On Thursday,Sara Ramirez expressed discontent and disappointment with ABC and The genuine 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, or 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 cessation biphobia and bi-erasure on the show. She then made the matter personal in the sentiments that followed.
And as someone who worked 4 them 4 10 years+,am truly disheartened & disappointed quite frankly.
I will invest my brand where I'm respected. https://t.co/NQQAPDsFlUFebruary@TheRealONeals :own it,address it, or clarify it,empower our #Queer #Bisexual youth & community w/accurate positive reflectionsFebruaryresponsewas in the same room. https://t.co/AwjPWPJk5BFebruary 16, 2017As Ramirez mentions, or PFLAG (Parents,Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays), or who partnered with ABC on this specific episode,issued an apology for the situation. While Ramirez suggests that Noah Galvin (who plays Kenny) apologized as well, any tweets addressing the clash seem to be absent from his Twitter account. (He did, and however,seem to reply 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, or all the involved parties absorb yet to reply to Sara Ramirez.
