Caroline Rose Giuliani, the filmmaker daughter of Rudy Giuliani, is opening up about her sexuality and being polyamorous.
In an essay for Vanity Fair, Giuliani, 32, shared his experience as a “unicorn”, a person who joins a couple who want to make a trio. She also talked about identifying herself as a pansexual.
“Now I understand that my curiosity, open mind and sense of adventure are three non-negotiable and defining elements of my identity,” she wrote. “But it was only when I started sleeping with couples that I poured my shame on these qualities, let alone embraced them in all areas of my life. Finding the strength to explore these more complicated and passionate aspects of my personality became the key to taking advantage of my voice and creative spark, which in turn helped me better deal with depression, anxiety and the persistent cognitive effects of adolescent anorexia. “
Giuliani, who last year directed / wrote the film Or (someone) other about a woman struggling in an abusive relationship, said she previously “was in a long-term, loving and monogamous relationship.” However, it was one that his “body begged me to end before progressing to an engagement”. She didn’t understand what was missing from the relationship “, but I knew that my partner loved me even though my strange savagery, while I longed to be with someone who loved me Why of this. “
Once single, she “immediately started making up for lost time,” she said. She said she “has known for some time that I was at least bisexual” and said that “threesomes are at the center of a personal Venn diagram”.
While exploring polyamory – and dating a couple – she said, “I started to identify myself as pansexual, which seems more accurate than bisexuality. I am attracted to people based on their presence and energy, regardless of their biological sex. , gender, or gender identity. “
Giuliani, whose mother is former journalist and actress Donna Hanover, said it is important for her to feel comfortable and open about her sexuality, but has led her to be “ashamed of a slut” by some, while “virtual strangers often feel comfortable to confess heavy secrets about your sexuality. “
She added: “I have always valued my ability to reserve space for people to share their repressed experiences because I believe it is an essential step in combating the toxic shame that our society perpetuates.”
Giuliani said that embracing herself made her a “better person”, adding: “Now I know that I am empathic, radically open, deeply adventurous and intensely committed to telling stories that reduce the stigma around sexuality and mental health – including this one, right now. “
She also shared that she hopes to “eventually find a ‘monogamous’ relationship, like many of the couples I dated.”
In October, Giuliani wrote an essay for Vanity Fair titled, “Rudy Giuliani is my father. Please, everyone, vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.” After her parents’ divorce in 2002, she moved away from Trump’s former personal lawyer and mayor of New York.
In her Biden / Harris endorsement, she described herself and her Republican father as “separate multiverses, politically or otherwise”, and said she “spent her entire life forging an identity in the arts separate from my surname”.
