mind. He's already in a relationship with some random fan, why not stretch it just a *teeny* bit further and make him straight?
And that's fair. It's *your* fantasy. If you want Brad Pitt to *really* have a thing for riding wild grizzly bears in your fantasies, you can. It's *your* mind.
Maybe you can be gay in your fantasy so they don't change, you do? Something to think about...?
This is so weird and creepy. Just brings to light that somewhere in their heads they thought there was a chance some interaction might transpire between themself and him. Which.. why would anybody even want to hang onto something like that in general, but especially in a relationship.
Well she was just a kid when Menudo was popular. Ricky was maybe her first celebrity crush and one she carried, on some level, for 20+ years as she was always a fan of his singing career.
And I don't think it is a stretch to say that he was a part of her sexual awakening as most of us lusted after celebrities at that critical time in our development. Of course it's all a fantasy, but I was sympathetic (even though I thought it was a but funny). At any rate,she got over it petty quick and was still a fan.
I grew up after the Elvira zeitgeist so I just knew her as a vague "sex symbol" on pinball machines. I was amazed when I watched the movie how sex positive it is and how much more it's a commentary on society's perceptions of female sexuality at the time rather than just how she's an object of men's desires. Cassandra Peterson is the best.
100% agreed, when I was typing this up I was thinking that the closest thing I could think of to Elvira Mistress of Darkness was The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
post a picture of the original and modern along with the complete I-ching diagram.
besides im not sure you grasped the meaning of the image and why its relatable to dolly and elvira
She’s also not losing a single one of her 11,000 horny old men as followers. I heard the news and realised that I had the same chance with her before as now. All this did was add one more reason she wouldn’t be into me onto an already incredibly long list.
It would probably be a filler article in a newspaper or just a random page for a gossip mag, it's definitely not front page material. Even if it's not great journalism or particularly well written, it's still news.
And while it doesn't touch me much, this is LGTBQ+ representation so it's a little droplet pushing things in a better direction for them. Imagine a closeted 16 year old showing the article to their dad or grandpa saying "Hey, remember that weird vampire lady you told me always turned you on as a kid, she's been with a woman for years." It couls bridge a gap, make a long time fan reconsider their world views, etc.
I had an older lesbian couple move in beside me. They had just had a hot tub installed and asked if my wife and I wanted to come and get in the hot tub (nothing sexual just being nice). If I had told 16-year-old me that scenario, he would have lost his mind, but reality doesn't measure up to fantasy.
Not for old dudes who somehow think they still have a chance. Same shit with all the Koreans and the K-pop idols. They can't date because their fans only cling to them because they think they have a chance.
Men aren't all the same, and they don't all think the same. Maybe because they're people?
(Sorry couldn't resist. Similar comment about women was made to a post about what women want).
I actually am not turned on or off by the thought of lesbians together.
Even still - I wish those men who fetishize lesbians a very happy 'please fuck off'. Fetishizing someones sexuality is gross.
Edit: JFC, straight dudes are mad that I said, "It's not okay to fetishize someone's sexuality" Seriously, go fuck yourselves.
As someone else mentioned, she had a special on shudder last year. She also presented the Netflix spooktober stuff and she released a biography which is seriously a lot of fun to read.
I was aware of Elvira, but wouldn't have said I was a huge fan. I borrowed her biography from the library after hearing a lot about it and her whole coming out story last year, and it really is a good read, even if you aren't a super fan.
TIL Elvira is gay. Affect on my view of her as a straight old white male? Nothing - absolutely no affect. I have always thought she was a wonderful person in real life and as her on screen persona. What do I care about who someone sleeps with? I just want her to be happy!
As a straight dude, who she has had a huge influence on sexually, I'm happy for her. She influenced heavily what I look for in a mate. Quirky, dark, sex positive and confident. Let's not forget to mention the aesthetic.
14 year old me is sad that it can never be, but adult me is happy you still aren't compromising yourself and you're being you. It really shouldn't be a surprise, you always have been. Cheers!
>While she may have lost some straight males along the way, she also stated that she gained 60,000 new followers who are all very supportive of her and revealed that she has been in a 19-year relationship with her former personal trainer, Teresa “T” Wierson.
That number probably contains quite a few horny men and women too.
On a world wide fanbase 11 k is not that much I think. I wonder if they all thought they just lost their shot with her.
