Earlier this year, Slaton also spoke briefly about her sexuality following Willingham’s death. In January, she posted a video on TikTok responding to a follower who asked if she was transgender after she used Pride flag and transgender flag emojis in her caption.

“No, I’m not trans. I just support everything,” she explained. “I used to say I was pansexual, but I kind of stopped messing with boys after my husband passed away. So I’m like a lesbian.”

“I just showed support,” she said then. “I’m not a hater. Love is love. Everyone deserves love whether they are gay, straight, trans, pan, bi, non-binary, whatever. I’m just a lover.”
