3. If he is saying that to be mean or salacious, that's just stupid. Who cares either way?

Why would this guy think people would get all excited about that? What's his purpose?

Personally, I don't know a damn thing either way, but I always believed she was bisexual, based on an offhand comment she made on one of the late night talks shows--I think it was the Tonight Show eons ago back when Carson was still hosting. That was a long time ago, of course, so I could have the wrong program. I do remember the comment--it was something like "Girls are great, too," said with a smile and in the appropriate context. Maybe she meant it, maybe she was just being "cute." Who knows? I took it as she was bi, and so what? It never "bothered" me either way and I didn't think it worth dwelling on.

Why anyone would try to smear the woman or make money with that kind of 'accusation' is beyond me. Her personal life, whatever it was, was her business. If she wanted to "share" with her adoring fans, she would have.

Bottom line: Anyone trying to cash in on her death by claiming to have the inside scoop about her private life is pretty damn shameless, IMO--and most certainly, as you say, a leech. The time to have that little discussion/gossip fest about her personal affairs was when she was alive and could correct any errors of fact. Now that she's gone, it's a one-way conversation.