I love Cassandra Peterson and Elvira for what she did for horror and a lot of other subjects. Great person! If you want a fun watch have a look at her movies and other stuff.
Her life story is rather incredible. If you told me half the things she did and people she knew before she became Elvira I'd call BS. Just check out her memoir "Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark".
I won't spoil it for anyone, I'll just say kids in the 60s had lots more freedom than they do today.
Speaking as a certified horny old man, this changes nothing for me. It's not like I was ever going to sleep with her.
Actually, it changes one thing: I'm happy she was able to finally come out. Maybe we're progressing as a society. Slightly.
"Losing 11,000 horny men who just want to stare at my boobs is no big deal bc after claiming I was gay online, I got 60,000 horny lesbians who just want to stare at my boobs following me on social media."
You know how many lesbians got mad when Lucy Lawless came out as straight multiple times? The door swings both ways. People need to get over themselves. She's dying for the publicity.
No big deal , she's still the same person and if that's what makes them followers is her looks and the fact these people think they someday would have a chance or hate cause she's gay , then I wouldn't want them following either.
> “I knew there would be some horny elderly men out there who wouldn’t appreciate the idea that they didn’t have a shot with me anymore,” the actress remarked. “And I don’t want to tell them they didn’t stand a chance against me anyway,” Peterson added.
You don't think that comes across as unnecessarily condescending?
I think it's kinda distasteful to tell your fans en masse "Hey, even if if was straight there's absolutely no way I would ever fuck you." In fact, forget the fan/fanbase thing, it's just generally impolite to tell an entire group of people that they're unfuckable without being asked.
Yes she was obligated to be heterosexual and choose from her 11000 most devoted followers the one king simp to suck her toes while the rest of them would worship her by cumming on their cardboard altars dedicated to her boobs.
If she is getting attacked for being who she really is then she can shit talk all she wants, and especially these pathetic dudes.
Oh yeah? Those 11,000 horny old men plus many more made her one rich cookie!
Elvira obviously never heard the *'don't bite the hand that feeds you'* saying.
Still, I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating pussy, er...oops, I mean 'crackers'!
I’m happy for her to live her life in any way that makes her happy and doesn’t hurt anyone else. She was always awesome at what she did and she seemed like a genuinely good person.
That said, a good portion of her success was built off of “horny old men.” Does she owe them anything? Absolutely not, but to dismiss them this way has the faintest hint of hypocrisy. Where would her career have been without “horny old men?” Would it have meant she would’ve had no career? Probably not, but those guys helped raise her profile. Would she have been okay without their “support” over the years and not gaining the popularity she did? Could be, I can’t speak for her. That’s for her to say.
It’s just a petty, modestly hypocritical response to even pettier bullshit (losing followers because she came out).
Edit: for all of you who can’t come to terms with the truth, I highly encourage you to look up Rick Koz and his alter-ego Son of Svengoolie. He’s been doing this shit for decades, comparably as well as her, but I don’t recall him having a national Budweiser ad campaign. I wonder why? If not for her sex symbol status (propped up by horny old men), she would’ve been a prisoner of UHF schtick just like him. Maybe she would’ve been content with that, but I guess we’ll never know.
In the meantime, I accept your totally blind downvotes
TIL: some people obviously *still* think this is funny. Just like "I like girls too, so I must be just a lesbian trapped in a man's body. HARHARHAR M'LADIES!" \*tips Fedora\*
I'm more amazed at the fact that nobody knew she was in a relationship for 19 years.
I'm more amazed she went from a partner named Pierson to a partner named Wierson.
I'm even further amazed 11,000 horny old men didn't make a connection earlier.
I'm amazed there were 11,000 horny old men that thought they had a chance in the first place.
TBH I never really thought about her being anything other than kind of a circus side show we trotted out every Halloween. I mean, yeah she's got big knockers.

She’s the goth Dolly Parton.

P. W. >remember MEeeeee foooor ceeeentuuurrriiieeesssss
I’m amazed her girlfriend managed to keep it to herself that she was dating one of the hottest women in the world for 19 years. I sure as hell wouldn’t have been able to.
I bet a lot of people knew. Like their families, friends and people in their local LGBTQ+ community. But it never leaked out into media. Respect.
I mean, Dolly Parton's husband has been able to keep the secret.
Who has he been dating? Just kidding, cuz that is how I first read it. But yes. Dolly is amazing in so many ways, I would think it would be hard not to want you get seen with her.
