She was not, and Eminem is not really gay.
Still, with more than 200,000 web viewers having watched The Interview for free online and counting upward – as reported by the Inquisitr – and articles like Eminem Comes Out As Gay In 'The Interview' (VIDEO) from the Huffington Post going viral, as witnessed by its presence on the 'What's Hot' list provided by Amazon, there's no doubt a growing subset of people who are Googling and asking, 'Is Eminem really gay?'Īlas, subtle satire can be a hard thing to pull off – done beautifully at times by websites like The Onion, the selfsame ones who leave Googlers years later asking if gymnast Shawn Johnson was really euthanized or not. While watching the humorously underplayed scene in The Interview wherein Eminem so casually comes out to James Franco's talk show host character as gay, this reporter had to remind herself that although I was watching Eminem play himself in The Interview – fully going by the name Eminem in the movie – that Eminem was still spoofing himself as a hardcore, homophobic rapper who comes out as gay in the ultimate ironic situation.
