“It’s also scary as an actor to openly admit your sexuality, especially when you’re already a brown female in your thirties,” she continued. “This is absolutely not how I wanted it to come out.”Legendary. The show will feature well known ballroom competitors, highlighting the underground, queer subculture. Many objected to Jameela's inclusion in the show, since she seemingly has no history with or connection to the culture. On social media, many said it would have been better for someone in the LGBTQ community who is familiar with the art form appear on the show.