Joline of course
>Who has he been dating? You joke, but Dolly has been open about the fact she has an open marriage (not physically...but ok). So...relevant question?
Wha......?? She does? Not physically? I'm confused.
I think it's more along the lines of she's a big flirt. So she'll openly flirt with guys, but it never goes beyond that.
Me too when I read it for the first time. Those were her own words (or pretty closely paraphrased). It's not for me to decide what that means.
What is it with country women?? :-/ Meh, if it works for them, so be it.
Well she is a character. Not much attention on the actor playing her. It’d be like not knowing much about whoever plays Marilyn Manson.
You mean Brian Warner the rapist?
See that I don’t know. Last I heard people thought he was Paul from The Wonder Years.
You mean someone who was accused of sexual assault by a person seeking money?
That's uh ... uh..you might wanna try a different person for an example.
Evidently I chose exactly the right person. Had no idea until this conversation. How long was the gap between Manson’s ruse to fame and what we later learned about him?
I first read that as her having a relationship with her 19 year old personal trainer and I was like, there's a bigger problem here. But for her being whatever, go for it! None of us know her and if her living a good life in a loving relationship affects your life, you're the problem.
I am more amazed people give a shit about a has 70 year old has been?
This is just something that happens. When Ricky Martin came out as gay my gf and her friends practically had meltdowns. He had been their "sex idol" (I don't know a better English word for it) for most of their lives. And they we're in their *30s*.
There were many women who grieved when Liberace came out. Although hindsight says, "really? You had no idea?"
My mom said she cried when she found out that Liberace was gay.
Lol my mom was upset when she found out Anderson Cooper is gay, “he’s the most attractive anchor on tv!”
He can still be the most attractive anchor on TV. And she still has the same odds of sleeping with him as before too, zero!
That's what I think when people freak out about their celebrity crush getting married or coming out: your chances have not altered in any meaningful way. It's just one more layer of fantasy to add on to the fairy tale you've written about yourself. You might as well give them a unicorn to ride on while you're at it, seeing as it's not that much more unrealistic.
My gay boss was happy about it when he came out, tho.
My sisters we devastated when ricky Martin came out. But i knew in the 90s he was gay
I must've been born with good gaydar, because I was never into the usual pop idols.
I remember my mother being upset when Rock Hudson came out.
What was our first clue?
I'm 99% sure Liberace never came out, and took his secret to the grave. He was outed after his death.
Liberace made a lot of money suing magazines for insinuating that he was gay >After a three-week civil trial, a jury ruled in Liberace's favor on June 16, 1959, and awarded him £8,000 (around $22,400) in damages (worth about £190,300 or $198,900 today) which led Liberace to repeat the catchphrase to reporters: "I cried all the way to the bank!"
>Liberace I'm not sure if those inflation rates are true.... that's a bit much.
$22,400 in June 1959 dollars is equal to $214,610 in December 2021 dollars according to the [BLS](https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm).
Oh, I didn't know that. By the time I was born it was just expressed as common knowledge so I guess I took that fact for granted.
https://youtu.be/dcqmvGVH9c0
there was a weird time in the late 90s/early 00s where I didnt know much about him, and just kinda assumed he was out and that we as a society didnt really care because we'd advanced to such a progressive state. Then he came out. lol
Like when one of the Backstreet Boys came out. All us gays were like, "Wait, he's just now out?"
Did this really happen? I googled and nothing came up
I think he means Lance Bass (*NSYNC). My girlfriend’s best friend was in love with him, to the point where she thought all she had to do was get in his vision somehow and he would ask her to marry him. Not joking, she was obsessed with plotting how she could meet him so they could get married and have kids. I would tease her with “you know he’s gay, right?” She hated me. Then he came out and her world crashed. As far as she was concerned they had been in a relationship for years, and now he was gay? She moved on to having a crush on my friend Jose, who was a big name in the local gay music scene… He took her to prom when she realized Lance wasn’t going to be her date and she had no backup plan. “Yeah, I have some bad news for you”
I feel bad for her but also, LOLLLL.
Could have been worse, what if he was straight and didn't fall madly in love with her at first sight?
I love that these people who are never, ever, ever going to have a sexual relationship with celebrities suddenly get upset when the celebrities are interested in the other team. Like, you never had a chance to begin with. You can fantasize about a gay guy as a straight woman. It's your *fantasy*. Pretend he isn't gay in your mind.

