Is Regina King just mad because Rutina Wesley is a lesbian?
Some of you may be aware of the minor incident involving one of my favorite actresses, the lovely Regina King, who was confused for ‘True Blood’ actress Rutina Wesley, whose show was nominated for an Emmy.
King was so offended that she fired off an open letter blasting the Emmy people. But was Regina really upset because she was confused for Rutina who is rumored to be a lesbian?
I mean, lesbun or not, who wouldn’t want to be confused for Rutina? She is gorgeous! But so is Regina. Even with their masculine builds, they are both beautiful in their own right. But one can easily see why they would be confused for each other.
Rutina was a gust on today’s edition of ‘The Wendy Williams Show’, where she chatted with Wendy about her role on HBO hit-series ‘True Blood’ and about the identity mix-up at this year’s Emmy-awards.
Rutina commented: “It’s funny to me that we would be mixed up, as we look nothing alike. It’s a Hollywood thing, though, and people need to be very careful of that.” Wendy added: “We as black people say ‘we don’t all look alike’.”

I like Rutina and perhaps Regina was more miffed that she wasn’t nominated…
I didnt see the “mixup”. What went down? Did the camera zoom in on Regina when Rutina was nominated or something? Please explain…..
I LOVE Rutinas character on TrueBlood. She kept me laughing the entire first season.
Here you go with the gayshyt…
No Regina is pissed off that she has been in the game since she was a child and these white folks up here confusing her with some other broad.
I aint even famous and I dont like when somebody try to confuse me with someone else. Shyt, just ask my name if you dont know. No I dont look like so and so.
If just goes to show you that they still think all black folks look alike. How they just gone ASSUME who she is? That’s dumb af. These women do not look alike. Gay or no gay.
Id be pissed too and not cause she’s a lesbian. Regina has been acting for far too long for them to confuse her with someone else. That was someone not on their job or who simply didn’t care to take the time to properly identify them. Hell they know every one of these start up reality white chicks but you don’t know the difference between a woman who’s been working over 20 years and a woman on a hit show? No excuse
Well we all do look alike sooo…#sarcasm
im just amazed she looks 50x better than she looks on the show

Rutina a rumored lesbian? I thought she was married to a white man?

Hahahaha!!
I’d be pissed if I had over 20years in the industry & was confused with some other chick too. Brenda has put in work in Hollywood, by now they should recognize her.
now Auntie you know good and well Regina isn’t salty because of someone being a lesbun…shes mad cause she didn’t get respect or nominated. Why does it always have to be about someone’s sexuality!
Wow…it had to be someone new on the job that only knows what is “popular” at the moment. I bet if it was a seasoned person on the job that mix up wouldn’t have happened
I mean hasn’t Regina been nominated if not she has a great career so nothing to be mad about-if anything give the sista love cuz she’s great at her art as well
I love Tara!!!
I don’t think Regina was mad because she was confused for Tara but like everyone else said she’s been doing this for her entire adult life and then some.
She has paid her dues and should not be mistaken for anyone who is fairly new to the game compared to her.
she married to a white dude…
She is married to a white guy. She is NOT a lesbian.
She was mad because all Black people don look alike.. they should know who Rutina Wesley, being she was nominated for a emmy and all- I feel Regina!
as others already said, she’s married
i love rutina! she gets a bad rep because they make her look less pretty for the show but she’s so gorgeous! regina isn’t cute to me at all. sorry
The multi-talented Mrs.Rutina is married to Jacob Fishel. She amazed me in her lead role in the feature film “How she move”.

never heard of rutina, but she’s very photogenic. i dont watch true blood, so there it is.
i dont believe regina would be offended for not getting nominated, i mean look at her, she has been here and holding her own for more than 20 years. seriously. i hope there’s no friction tween the two after the media plays this up.
rutina looked bootiful at the emmys.. these gals work very hard to look this so called “masculine”.. it doesnt come natural. they have fierce work out routine…
I’m sure she doesn’t care about her sexuality. I’d be peeved too if I were her. They should do a better job than that.
Regina King is one of my favorite actors. She has every right to be pissed off… All black people do not look alike. And she is not a lesbun either. Last I heard she was dating Theo from the Cosby show.
I thought she was married to a white guy .
I’d be pissed if I had over 20years in the industry & was confused with some other chick too. Brenda has put in work in Hollywood, by now they should recognize her.

did chu just call her brenda?
i missed’d you karaZ!!!!!
This is one of the most misleading and careless headlines I’ve ever read.
SMH at Sandra. Rutina is married to a White man. I believe he is an actor as well.
DAMN Hollyweird is just F-ing up OUR Black Females… They EITHER Crack-Head SKINNY, Exclusively date YT Males, Plastic Surgery REJECTS or Masculine LQQKING as All Get-Up
@point
I don’t know SHYT about True Blood either
WHADDUP @KaraZ !!!!!
I can’t stand Tara’s typical character on True Blood but I love the show. As most others said Reginas been in the game too long to be mistaken for someone else. That was someone not on their job.
ppl make mistakes all the time.. geesh!
that is messed up they would never mix up julia with sandra bullock
Regina has definitely paid her dues!!
I didn’t see / read about any mix-up…what happened?
How did it actually go down? Did they call Rutina, Regina or Regina, Rutina? Did they show the face with the wrong name?
She is not a lesbian, she is actually married and down w/ the swirl…
Regina has been acting for years and is always a scene stealer! It is insulting because the ladies do not favor each other.
Maybe it was the names that got confused or something…
And Regina was also pissed because Alaina Reed was left off the memoriam reel. Not only did Alaina play Rose on 227, but she was on Sesame Street for years. Sesame Street is an American institution that many of the actors watched as kids.
I think Regina is getting fed up with the BS!
oh well……..i dont see why her sexuality is relevant though.
Regina really is a scene stealer. Remember when she finished Ice Cube’s 40 in Boyz n the Hood!!! Hilarious!!
lmao at SR trying to make rutina a lesbian.
Those muscles are killin me…how thats considered sexy is beyond me!
