I have to be that 'post'


does anyone know if samira is lesbian/gay? I don't usually look these things up online, but due to her acting being so good, i wouldn't be surprised if she was. She is so beautiful and my new fav on the show for OITNB... especially the emotional scenes.

I second all of that! I have a bit of a straight girl crush on her, Nicky and Alex.

Samira hasn't said anything publicly in an interview or anything, but she's believed to be gay and dating Lauren Morelli, whose a writer for the show. If you do some detective work on Google, Tumblr, and Instagram, you'll find some tidbits. They've even been spotted by fans in New York (where Samira lives) recently.

I actually have read she's dating officer Bennett in real life. There's a picture of them floating around with them on a couch "booed" up.

She looks amazing in that yellow gown. Her skin just glows.