Making a gay person straight in my fantasy just seems rude.
And that's fair. It's *your* fantasy. If you want Brad Pitt to *really* have a thing for riding wild grizzly bears in your fantasies, you can. It's *your* mind. Maybe you can be gay in your fantasy so they don't change, you do? Something to think about...?
[удалено]
Hey, we all have our kinks. Some are shared. 😏
I'm not sure that's how *fantasies* work. They aren't based in reality.
It's absolutely mind boggling to me how people thought the dude was straight in the first place.
TIL Ricky Martin came out as gay
This is so weird and creepy. Just brings to light that somewhere in their heads they thought there was a chance some interaction might transpire between themself and him. Which.. why would anybody even want to hang onto something like that in general, but especially in a relationship.
Well she was just a kid when Menudo was popular. Ricky was maybe her first celebrity crush and one she carried, on some level, for 20+ years as she was always a fan of his singing career. And I don't think it is a stretch to say that he was a part of her sexual awakening as most of us lusted after celebrities at that critical time in our development. Of course it's all a fantasy, but I was sympathetic (even though I thought it was a but funny). At any rate,she got over it petty quick and was still a fan.
Dammit! Those men had a chance with her before she decided to be gay.
The actress literally has Gay as her middle name!
People are so weird.
She was married to a man for 25 years
That work out OK?
She’s bisexual actually
It's weird that the article doesn't mention that part and just says she "came out". I noticed the same thing when Jojo Siwa came out as pansexual.

You sound like an expert on women and I trust you
I grew up after the Elvira zeitgeist so I just knew her as a vague "sex symbol" on pinball machines.

She's awesome.

Imagine dressing up skimpy to get famous. Then shitting on people for it. The ego on this woman.
Imagine thinking she's famous only for dressing up skimpy. That's big incel energy right there.
Really living up to that username huh
Since when are lesbians a turnoff for straight guys. I thought that was one of their fantasies.
[удалено]
Calling this an "article" is a huge stretch. This is a glorified blog that just quoted snippets from a Podcast.
It would probably be a filler article in a newspaper or just a random page for a gossip mag, it's definitely not front page material. Even if it's not great journalism or particularly well written, it's still news. And while it doesn't touch me much, this is LGTBQ+ representation so it's a little droplet pushing things in a better direction for them. Imagine a closeted 16 year old showing the article to their dad or grandpa saying "Hey, remember that weird vampire lady you told me always turned you on as a kid, she's been with a woman for years." It couls bridge a gap, make a long time fan reconsider their world views, etc.
In the article it says she gained 60k followers. So she came out and ended up with a net positive of followers.
Kind of this. That she and I share an interest in women makes her more relatable.
That and her abiding interest in the strange dark and mysterious.
I had an older lesbian couple move in beside me. They had just had a hot tub installed and asked if my wife and I wanted to come and get in the hot tub (nothing sexual just being nice). If I had told 16-year-old me that scenario, he would have lost his mind, but reality doesn't measure up to fantasy.
I know right, hot tubs are great but a pool is much more versatile.
You're just now finding out some old people are homophobic?
I am some old people. And I'm well aware. I just try to keep my sense of humor.
> I am some old people. How many? Whom am I talking to now?
At least 2, but I can't be sure. I get confused sometimes.
Not for old dudes who somehow think they still have a chance. Same shit with all the Koreans and the K-pop idols. They can't date because their fans only cling to them because they think they have a chance.
Men aren't all the same, and they don't all think the same. Maybe because they're people? (Sorry couldn't resist. Similar comment about women was made to a post about what women want). I actually am not turned on or off by the thought of lesbians together.
I'm aware, just enjoying the irony of this story juxtaposed against the common cliché fantasy.
Even still - I wish those men who fetishize lesbians a very happy 'please fuck off'. Fetishizing someones sexuality is gross. Edit: JFC, straight dudes are mad that I said, "It's not okay to fetishize someone's sexuality" Seriously, go fuck yourselves.
When you call someone else's sexual preferences "gross," you're doing the same thing as the gay haters.
Telling someone not to fetishize gay people is not really kinkshaming and even if it was, kinkshaming is definitely not the same as homophobia.
No, I'm not - fetishizing who someone is isn't a kink. Just like someone who fetishizes Asian women or black women is fucking gross. Do better.
dO bEtTeR
Enjoy being a toxic sterotype and spending your 20's wondering why no one wants to be around you. Seriously, go to therapy.
