Elvira, “Queen of Darkness,” says she’s gay because of her long-standing relationship with women | Entertainment News – Pennsylvanianewstoday.com
The famous “Mistress of the Dark” Elvira shared that she identified her as a member of the LGBTQ + community.
Born as Cassandra Peterson, the actress shared her love story in her new autobiography, “Your Cruel Elvira.”
Peterson writes that he was a new mom who tried to return to his baby’s predecessor at Gold’s Gym in Hollywood decades ago. The hat was pulled so low over his long brown hair that it almost covered his eyes. “
“Dark and gloomy, as he crossed the floor of a huge gymnasium, the water split and gave off enough energy to stop by a truck for people to stare at,” she writes. “A typical sexy bad boy, he didn’t realize he was as charismatic as he won his own informal fan club.”
It turns out that the “Sexy Bad Boy” was actually Teresa “T” Weirson.
Peterson married her manager, Mark Pearson, at the time, she shared her son, and she and Weirson became friends.
The friendship became romantic after Peterson and her husband split and Weirson moved with Peterson and her son after a fresh and out-of-the-way rehab from her own relationship.
After a night out, Peterson wrote, she felt she had to kiss Wireson, very much to their surprise.
“I’ve never been interested in women except my friends. I felt very confused,” writes Peterson. “This wasn’t me! I was surprised that I had been friends with her for years and didn’t notice our chemistry.”
Her Elvira brand was so tied to being a sexy seducer for men that Peterson was worried that exposing her relationship would damage her brand. I need to live with myself and at this point in my life I have to be honest about who I am. “
“For the first time in my life, I’m with someone who makes me feel safe, blessed, and truly loved,” she writes.
