BBG News

Aubrey Anderson-Emons, known for her role in Modern Family, recently shared on social media that she identifies as bisexual. Fans are praising this announcement as incredibly inspiring.

Known most for playing Lily Tucker-Pritchett on the popular ABC sitcom, Anderson-Emmons marked Pride month by revealing her identity to fans in a touching and significant way, drawing inspiration from a memorable scene within the show.

In the given scenario, Lily, a character who is brought up by fathers Mitchell Pritchett and Cam Tucker, portrayed by Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet (both being gay), tends to mix up the concepts of sexual orientation and nationality.

Lily’s dad Mitchell responds: “Honey, no, you’re not gay. You are just confused!”

Sharing a funny lip-synced video on Instagram for Pride Month, Anderson-Emmons wrote: “Wishing everyone a joyful Pride Month, and goodnight with a chuckle!

In a different post, she wrote: “There’s a lot of humor surrounding my sexuality, but let me clarify that I am indeed bisexual.

One fan expressed, “Oh my goodness, Cam and Mitch would be thrilled,” while another exclaimed, “Hearing this audio is simply legendary.” (In this version, I’ve aimed for a more formal tone that maintains the original meaning.)

The first fan exclaimed enthusiastically, “LMFAOOOO!!! Mitch and Cam will certainly be proud of you!!!” Meanwhile, the second fan expressed joy by saying, “Congratulations! I’m so thrilled for your success!!!

Recently, Ferguson clarified the secret of the show’s mockumentary style, revealing that it originally held a different name.

The reason the production was a mockumentary style, although it wasn’t explicitly stated, was because an early concept of “Modern Family” featured a foreign exchange student who lived with Mitchell (my character) and Claire (Julie Bowen) during their youth.

He intended to return for a documentary about the family he grew up with in his youth, which would be titled “My American Family“.

Modern Family streams on Disney+ in the UK and Hulu and Peacock in the US.