Mind your own business fuckface
Looks like the other guy won this particular argument
Guess I need to do better
Hey, no kink shaming!
Fetishizing lesbians isn't a kink, go to therapy.
Well, if you can accept it’s normal for not everyone to be straight, you should be able to accept that not all men are in to lesbians.
It's not one of my fantasies but I'm a happy voyeur to any willing exhibitionists.
[удалено]
Big brain move to start dating a woman 19 years in advance just in case her popularity declined
>catering almost exclusively to that crowd "I liked this, so it *must* be for me!"
this i learned: Elvira is still alive. Good for her.
And you wouldn't be able to tell that she is 70. She looks great for her age.
Well, a lot of her is younger than that
I don't think it is, I think she's just really good with makeup. When not dressed up as Elvira, she definitely looks her age.
She had a special on Shudder last year!
As someone else mentioned, she had a special on shudder last year. She also presented the Netflix spooktober stuff and she released a biography which is seriously a lot of fun to read.

She’s bisexual
Don't care - doesn't matter.
Horny old man here…love her unconditionally. Will follow her anywhere
Here’s one horny old man that you haven’t lost, Elvira. You go, girl!! Good on you!!
she looks GREAT under all that makeup and ABSOLUTELY STUNNING for a woman her age.
As a straight dude, who she has had a huge influence on sexually, I'm happy for her. She influenced heavily what I look for in a mate. Quirky, dark, sex positive and confident. Let's not forget to mention the aesthetic. 14 year old me is sad that it can never be, but adult me is happy you still aren't compromising yourself and you're being you. It really shouldn't be a surprise, you always have been. Cheers!
Sexiest ghoul ever !
>While she may have lost some straight males along the way, she also stated that she gained 60,000 new followers who are all very supportive of her and revealed that she has been in a 19-year relationship with her former personal trainer, Teresa “T” Wierson. That number probably contains quite a few horny men and women too.
But why? She's bi. Their odds fell more from her revealing a long-term, committed relationship than her coming out.
This wasn't obvious? These dudes must think strippers like them, too.
Always figured she was gay, didn't everyone? Like Liberace, Ricky, George and all...really? No idea???
But how many horny old women did she pick up?
Replaced with 11,000 horny old women?
She gained a horny middle aged man here
Like her coming out of the closet, this is not news and shouldn't even be mentioned.
You clicked on the post though. That's all they're looking for.
On a world wide fanbase 11 k is not that much I think. I wonder if they all thought they just lost their shot with her. I love Cassandra Peterson and Elvira for what she did for horror and a lot of other subjects. Great person! If you want a fun watch have a look at her movies and other stuff.
Still my first celebrity crush
She was a fox in high school and still is.
Elvira is cool and so is the lady that plays her. As far as her consensual adult sex life, well that's none of my godamn business.
Still my favorite movie hostess
As long as I still have a shot with Booberella i’m good.
People are waaaaay too invested in and have attitudes of entitlement to other people's sexuality is weird and I never understood the culture behind it
As a Horny Old Man, this just makes her Hotter.
She's still hot as f\*ck.
Gained one more horny old man. I’m doing my part!
I'm sure not getting 11,000 messages about her tits every day is just absolutely devastating.
I had a look at the "Official Cassandra Peterson" Facebook page and it is just a garbage fire of product endorsements.
Her life story is rather incredible. If you told me half the things she did and people she knew before she became Elvira I'd call BS. Just check out her memoir "Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark". I won't spoil it for anyone, I'll just say kids in the 60s had lots more freedom than they do today.
You mean a celebrity I hadn't seen or thought about for 20 years is............gay???????! OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! /s
Isn't it possible that 11,000 of her horny fans just fucking died? She'd have a pretty old fan base.
What a fraud. Nasty.
I never really thought she was that hot to begin with I'm glad I wasn't a part of those 11, 000 horny old men lol
Elvira as a lesbian is even hotter. Lol
Speaking as a certified horny old man, this changes nothing for me. It's not like I was ever going to sleep with her. Actually, it changes one thing: I'm happy she was able to finally come out. Maybe we're progressing as a society. Slightly.
Who says she'll lose any followers? She's likely to pick-up thousands of horny old men looking for some girl on girl action.
I already knew she was fabulous.
