When Did Violent Turn Lesbian?


Was she straight turned to gay after seeing Corky or was she bisexual from the start?

reply

I don't think there's a specific line of dialogue that explains, however, there are numerous hints of a lifestyle Violet has lived before. She is either bisexual or merely a lesbian who knows how to survive by seducing powerful men.

She's a lesbian. She's not bisexual. She explains this pretty clearly. When she has sex with men it's work and she doesn't consider it sex.

She was a lesbian. Remember when Violent told Corky that Shelly (guy that stole the money) had seen her with other women.

Does she not say Caesar watched her do it with chicks before ?

Of course not. If he had, he'd probably would have suspected Corky. He's blindsided because it doesn't even occur to him she couldn't be into him.
She was talking about the other guy who gets tortured and eventually killed by Johnny.

Of course, they quickly separate and made sure everything was adjusted and full clothed before he looked in the living room. However, for about 5 seconds, he suspected their make out on the couch on the first go.

She was most likely a lesbian or at least bisexual, but she came from a very difficult background so she used what she had in assets to make a living for a while, then found a guy who personally she wasn't into him but he came on her and she accepted knowing he would take care of her. Unfortunately, he came with baggage that she couldn't live with anymore, so, once she found what she was looking for, she left with Corky and $2,000,000 in mob dough.

At birth.
Also, she was bi...no matter what she called herself

She wasn’t attracted to men. She was gay.

reply

She didn't turn. That's how she was born, Brainiac. The movie makes it clear, e.g., "Cesar knew what I was when he met me."

What the hell ever happened to paying attention?

reply

Turned? Born? Converted? Whichever preference you want to go with I don't think it made a difference.

She was born lesbian. She was not bisexual. The script makes it clear that she used sex with men for money and power. “He knew what I was when we met.”
