Emmy-nominated TV star accidentally “comes out” on National Coming Out Day, apologizes for mixup
Out For Good series, and—for a little while there—we thought we had one more celebrity to add to our ranks!But forgive us for forgetting that sometimes “coming out” doesn’t always mean “out of the closet.”The star in question is the fabulous Allison Tolman, an actress best known for her Emmy-nominated work in the first season of FX’s Fargo, and the second season of Marc Cherry’s dark Paramount+ drama Why Women Kill.Related: LGBTQ staff at White House post photo to mark National Coming Out DayThis past Tuesday—October 11—Tolman posted two photos with a woman named Kate.
The pair looked happy (joyful, even!) with drinks in hand. Now, sweet photos like these, you might just tap a quick “like” and keep scrolling, but it was Tolman’s caption that stopped us in our tracks:“We’re doing it we did it we’re together we’re out!,” she wrote.Together?
Out? On National Coming Out Day?? The post had us jumping for joy: “Welcome to the family, Allison!,” we thought. We had no reason to believe otherwise!
