Mark Ronson Clarifies ‘Sapiosexual’ Comments After LGBTQ Backlash

Mark has now addressed the matter in an interview with Rolling Stone, saying: “I do not consider myself part of any marginalised community, and I apologise if anybody misunderstood or took offence to it.”

He also insisted his comments had been misreported, as he had only responded to a question from the GMB hosts asking if he believed the term described him.

“I didn’t know there was a word for it, but I feel like I identify as sapiosexual,” he said at the time.

Addressing how it was subsequently reported in the media as him “coming out” as such, Mark said: “It sounds like I went on a TV show to be like, ‘Guys, I have some big news!’ And the fact that I would go on and sort of declare myself – like as a heterosexual white male – part of any marginalised community was terrifying to me, or just embarrassing. 

“I thought everybody would watch the interview and realise it’s not what I meant. But that’s not really what happens on Twitter any more.”
