During the episode, Jake suggested that people pausing their lives during the Covid-19 pandemic as well as the rise of TikTok contributed to more and more queer folks coming out in 2020.

“The first time I ever publicly talked about being gay was in 2020,” Renee said. “I remember ’cause I remember it being, like, a thing. I was like, ‘Am I gonna post online that I’m a little gay?’”

She recalled going a little “crazy” when she read all the comments and shared that she felt “like sh-t.”

Drew Barrymore recently called Renee her “protector” after the singer helped save her from a stalker.
