Jost weighed in on the ensuing reactions in an interview Thursday with “Entertainment Tonight.” He suggested it was strange for people to be shocked by a married woman sharing a platonic kiss with a friend and reminded people that Bailey is gay.
“I guess in ‘Jurassic Park’ terms, the attack always comes from the raptor you never thought,” said Jost. “Of all the threats out there, I wasn’t thinking it was Jonathan. People really blow it out of proportion when someone, like, kisses their friend hello, that’s pretty nuts.”
“Jonathan’s an out gay man,” he added. “It didn’t seem like the biggest threat.”
“He’s a lovable guy, what can I say?” she said. “You know, I don’t know, we’re friendly people.”
