'The Gilded Age' star Louisa Jacobson, the daughter of Streep and Don Gummer, shared a series of photos over her mom's birthday weekend to honor her 'Joyful New Era.'

Actor Louisa Jacobson, daughter of Meryl Streep, seemingly came out as LGBTQ+ during her mother's birthday celebrations.

Over the weekend, Jacobson posted a series of photos on Instagram. The first was of her with producer Anna Blundell, followed by a screenshot of an article with the headline “We’re Entering A Joyful New Era of Lesbian Fashion.”


Jacobson captioned it, “Blessed to be entering the Joyful New Era bb,” adding a heart on fire emoji and a rainbow flag emoji. In true iconic fashion, the post was shared during her mother’s birthday weekend, as Streep's birthday is on June 22.

While Jacobson did not explicitly confirm her identity, many commenters interpreted the images as a hint that she identifies as a lesbian. She had previously posted a Pride month Instagram story on June 1, saying “Happy priiiiiiiide,” while holding a book called How To Be Gay, which a fan shared on X (formerly Twitter).

Jacobson has followed in her mother's footsteps by attending Yale School of Drama and now stars in the HBO period drama The Gilded Age.


Some people were pleasantly surprised.

Democratic Rep. Perfectly Calls Out Hypocrisy Of Trump's 'Department Of War' Rebrand

California Democratic Representative Sara Jacobs called out the hypocrisy of President Donald Trump's "Department of War" rebrand after news outlets reported that it's merely a "secondary title" for the Department of Defense (DOD) and not a legal name change.

The department is only being given alternate labels, which is a symbolic rebrand more than anything substantive. The official name will remain the same unless Congress passes a law to change it.

Italian reporter sparks backlash

Federica Polidoro attempted to clean up her mess after the After the Hunt press junket with Andrew Garfield, Julia Roberts, and Ayo Edebiri went viral for all the wrong reasons.

The Italian journalist drew backlash after explicitly excluding Edebiri from a question about the #MeToo and Black Lives Matter movements—two movements rooted in women’s voices and racial justice, a.k.a. exactly the communities Edebiri belongs to.

A Truly Disturbing Drawing Of Epstein With Young Girls From His 'Birthday Book' Is Sparking Outrage

Social media users have reacted with outrage after the House Oversight Committee released a drawing of the late financier, pedophile, and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein handing young girls candy next to a drawing of himself being massaged by several women.

The panel released a redacted copy of a “birthday book” given to Epstein for his 50th birthday. The more than 230-page volume contains crude sexual jokes, references to sex with underage girls, and a note allegedly from President Donald Trump that includes the outline of a nude woman and alludes to a “wonderful secret” the two purportedly shared.

Crockett Epically Rips Trump Over His Claim That The Signature On Epstein Birthday Letter Isn't His

The story MAGA Republican President Donald Trump has told about his connection to registered sex offender and indicted human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein—whose crimes included the exploitation and predation of minors—has evolved each time new evidence of their longstanding close ties has come to light.
