TV reality queen Tiffany “New York” Pollard says she resonates with nonbinary gender identity

Queer reality TV personality Tiffany Pollard said in a recent interview that nonbinary gender identity “resonates” with her, leading some on social media to conclude that she came out as nonbinary.

Pollard, who first starred on the first two seasons of the 2006 reality show  Flavor of Love , made her comments in a September 30 interview with PinkNews in which she said, “I really do resonate with nonbinary because I feel like we are so dual without even recognizing it,” she shared. “Because it takes two sexes for us to get here, so some days I may feel a lot more masculine and sometimes I’m super feminine, and that’s OK.”

During the interview, she also said, “The first time I ever really kissed a girl, I think it was in junior high, and I knew and it was fine. It felt good, it felt right. It had to happen at some point.”

Referencing the freedom of coming out, she added, “You gonna come out of that closet and once you do it’s like, ‘OK, wow, this world is open to me in new ways and sweetie, shoving me back in the closet is never going to be an option.’”

In response to her comments on nonbinary gender identity, one X user  wrote , “[just] found out tiffany pollard is nonbinary this is kinda revolutionary to me.” Another wrote , “We fully respect and support your identity as non-binary. Everyone deserves to be seen and accepted for who they truly are. I’m glad you feel comfortable being yourself!”

Pollard publicly came out in a March 2023 video (below) in which she spoke against anti-LGBTQ+ laws, saying, “What they’re aiming to do is erase queerness. We’re proud of who we are, and yes, I’m queer too — no one can eat a p**sy like me.”

In a 2024 interview on  The Jason Lee Show , Pollard said, “I have lived a very, very broad life. I’ve never been afraid to do anything that I wanted to do.”

Pollard has gained notoriety by appearing on numerous reality TV shows, including I Love New York , Brunch with Tiffany , the British version of Celebrity Big Brother , Family Therapy with Dr. Jenn , and Worst Cooks in America: Celebrity Edition. She also served as a guest judge on Season 11 of RuPaul’s Drag Race and hosted Hot Haus , a reality competition which garnered notoriety for queer adult content creators.

Pollard recently spoke with LGBTQ Nation ‘s sibling site Queerty about her hosting of Slayers: Wheel of Fate , an upcoming reality competition in which queer contestants must tackle physical and fear-based challenges to defend Pollard’s castle from evil Queen Karen. Contestants who fail will be fed to a “literal dragon,” Pollard says in the show’s trailer.
