Fran Drescher was honored Tuesday at the Stonewall Community Foundation Vision Awards and thanked everyone including her “gay ex-husband.”
Honored for her advocacy, she quipped, “I have a gay art dealer, a gay dermatologist — not to mention my hairdresser. I have a gay ex-husband! People always say to me [of her ex], ‘How did you not know?’ He loves decorating and fashion and clothes, but we actually did have sex a lot. I didn’t know at the time, though, that in his mind he was f - - king the bartender at Olive Garden.”
Drescher was wed for 21 years to Peter Marc Jacobson, who came out after they split and is now her “best friend.”
“Now I’m actually married to this wonderful sophisticated straight man [Shiva Ayyadurai] who loves taking off my clothes, that PETA picks out for me,” she said.
Also honored: Kehinde Wiley and Maneesh K. Goyal, at the Tribeca Rooftop soiree hosted by Bevy Smith.
