Tyler Posey Says He's 'Queer' Like Girlfriend Phem And 'In The Best Relationship'

Tyler Posey is opening up about his sexuality.

The "Teen Wolf" star got candid about his sexuality as he spoke about his relationship with his girlfriend, musician Phem, during an interview with NME. According to him, she has been his biggest supporter since they began dating in February, and he credited her for helping him realize he's "queer."

"I've been with everybody under the sun," Tyler told the outlet Thursday. "And right now I'm in the best relationship that I've ever been in with a woman, and she's queer too."

"She's helped me realize that I fit under the queer umbrella and that I'm sexually fluid, I guess...No, not 'I guess.' I don't want anyone to take this [interview] and be, like 'Well, he was kind of wishy-washy about it,'" he continued.

Posey first came out as sexually fluid in October 2020 on OnlyFans, a subscription-based platform where content creators can earn money from their fans. However, the MTV star said his announcement was not well-received.

"Someone asked if I'd been with men [as well as women], and I said yes. Since then there's been this really loud person online—I'm pretty sure it's only one person—and they're trying to call me a 'gay-baiter': pretending to be gay to get money, essentially," Posey told NME.

According to the actor, some of the messages he received were "really cruel." He shared that some were directed at his mom, who succumbed to breast cancer in December 2014.

"And [the troll] made this one comment that kind of sparked me wanting to do something about cyberbullying. They said: 'I killed your mother'—like, this person actually claimed they killed my mother," Posey added. "But I know that other people who deal with this kind of s--t may not be as strong mentally."

In March, Posey also spoke about his admission of being sexually fluid on the "Just for Variety" podcast. According to him, fans asked him if he had been with men, and he just gave an honest answer.

"And I was just being honest about it, because no one’s ever asked me before," he explained.

In a previous interview with E!'s "The Rundown" with Erin Lim, the "Alone" actor recounted his experience on OnlyFans, sharing that he tried his best to avoid being objectified.

"OnlyFans is bizarre. It's really, sort of mentally draining," he said. "You really feel like an object on OnlyFans. I'm trying my hardest to be artistic as possible with the content I put out 'cause I don't want it to just be porn, you know? That's not what I do and I don't want to take it away from the people that are doing that. I just want to be artistic and stay in touch with my fans."
