Michelle
Rodriguez hits back at Curve magazine

Michelle Rodriguez (Lost, Girlfight) criticized lesbian magazine Curve on her Web site forum this week for outing her in this month's issue. Rodriguez is on the magazine's cover and says she "wasn't informed of it" and "had no idea they were using my image to sell magazines."

Actress and Advocate cover girl Kristanna Loken revealed to The Advocate last November that she and Rodriguez were intimate, but Rodriguez herself has been mum on the subject.

"As far as rumors go of me coming out, I guess Curve magazine took it upon themselves to out me on the premise of their own suspicions." Rodriguez wrote. "Whatever, I'm not insulted, I have a big lesbian following, and for whatever reasons they show me love I'm never going to shun, disrespect or neglect anybody who shows me genuine non-psychotic Love.... But I will Say this, to put words in someone's mouth and place people in categories affects them for sure, especially in this business."

She also notes, "If I were Ellen, I may get away with 'The I'm Gay' level of exposure, but I'm not a comedian, I like men; (real ones anyway) and I've only bin in this business for 7 years not 20. Years of recognition can give a person lots of leverage especially if you have many years of positive recognition under your belt. There are certain things that can close doors between a celebrity and certain audiences. Especially in a world where walls are constantly being put up by people seeking comfort and groups to belong to." (The Advocate)
