Queen Latifah says her personal life is private, but that doesn’t mean we won’t speculate on the most famous closeted singer-actress. And neither will the tabloids. Thanks to a lawsuit claiming unpaid back wages (to the tune of $1 million), Latifah’s leanings could become part of public record if two former employees don’t get their cash demands met. Latifah, who’s long been linked to personal trainer Jeanette Jenkins, has never acknowledged the relationship on the record. Soon, it could be in a court reporter’s. But let us take a stab at how this will play out: Latifah will settle for pennies on the dollar, they’ll sign a non-disclosure agreement, and the matter will fade into the shadows. [via BC]

In the movie “Set if Off” Queen Latifah starred as a lesbian bank robber. If you look closely at the chemistry between her and the young woman who played her lover it is EXTREMELY had to believe she is “acting”.
Queen Latifah I always have and always will love you honey. However be nice and keep this nosy bastards guessing and trying to dig up dirt on you. The laugh is really on them.

Why are these fools acting like they got the scoop on something? Everybody, their dog and their mama knows that Queen L is a lez girl. I hope y’all don’t get paid for this. This story is like looking at a newspaper from freakin’ 1990. OMG! Did you hear her NEW single “u.n.i.t.y”? I hear it’s the bomb. Shh! That’s a secret!!!

After reading the article I find it interesting none of the complaintants have anything in writing that says they were to be paid advisors for x amount of dollars. Maybe they do. Maybe they don’t.
It sounds like they figured they had a pot of gold by working for Latifah and now that the excitement and their services are now history they want to make a killing via of blackmail.
If she mistreated them that badly when did they hang around if they were as professional as they claim to be?
