Sara Ramirez Is Not Happy About That Bisexual Joke on The Real O'Neals

By  20:09  No comments

On Thursday, Sara Ramirez expressed discontent and disappointment with ABC and The Real O'Neals. The source of the anger is an episode that aired on Jan. 17, in which main character Kenny O'Neal equates bisexuality to having "webbed toes" or "money problems." Not only did Ramirez play the inimitable (and bisexual) Callie Torres on Grey's Anatomy for nearly a decade, but she also came out as bisexual herself during a powerful speech in Oct. 2016. Ramirez started her beef with the situation by first tweeting out a link to a petition that seeks to end biphobia and bi-erasure on the show. She then made the matter personal in the sentiments that followed.

As Ramirez mentions, PFLAG (Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays), who partnered with ABC on this particular episode, issued an apology for the situation. While Ramirez suggests that Noah Galvin (who plays Kenny) apologized as well, any tweets addressing the conflict seem to be absent from his Twitter account. (He did, however, seem to respond to a fan who tweeted about the issue.) This isn't the first time the ABC comedy has been embroiled in drama. Last June, Galvin landed in hot water after an incendiary interview with Vulture went viral. Currently, all the involved parties have yet to respond to Sara Ramirez.
