Matt Bomer shared his painful experience of being publicly outed before he was ready, notably by media figures like Perez Hilton. On the podcast "Dinner's On Me," he discussed the emotional toll of this unwanted exposure, recounting that although he was living openly in his personal life, he was not prepared for this aspect to be revealed publicly. He expressed gratitude for his family’s support while also addressing the risk of being out in the industry at that time, reflecting on the impact of homophobia in his career.
"Folks could kind of take over your own personal narrative before you even had a chance. I was already out in my life, but it was a time when it was very risky to be out professionally."
"It felt kind of unfair to me that that was stolen by people who did have a microphone at the time."
