In the 2013 movie Concussion, Robin Weigert plays Abby, a lesbian housewife who steps outside her marriage and goes into a different world of sexual awakenings. In an interview with AfterEllen she mentioned that it was a deep experience for her playing the character. She did a bit of research on the role and decided to use lesbian prostitution as Abby’s journey in the movie.
Her acting was widely accepted and so on point that rumors started swirling that she could be a lesbian. Considering movies with lesbian protagonists are far and few in-between, and she played her character so well it was believable, the rumors have only been fueled. However, like everything else in her personal life Robin has not openly accepted nor rejected the claims.