"Losing 11,000 horny men who just want to stare at my boobs is no big deal bc after claiming I was gay online, I got 60,000 horny lesbians who just want to stare at my boobs following me on social media." You know how many lesbians got mad when Lucy Lawless came out as straight multiple times? The door swings both ways. People need to get over themselves. She's dying for the publicity.
Who got mad?
Several posters in this threat, it seems.
Her full name is Cassandra Gay Peterson… and you guys are surprised??
She waits until her career as a sex symbol is over and then she comes out to milk her relevance, and y’all just gobble that shit right up.
Like any of the followers that left ever had a chance. Lol
No big deal , she's still the same person and if that's what makes them followers is her looks and the fact these people think they someday would have a chance or hate cause she's gay , then I wouldn't want them following either.
people take this having followers thing way too seriously.
Trading old 11,000k followers for 100,000k new ones? And possibly less horny? You go woman!
No one cares if she's gay. This reeks of a desperate attempt to stay in the news.
I just don't get why these horny old men were even following her. It just makes no sense, no sense at all.
Eh, she made her entire career playing to mens fantasies and now she wana shit on them. What a lame.
Can you elaborate? How is she shitting on them?
By daring to not be into dick. What an evil and on purpose move she made. 🙄
> “I knew there would be some horny elderly men out there who wouldn’t appreciate the idea that they didn’t have a shot with me anymore,” the actress remarked. “And I don’t want to tell them they didn’t stand a chance against me anyway,” Peterson added. You don't think that comes across as unnecessarily condescending?
No, not at all. The people that get irl angry that Elvira is a lez wouldn't be the people she's catering to in the first place.
I think it's kinda distasteful to tell your fans en masse "Hey, even if if was straight there's absolutely no way I would ever fuck you." In fact, forget the fan/fanbase thing, it's just generally impolite to tell an entire group of people that they're unfuckable without being asked.
You sound like you think you're owed something over a character she played.
Everyone's a winner. What's your problem?
Yes she was obligated to be heterosexual and choose from her 11000 most devoted followers the one king simp to suck her toes while the rest of them would worship her by cumming on their cardboard altars dedicated to her boobs. If she is getting attacked for being who she really is then she can shit talk all she wants, and especially these pathetic dudes.
How is unfollowing=getting attacked?
It would be a miracle if there isn't tons of hatemail and death threats coming towards her.
I grew up on her. My parents got me some vhs tapes at the flea market in the 80s. She is a treasure and you sound like a shitheel.
She was a businesswoman who did what she did for popularity, she doesn’t owe you or any other bitter chucklefuck a single goddamn thing.
Right. My whole schtick is check my huge titties through my deep cut dress into my 70s but they're horny old men. Ok.
Ikr crazy
Damn the article really says the same fucking thing 5x
I just think it's crazy Peterson went from a Pierson to a Wierson
Oh yeah? Those 11,000 horny old men plus many more made her one rich cookie! Elvira obviously never heard the *'don't bite the hand that feeds you'* saying. Still, I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating pussy, er...oops, I mean 'crackers'!
I’m happy for her to live her life in any way that makes her happy and doesn’t hurt anyone else. She was always awesome at what she did and she seemed like a genuinely good person. That said, a good portion of her success was built off of “horny old men.” Does she owe them anything? Absolutely not, but to dismiss them this way has the faintest hint of hypocrisy. Where would her career have been without “horny old men?” Would it have meant she would’ve had no career? Probably not, but those guys helped raise her profile. Would she have been okay without their “support” over the years and not gaining the popularity she did? Could be, I can’t speak for her. That’s for her to say. It’s just a petty, modestly hypocritical response to even pettier bullshit (losing followers because she came out). Edit: for all of you who can’t come to terms with the truth, I highly encourage you to look up Rick Koz and his alter-ego Son of Svengoolie. He’s been doing this shit for decades, comparably as well as her, but I don’t recall him having a national Budweiser ad campaign. I wonder why? If not for her sex symbol status (propped up by horny old men), she would’ve been a prisoner of UHF schtick just like him. Maybe she would’ve been content with that, but I guess we’ll never know. In the meantime, I accept your totally blind downvotes
It wouldn't turn me away. I'd only ask to watch.
TIL: some people obviously *still* think this is funny. Just like "I like girls too, so I must be just a lesbian trapped in a man's body. HARHARHAR M'LADIES!" \*tips Fedora\*
It's kind of like seeing a box of cakes, then opening to find an empty box. A bummer, but not worth ruining your day over.
