When money is a little tight and you've got bills coming through the door, I'm sure we've all said we'd do certain things just to make ends meet. Heck, I once saw a friend willingly take a kick to the nuts for a pint of beer, so imagine what he would have done if his landlord was knocking at his front door?
Well, English songstress Paloma Faith recently revealed in an Instagram Live Q&A that she took part in a topless lesbian scene during a time in her life when she was struggling to make rent.
Faith has been taking to Instagram during lockdown to put smiles on her fan's faces:The 38-year-old said that she was facing eviction at the time, so when an artist offered her the chance to appear in a film, she took the opportunity and the paycheck.
Per UK tabloid The Sun, Faith was asked if she had ever had a fling with a woman, to which she told her fans:
"I was with a woman once but only from the waist up and it was when I couldn’t make my rent.
"An artist asked me if I would be in an art film, doing stereotypical lesbian stuff with a woman.
"The woman I did it with was really attractive, awe-inspiringly gorgeous. And I felt like, yes, it was hot.
"I got £250 ($310 USD) for it, which is what I needed to cover my rent. I was going to get evicted at the time."
Now, Faith is in a long-term relationship with French artist Leyman Lahcine, with whom she shares a three-year-old child who they are raising gender-neutral.
Speaking to Attitude magazine in 2014, faith revealed her thoughts on the differences between men and women when it comes to sexuality:
"I’m a gay man trapped in a woman’s body.
"I also think most women are bisexual.
"I think it’s maybe less so for men because socially it’s more taboo - there’s more pressure on a man.
"So it’s a big deal, a big decision to come out.
"I think with women, it’s every heterosexual man’s biggest fantasy to see two women get together, so it’s a bit more acceptable."
No matter what your thoughts are what goes on in the bedroom, it just goes to show you that despite having four hit albums and selling millions of records worldwide, so many people have dealt with financial struggles at one time in their life.
