Bridgerton star declares she's 'in love with a woman' in powerful Pride statement
Bridgerton actress Jessica Madsen has revealed that she is bisexual and happily loved-up with a woman. She released a heartfelt message on Instagram to coincide with the start of Pride Month.
With an array of LGBTQ+ art, images from a protest, and a personal GIF showing her wearing rainbow gems beneath her eyes decorating her feed, she loudly and proudly proclaimed: "In Love with a woman, loud about it and proud about it! #pride #pridemonth #loveislove #gaypride." Jessica, who plays the snooty but endearing Cressida Cowper, also broadcast her firm boundaries to any anti-LGBTQ+ folk on her Instagram story, stating emphatically: "News flash: I'm queer" and "Don't interact with me in June unless this is the vibe you're bringing." Her Bridgerton buddies were quick to cheer her on in the comments section, with Hannah Dodd (who has taken over the role of Francesca Bridgerton) chiming in: "Love youuuuuu," accompanied by a yellow heart.
Jonathan Bailey joined in with a red heart and raised hands emojis, while Nicola Coughlan sent a flurry of twinkling pink hearts Jessica's way.
Jessica's moving revelation of dating a woman follows her recent admission about some rather peculiar private messages she's received regarding her Bridgerton alter ego.
