Evan Rachel Wood, a co-star on the HBO
supernatural series True Blood, on Thursday explained on
Twitter that she was joking when she suggested that Miley Cyrus might
be leaning gay.
After Cyrus, a strong supporter of gay
rights, posted pictures of her new pixie haircut, Wood tweeted: “I
called it! Miley cyrus is leaning toward gay!”
Wood, who
came out bisexual last year, was criticized for the comment.
“I myself am bisexual and have always
'joked' about miley giving me gay vibes. Not a bad thing! Just an
observation … So I 'joked' when she cut her hair that it supported
my case. But I am not so close minded or into stereotypes or
labeling. It was a joke,” she tweeted to her more than 83,000
followers.
The 24-year-old Wood added: “I could
care less what gender she was attracted to. But dont hate me for
supporting her in whatever She chooses. Its all fine by me.”
Cyrus, 19, responded with:
“@evanrachelwood well said!”
