G Flip reveals explicit queer terms they had to teach wife Chrishell Stause

G Flip reveals explicit queer terms they had to teach wife Chrishell Stause

Metro6 days ago

Before meeting G Flip, Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause was clueless about the meaning of 'scissoring'.
Three years ago, the actress-turned-reality star hard-launched her relationship with the Australian musician.
It was a surprise for many fans of the Netflix series, as well as Chrishell herself, who had never even considered she was queer before meeting G, who is non-binary.
At the time they were met with a wave of a support from fans, however also faced shocking homophobia and claims their relationship was simply a 'PR stunt'.
But a few years on, the pair are stronger than ever.
Speaking to Metro during Pride Month, and after performing at the queer favourite festival Mighty Hoopla in London, G has reflected on their whirlwind rise to fame, their relationship with Chrishell, and what else is in the works music-wise.
For those unfamiliar with G, they began playing the drums at the age of nine, initially having plans to pursue a career playing in bands.
But after deciding to have a go at going solo, in 2018 they uploaded their debut single About You to the music discovery platform Triple J Unearthed.
The song took off and kick-started G's career, with the singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist going on to release debut album About Us in 2019.
That was followed by Drummer in 2023, which debuted at the top of Australia's ARIA Album Charts and saw G tour it twice across the UK last year.
During G's UK shows, they regularly broke down in tears, thanking fans for their support, especially considering their team didn't anticipate just how many fans were in the UK.
'I feel like I didn't know I had any people who knew my music on this side of the world until last year. We put on one show and no-one, including my booking manager and agent, thought we would sell it out and then we did it for three shows. Then we realised, 'oh sh**', we actually have a bigger fan base here than we knew about, so then we came back and played other shows,' they said.
'It's been pretty fun. The shows here are insane – I don't know what's cooking over here, but people be loud and screaming songs! Some of our favourite shows have been in the UK – people really get into it, it's awesome!'
A new fan base was undoubtedly introduced to their music when they first appeared on Selling Sunset, a decision G admitted they'd been nervous about.
'I definitely questioned it because reality TV isn't really my bag or my world. I was a little bit anxious, but the thing Chrishell and I spoke about was that it would be so good for queer and nonbinary representation,' they said.
'But I was a bit scared…it's reality TV but there's also eight f***ing cameras in the room…that's still so weird to me.'
However, G added: 'It led some people to my music, and I am very lucky to have people who are supportive of us and also my music and dreams.'
However, with the newfound attention, G and Chrishell also faced hostility.
'We have a lot of hate online from trolls and keyboard warriors who are always DM'ing us or commenting on our photos. I'm not much of a comment reader to be honest – I never have been – but what people say about me, or my relationship doesn't affect me,' they explained.
'It doesn't make me feel insecure because I feel really secure in my relationship and gender identity and sexuality and who I am, so if people tell me 'you're not non-binary, you're a girl' I just shrug it off.'
After meeting at a Halloween party in 2021, G and Chrishell were friends before romance blossomed, with the latter previously speaking about initially rejecting G's advances thinking she was only interested in men.
So, when they did start dating, G joked Chrishell, now 43, had a lot to learn.
'What's beautiful about Chrishell is that she was so eager to learn and started asking me so many questions. We had deep talks about pronouns and me being non-binary and she would ask if she should step in if people didn't get my pronouns right.
'Really cute sh** like that, which is why I love and adore her so much. She did ask me what a U-Haul lesbian was. All the queer terms that we use. I told her what a top and bottom were and what scissoring was. It was fun. A few years on she is very up to speed and is now the teacher for other people,' G laughs.
Since being catapulted into the spotlight globally through their relationship, G has been inundated with people sharing their own coming out stories.
'I take seriously when people look up to me. I think it's really beautiful and I hold it really close to my heart to be the best representation I can be for the non-binary and queer community. I love the community and living authentically who you are is such a euphoric experience and I want everyone to feel that. If I have in any way helped them discover who they are, then I am doing my job,' they said.
Last week G released their latest song Big Ol' Hammer, which they called 'the queerest song I've ever written'. 'It's camp, tongue-in-cheek, fun, and not to be taken too seriously. When I wrote it, I immediately knew I wanted to release it during Pride.'
Performing in the UK not long after the Supreme Court's controversial decision on defining what it means to be a woman, G weighed in.
'I would want to know more so I could get my wording right on what the ruling was, but gender is a spectrum. I am non-binary and that is who I am. How you feel in your gender is how you feel in your gender.
'When people say 'there is two genders and nothing else' that is just not the case. The world is evolving, and gender and sexuality is. It's forever changing and it's beautiful.
'There are sh** times happening but it's also making us as a community come together and fight and be united, so it's really beautiful in that sense that it's bringing us closer.' More Trending
Speaking about living in the US at a time when the rights of queer and transgender people are under threat, G said it was unsettling but was also feeling hopeful.
'I am feeling for my trans brothers and sisters out there, and it is such a hard time, but I feel the community is coming together and holding each other closer and Pride events happening this month, we have each other's backs which is really beautiful for see,' they said.
'I think in times and years to come we will look back and it will obviously be a sad and a hard time, but we will also remember how we had each other's backs, which I think is beautiful in dark times.'
G-Flip's latest singles Disco Cowgirl and Big Ol' Hammer are out now, with an album and planned UK tour dates on the way.

