Julieta Díaz Reveals Past Romantic Experience with a Woman

Argentine actress Julieta Díaz has publicly shared a significant romantic experience from her past, detailing an attraction to a woman during her early acting career. Díaz recounted the story during an interview on the podcast Lesboteca, describing a profound connection she felt with an actress who was two years her senior when Díaz was just 17.

“

It was my favorite, she was the one I liked the most how she acted and she was my best friend on the work team. At one point I even went to her house. I have a very vivid memory of being at her house with her, the two of us, and something like excitement, but there wasn't a desire of saying, 'I need to kiss her, I need to touch her.' I feel that now perhaps I repressed it and at that moment I did feel it.

At the time, Díaz identified as heterosexual and had not previously questioned her sexuality. However, this particular actress, whom she admired for her talent and considered a close friend, evoked a unique sense of excitement. Díaz recalled a vivid memory of being at the actress's home, experiencing a feeling of arousal that she now believes she may have repressed at the time.

Their paths diverged after this period, and they did not reconnect until 30 years later. During this reunion, Díaz felt compelled to express the feelings she had harbored for decades. Despite having a daughter in 2014 with Brent Federigh and generally being attracted to men, Díaz felt a strong certainty about her feelings for this actress. She invited her over for dinner with the intention of being open about her emotions.

“

I had the certainty that I would like it; it's not like, 'Wow, I'm curious and I want to try to see if I like it,' which I think is actually that one wants it and will do it, but there was something very, of great certainty.

Following a shared drink, Díaz and the actress kissed. Díaz described the moment as "very loving, very beautiful." Although the encounter did not lead to a sexual relationship, and they subsequently stopped seeing each other, Díaz stated that she has never experienced a similar feeling for another woman since. The actress's influence on Díaz's understanding of her own desires remains a defining experience.

It was very loving, very beautiful.
