Hilary Duff

On questions about sex and sexuality

Host Alex Cooper asked, “I am curious, people having always something to say about you and your sexuality and whether it was your virginity or your hooking up, and then now. How has that impacted your sexuality?”

She responded, “I don’t think it impacted my relationship with sex, but I think it’s just been another one of those things that comes along with my career that I didn’t really ask for and I’ve had to learn how to just accept, but it was really hard as a young girl because I was like coined the good girl and everybody was like, “She’s the good girl, she’s the good girl,” and just having to label someone, and then do everything they could to try to poke holes in that label or try to figure out anything they could that was somewhat negative or bad. You know, they were just trying to create stories and it was hard to be like, one, okay. I’ve been labeled the good girl, but I’m also just normal, doing all the normal things that teenagers are doing, and trying to just kind of exist without accepting those things to be true about myself maybe, or having any sort of privacy I think was just really hard and yeah. I remember that time that person asked me if I was a virgin and I was like, I think also as a child actor, you’re conditioned to want to give people what they want, you know, so answering something like that felt really wild.”
