Pride Month’s almost over, but some celebs are still finding ways to celebrate … with one former late-night host coming out before June turns to July!
Amber Ruffin — a writer on “Late Night with Seth Meyers” who hosted her own program “The Amber Ruffin Show” on Peacock — came out in an Instagram post Sunday in a move she wrote won’t shock a single damn person.
Alongside a pic of her in a tank top baring the word “Queer,” she added the caption, “I’m using the last day of PRIDE to come out! Be proud of who you are, little babies! I know I am! And I can’t wait to be discriminated against for a new reason!!”
She shared several other pics as well, all seemingly with the same intent behind them … Amber’s coming out loud and proud — and right under the wire for Pride 2024!
As you can imagine, she’s getting a ton of support in the comments from fans and famous friends alike … including “Wicked” star Cynthia Erivo who welcomed her with open arms into the gay community with a sweet and funny comment.
Sophia Bush, Faye Dunaway, “Queer Eye” star Tan France and a ton more notable names shouted out Ruffin … so, she’s got serious Hollywood heavyweights showing their love.
Ruffin hosted her self-titled show from 2020 until it was canceled in 2022. She was married to Dutch painter Jan Schiltmeijer for more than a decade though the two reportedly divorced last year.
In any case, seems like Amber’s ending Pride on a high … and, H’Wood’s gay community’s got her back.
