Transgender actress and activist Alexis Arquette Tuesday labelled Hollywood power couple Will and Jada Pinkett Smith ‘gay hypocrites’ in a Facebook post. A day before, Jada announced she was boycotting this year’s Oscars because of a lack of diversity in the nominations.
‘When Jada comes out as Gay and her beard husband admits his first marriage ended when she walked in to him **** servicing his Sugar Daddy Benny Medina ..then I will listen to them,’ writes Arquette.
Arquette later added in the comment section; ‘”She” being his FIRST wife. Paid off ,silent.’
Will’s first marriage to Sheree Zampino ended in divorce in 1995 and he married Jada two years later.
Born Robert Arquette, Alexis transitioned publicly to Alexis and even made a documentary about the experience. She is known for roles like that of a drag queen in the Adam Sandler film The Wedding Singer and the fact she is part of a dynasty – her sisters are Patricia and Rosanna and her brother is David – all actors
Arquette, whose sister Patricia won an Academy Award in 2014 for her performance in Boyhood, went on to write in her post; ‘Will threw a fit on the set of Six Degrees of Separation when he was required by the scene to kiss Anthony Rapp.
‘He persuaded the director to shoot the back of his head in frame. Blocking the non-existent lip lock entirely.
‘F*** him. Gays have enemies. They lurk in gilded closets. Outing is healthy. You are either with or against us. You decide. Today.’
Arquette later revealed in a comment on the post that she had audition for Rapp’s role in the film, noting that ‘it would have been a different story on set’ if she had been in the movie.
Arquette also said of her decision to speak out; ‘I used to think Michelangelo Signorile was wrong for outing. I’m completely for it now. Too many bullied teens dead.’
Signorile is a gay activist who has long been credited as a pioneer in outing celebrities and other famous individuals, most notably being the first to report that David Geffen and Liz Smith were homosexuals.
He also outed billionaire Malcom Forbes soon after his death. Will and Jada have not responded to Arquette’s allegations.
