Survivor winners Parvati Shallow and Erika Casupanan come out as queer
Survivor stars Erika Casupanan and Parvati Shallow have come out as part of the LGBTQ+ community. On 30 December, the two popular reality TV stars surprised fans when they shared a major life update regarding their sexuality.
In a throwback video to her Instagram grid, Casupanan reflected on a New Year’s Eve tradition she took part in in 2022 – which was supposed to get her a boyfriend in 2023.
However, instead of finding a new man, the Survivor season 41 winner discovered her queer identity. “Throwback to last New Year’s Eve when I tried to do the “eat grapes while sitting under a table at midnight and you’ll be get a boyfriend by the end of the year,” her video text read. “But I didn’t have grapes, so I chugged wine, and instead, that year, I realized I’m a lesbian.
Close enough, right?” Casupanan also poked fun at her socks in the video, which she said was the first clue to her lesbian identity. “I was wearing rainbow socks what did I expect?” her caption read.
