In 2018, Amandla said to Wonderland Magazine: 'I was so overcome with this profound sense of relief when I realized that I'm gay. Not bi, not pan[sexual] but gay - with a romantic love for women. All of these things that felt so internally contrary to my truest self were rectified as I unraveled a long web of denial and self-deprivation.'
Lena, who is a lesbian, also tweeted: 'Always weird when the homophobia is coming from inside the house but this is something,' referring to the fact that they are both part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Lena pointed out that Amandla appeared to only zero in on her and not any other film critic.
Lena shared the DM from Amandla on her Twitter and TikTok.
In the DM, Amandla wrote: 'Ur review was great, maybe if you had gotten ur eyes off my t**s you could've watched the movie!'