Jules Thomas: How my leukaemia was caused by Sophie Toscan du Plantier stress

For over two years Jules Thomas, the former partner of the Sophie Toscan du Plantier murder suspect Ian Bailey, spared her three daughters from the devastating truth that she is suffering from leukaemia. 'I just couldn't bring myself to tell them, to give my girls that worry and upset. I kept it to myself for as long as I could,' she told The Sunday Times. 'Eventually I decided they should know, so I wrote letters at the same time to each of my daughters to tell them.' Thomas now counts herself among the 220 people in Ireland every year who are diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, an incurable, slowly progressing blood cancer. The Welsh-born landscape artist has been embroiled in a legal battle against Netflix for several years. In a long-running High Court case, Thomas claims she was defamed in the three-part documentary series Sophie: A Murder in West Cork. She has alleged that the show, screened in 2021, contains a number of inaccuracies and she also claims in her legal action against the streaming giant and the production company Lightbox Media for injurious falsehood and infliction of emotional suffering. All of these claims are, however, understood to be denied by Netflix and Light Box Media, which are fully defending the action.

Jonathan Bailey 'risked being seconds from death' filming Jurassic World Rebirth

Bridgerton star Jonathan Bailey has opened up about joining the Jurassic Park franchise, with him appearing alongside Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali in the new film Actor Jonathan Bailey has teased that he risked his life whilst working on Jurassic World Rebirth. He's revealed that he filmed alongside potentially lethal snakes for his role but shared his excitement over the experience. Jonathan, 37 - known for his roles in Bridgerton and more recently Wicked - said he was told that the serpents could kill him within seconds on the set of the Jurassic World film, which is set to be released next month. He's shared that he was instructed on safety measures to avoid a fatal encounter. ‌ As reported by the Daily Star, Jonathan recalled: "When you're making a movie, you want to feel the world of the movie as much as possible." He went on to say that he worked on scenes in snake-infested waters for the project. ‌ He said: "And my gosh, do you feel it when you're up to your waist in snake-infested waters. You have snake wranglers around you who do make you feel safe, but they also say things like 'be careful around this one. If you get bit, you die in 10 seconds'." He expressed excitement over appearing in the franchise through, saying: "That kind of moment speaks to the visceral thrills that Jurassic movies are all about! I had never had that kind of experience on a set before. It was all very ­exciting and I hope it's matched by the film." Jonathan suggested that he didn't shy away from stunts whilst on location in Thailand. Describing one intense scene from the production, as reported by the outlet, he said that his "inner child" was "screaming with delight". He said: "We had to shoot a scene where my character must pull someone back into a boat because she's falling off the side. I had water cannons blasting me, the boat's flipping around, and my inner child, which isn't all that inner, was just screaming with delight." Jonathan stars as palaeontologist Dr Henry Loomis in Jurassic World Rebirth, which is the seventh instalment in the long-running film franchise that previously starred Chris Pratt. He leads the cast with Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali. ‌ Jonathan has shared that he relished the opportunity to play the character. He said about his role in Jurassic World Rebirth: "To play Henry, who embodies the love of nature and our best curiosities about it, was great fun." It's the latest high-profile role in Jonathan's career. In recent years, he's starred as Fiyero Tigelaar in Wicked (2024). He's set to reprise the role in sequel Wicked: For Good (2025), which is scheduled to be released in November. ‌ Jonathan is also known for playing Lord Anthony Bridgerton in Netflix series Bridgerton. The show launched on the streaming platform in 2020 and his character was the focus of the second season, which aired in 2022. He's teased that he's been a fan of Jurassic Park for years, having been introduced to the franchise as a child. He said: "I was five when my family took me to Jurassic Park, so a questionable choice by my parents. The characters were so vivid and because it was Spielberg, it was a sumptuous escapist delight."
