On Monday, Madonna posted a TikTok that raised some eyebrows. In the video, the singer appeared to come out. Many online were shocked, but there was one queer icon who wasn’t exactly that surprised by the possible revelation: Cassandra Peterson aka Elvira.
TMZ stopped Peterson to get her comment on Madonna’s video and, as it turns out, she had some tea to spill. “Wow, well I can tell you something interesting,” she teased. “Madonna hit on my girlfriend!”
Peterson is referring to her partner of two decades, T. Wierson, who Peterson first met while working out at Gold’s Gym, where Wierson worked as a trainer. Peterson shared their love story in her memoir Yours Cruelly, Elvira.
“Yes! She wanted to hire her as a trainer, but it was obvious that she wanted more than, um, training,” she said with a laugh. “I’ll just say that it was a long time ago.”
“But I think that Madonna has always said she’s pretty fluid. I mean, what, she kissed Britney Spears,” Peterson added.
She also offered some advice to queer folks who, like her, chose to come out later in life. “Don’t feel pressured to do it, you know? It’s good to come out and I think you’ll feel better when you do, but I don’t think there’s a right time for people to do it,” she shared.
“I can guarantee you one thing,” she continued. “When you do, you’re gonna really feel so much better, like a giant weight lifted off your chest, and I already had too much weight on my chest so it was good to get it off there.”
Madonna has yet to comment on the video she posted over the weekend. However, fans continue to speculate, celebrate, and even criticize the move online. The video currently has more than 1.7 Million likes and over 81,000 shares. No question Madge still knows how to cause a stir.
