Explaining that she doesn't talk about her personal life "for the sake of my family, and my children, and, you know, privacy", she shared her belief "I don't think it ultimately matters" when it comes to her sexuality and how that impacts her writing."
"She also said: "I would not ever try to use my sexuality as a way of being like, 'See, I have the right to write these books,' because I don't think that that's how it works." Supported in this by DiDario, Reid went on to say in the podcast's closing moments that people should separate the work from the artist."
