Queen Latifah Speaks Out on Gay Rumors

Stars Show Support for Jennifer Hudson
Queen Latifah says she doesn't discuss her private life or her sexuality. "I don't feel like I need to share my personal life, and I don't care if people think I'm gay or not."

She told Alex Witchel of the New York Times, "Assume whatever you want. You do it anyway."

When asked about the rumors of a supposed romance with her personal trainer, Queen responded, "I don't have a problem discussing the topic of somebody being gay, but I do have a problem discussing my personal life. You don't get that part of me. Sorry. We're not discussing it in our meetings; we're not discussing it at Cover Girl."

The singer-actress currently stars in 'The Secret Life of Bees' that hits theaters October 17th.
