Anne with an E fans rejoiced as Amybeth McNulty, who portrayed the show’s main character, “accidentally” came out midway through Pride Month.
In a tweet, posted on 17 June, she simply wrote: “Well, I think I just accidentally came out hahaha happy pride month lovelies.” Fans were confused about the word ‘accidentally’ but found on the same day she’d liked a tweet saying: “AMYBETH MCNULTY IS BI AS HELL.” In the tweet, the actress was draped in a rainbow flag, presumably at a Pride march.
However, Amybeth didn’t confirm whether she identified as bisexual, or if she was elsewhere on the spectrum. Nonetheless, fans were enthused by the news, with over 95,000 people liking the tweet so far.
