Maren Morrisis opening up about her first experience dating a woman.
Morris, 36, came out as bisexual in 2024, a year after her divorce from ex-husband Ryan Hurd. In a newTikTokvideo shared on Wednesday, April 15, "The Bones" singer responded to a person's comment about her "bisexual journey," which she described as "pretty short."
The country singer explained that she was "briefly" seeing a woman who she told she was "not looking for anything serious," noting that she was "at a point in my life right now where just I don’t have that to give."
When the woman agreed to keep it casual, Morris continued seeing her, but added that "it was clear the woman was looking for different things.
"And y’all I’m not kidding, within three weeks of this completely falling apart, it was lies, threats to my reputation, and borderline extortion," Morris said in the video. "It was pretty f----d up."
"And for that to be my first experience, is just so depressing, and I was just like, I think I’m just really cool being alone," Morris reflected.
