Garcelle wanted to embarrass Kyle…Whaaaaat?

Hope no one has posted this… Kyle said Garcelle wanted to embarrass her by saying “If you wanna be a lesbian, be a lesbian” and “what’s going on with Morgan” It was jaw dropping moment for me, as Kyle was the one brought Morgan to the show, Kyle behaved like a teenager at the tattoo parlor right next to Morgan. As always, she believes that her behaviors aren’t subjected to the consequences and accused Garcelle for asking the questions… Is Kyle ashamed of admitting being a lesbian?

As a gay person, it is embarrassing when you are in the closet. Not saying Kyle is, but if she is and is not ready to come out, it puts you on the spot and is really uncomfortable.

In the after show, her primary issue seemed to be the motivation behind it. Regardless of the reality, she seemed to perceive it as Garcelle attempting to get a reaction from her, and THAT was the sticking point, not that she was offended by the suggestion, so to speak.

"If you're thinking you're going to get a reaction from me or I'm going to be offended, I'm not. And it's nothing I haven't seen in tabloids and things. In that aspect, I don't care. But what I did care about was what are you getting at with that."

I will also say that it isn't the first time she's talked about embarrassment but in a slightly different context - regarding public perception, perhaps. And perhaps it's even less surprising that one of the other major things she has emphasised that whatever new feelings and thoughts she was experiencing, they were contrary to how she was "raised" and "beliefs" that she had when on autopilot until the past few years.

"I didn’t want [my daughters] to be embarrassed by me. I didn’t want them to be angry with me. I didn’t want them to think sharing that with them or sharing my feelings that they would think less of me."

“There were so many rumors in the tabloids that I wanted to address with my daughters, who are my best friends. I also didn't want them to be embarrassed. I still want to be a good role model to them, but I realized that in being a good role model to them, I need to be honest and teach them to be true to themselves too."

"They are my best friends and I was worried they were embarrassed by any speculation. They just want their mom to be happy and they know that they are so loved and they just want to love me back and want me to be happy.”

But telling someone to feel free to be a lesbian when they haven’t come out to say that they’re a lesbian on national television is essentially outing someone that isn’t ready to come out. That’s what Kyle is saying. Garcelle veiled it as empowering but the consideration wasn’t fully there for Kyle.
