After Stefflon Don's comments on Aftersun, we need to talk about the speculation surrounding Mehdi's sexuality
even likes females, I’m not going to lie. I’m not sure, you know. Or he likes both. He’s giving a bit of both.' The audience instantly gasped in shock. Maya replied, 'Oh no. He can do whatever he likes…'
After Stefflon Don's comments were aired, viewers quickly took to social media to condemn them, pointing out that such judgement surrounding sexuality is not only harmful to Mehdi, but to gender identity and self expression as a whole. One viewer wrote, 'Stefflon Don saying that she thinks Mehdi is bisexual and then saying Whitney needs a "real man" is gross.
First of all, it's important to state: Medhi does not owe us an explanation as to how he labels his sexuality - nor should we be speculating. As far as viewers are aware, Mehdi is coupled up with Whitney and we know he dates women. Mehdi hans't said anything further as to whether he is bisexual or not, and that decision alone is where the conversation should stop.
It's even more infuriating that Mehdi doesn't have the option speak for himself. He is currently in the villa with no access to the outside. In a sense, the world is trying to speak on his behalf and create labels for him. Unfortunately, speculating about people's sexuality seems to be a growing trend amongst celebrity fan culture and it's dangerous. From
