When The Voice‘s Frenchie Davis belted “I Kissed A Girl” during her season 1 audition, she meant it. The powerhouse singer came out in a new interview.
“I wasn’t out before the relationship, but I wasn’t in,” she told The St. Louis Post Dispatch about her relationship with her girlfriend. “I dated men and women, though lesbians weren’t feeling the bisexual thing. Now I’m in love with a woman I think I can be with forever.”
She has since tweeted about her revelation.
