In her new book, BJK talks about being asked to go to Sochi and seeing this skit -- which she thought was HILARIOUS. She loved it! Sadly she ultimately wasn't able to go to Sochi in order to stay home and be with her mother in failing health.
Sadly, her mother passed away on the day of the opening ceremony. But, being the incredible woman that she is, she went to Russia towards the end of the Olympics and talked openly about gay issues. She did indeed give Putin the gay middle finger. She also helped a gay teenager who was being beaten, spit on, and horribly abused to emigrate to the United States. He asked her for help, and she went out of her way to cut through all the red tape and politics so that he could escape Russia, and live a happy life in America.
@@dandhakljhdlsakfhd4972 no, Kate doesn't get to play a lesbian often. It's 99% straight person, and I just don't get why they won't let her be her authentic self (apologies for the late reply, I didn't realise you had responded)
I'm reading BJK's autobiography "All In" and she mentions this skit. I just had to watch it and now it's much funnier than I remember! 🤣 This woman is a LEGEND!
