Excerpts from an upcoming memoir by The Umbrella Academy actor Elliot Page have revealed the Juno star allegedly received a rape threat from an “acquaintance” at a Los Angeles party – six years before they came out as transgender. Page came out as gay in 2014, but in a section of the book seen and shared by People, the 36-year-old details an incident at a birthday party two months later in which the unnamed individual claimed, “you aren’t gay – that doesn’t exist” and that the Canadian was “just afraid of men”. The chapter, titled “Famous A**hole at Party”, goes on to add the male then reportedly told Page: “I’m going to f*** you to make you realise you aren’t gay.” Despite the threat of ‘corrective rape’ – a hate crime where the abuser seeks to change or ‘cure’ a person’s sexuality, often to heterosexuality – the anonymous actor apparently told Page at the gym, where they saw each other again a few days later, that they “don’t have a problem with gay people, I swear.” “I think you might,” Page replied. Expanding on the situation, Page told People he’s had “some version” of the incident “happen many times throughout my life”.

These moments that we often like don’t talk about or we’re supposed to just brush off, when actually it’s very awful. “I put that story in the book because it’s about highlighting the reality, the s*** we deal with and what gets sent to us constantly – particularly in environments that are predominantly cis and heterosexual. “How we navigate that world where you either have more extreme, overt moments like that, or you have the more, like, subtle jokes. [In Hollywood] these are very powerful people – they’re the ones choosing what stories are being told and creating content for people to see all around the world,” they said. Page added that although he’s “purposely” not sharing the name of the individual, the person “will hear about this and know it’s him”, and there were others who saw and heard what happened at the party.

Months of speculation over Kanye West’s relationship status have been put to bed thanks to a fruitlessly flirtatious TikTok encounter. A content creator called Nue filmed himself having a conversation with a “sexy” bleach-blonde woman while out shopping. He wrapped up their encounter by asking for her number, to which she replied: “I’m married!” This may sound like a pretty conclusive end to the story, but it was only the beginning of a social media feeding frenzy. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter You see, the woman turned out to be none other than Ye’s latest love interest Bianca Censori. @gratefulboynuee Yea Married To Kanye ? #fyp #omg #beauty #ye #foryou #rizz #famous #trending Censori, 28, is the head of architecture for the Yeezy brand and has been linked to the disgraced rapper since January. Sources told DailyMail.com at the time that Kanye, 45, had secretly married the model and designer in an intimate ceremony. And an insider told The US Sun that they’d exchanged vows at the $5,000-a-night Amangiri Resort in Utah. However, the paper confirmed that the pair hadn’t registered for a marriage licence in the state. It is still not known whether or not the couple secured the necessary paperwork to make their union legally binding. The rumoured knot-tying came just two months after the ‘Gold Digger’ singer finalised his divorce from Kim Kardashian, with whom he has four children. It also came as Ye single-handedly destroyed his own career and reputation via a string of anti-Semitic tirades. All we can confidently say at this stage is that Censori considers herself to be off the market, and no, she won’t give her number out to smooth-talking strangers.
