Hairspray star Nikki Blonsky says she’s gay to the tune of Diana Ross’ I’m Coming Out in Pride month

Nikki Blonsky came out to the Diana Ross’ anthem I’m Coming Out in a TikTok post Sunday.

‘Hi, it’s Nikki Blonsky from the movie I’m Gay! #pride #imcomingout #hairspray’ said the 31-year-old actress in a clip in which she danced in her backyard.

In the comment section, Blonsky showed her gratitude to her 27,000-plus followers who had given her feedback amid the personal announcement.

‘It’s incredibly true!!!’ she said. ‘Thank you so much for the love and support!’

Blonsky portrayed Tracy Turnblad in the 2007 film alongside John Travolta and an ensemble cast that included Queen Latifah, Michelle Pfeiffer, Zac Efron, Amanda Bynes, Christopher Walken and the late Jerry Stiller.

Speaking with Newsday earlier this month, the Long Island, New York native said she’s enjoying doing Nikki Nights, a talk show on her Instagram Live account, as she truly enjoys ‘to converse with people.’

She added: ‘Every day is more exciting than the last. People are very giving of their time and energy right now.’ 

Among the stars she’s interviewed on the social media platform include Rose McGowan, Ricki Lake and Carnie Wilson. Blonsky said the celebs ‘were all so receptive,’ adding, ‘It’s amazing how the internet can bring people together.’ 

She’s next due to welcome stars including America’s Next Top Model’s Laura James and Bizarre Foods’ Andrew Zimmern.

She credited her upbringing to her skills as a communicator and broadcaster: ‘I grew up in a household where my parents let me be myself, speak my mind and be a strong, independent woman. I feel more at home in front of the camera than alone with two people.’
