Why did Jodie Foster leave her lesbo lover after 15 years?
As the news spread, the words “mid-life crisis” were heard being whispered over expensively whipped hot drinks and wholemeal muffins in fashionable coffee shops across Hollywood; it certainly left the entire lesbian community of Los Angeles thoroughly agog.
For it was revealed that Jodie Foster, the charismatic and discreet movie star, had dramatically ditched Cydney Bernard - her lesbian lover of more than 15 years - for a flavour-of-the-month writer who could not be more different from her former girlfriend.
And while Jodie’s old love Cydney was a slightly frumpy older woman, a weather-beaten blonde who had been content to ditch her career for the past 11 years to devote herself to Jodie and their boys, in her new lover Jodie has chosen a media- savvy powerhouse.
Her youthful Mediterranean looks (strong brows, dark hair as shiny as a conker) are the precise opposite of Cydney’s wholesomeness.
No one would accuse Cydney of being stylish - she favours plain jeans and preppy men’s shirts - while Cindy cuts a dash in skinny black designer trousers and tight tops.
“Look, everyone thought that Jodie and Cydney were for ever,” a Hollywood insider told the Mail.
“This was a romance which sailed totally under the radar and was completely happy. People are astonished that Jodie has dumped her. Mid-life crisis? Well, that would be one way to explain it.”
