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’.”
