Real Housewives of Atlanta star Cynthia Bailey praises sexually-fluid daughter Noelle for coming out
CYNTHIA Bailey has praised her daughter Noelle for coming out as sexually-fluid.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star spoke out to praise her daughter for coming out earlier this week on Instagram.
She told People TV: "She didn't know how she was going to be received. I mean, first of all, she didn't know that it was going to go viral. She probably got, like, 15K followers that night.
"And I don't even want to talk about her DMs! Let's just say her community has received her, and they support her
"As soon as I knew this was a life choice and this is who she was, I was like, 'You tell your own story, that way you don't have to worry about anyone else telling it for you'."
She added: "You know, in the times we live in, people have their camera phones and I would hate for someone to video her with one of her little friends and then put it out there, because what happens when you're on a reality show is if it's out there before you put it out there, it’s like a secret that we've had, that we were trying to hide something."
Noelle added her own thanks to fans after the positive reaction she received to her coming out.
She posted on Instagram: ";Trust me it was not easy.
"I feel so blessed to have family and friends that have allowed me to be myself, and have encouraged me to share my truth with the world.
"Thank you to those who have given me the space to be who I am, and still love me regardless. If only one person was inspired to live in their truth because of me opening up about mine, it was all worth it.
