    Looks like that’s that. Ever since the Gossip Girl reboot aired on HBO Max in early July, fans couldn’t stop asking questions about Monet’s sexuality.

    So Smith gave some insight into her character’s personality during a previous interview with Essence.

    “She’s evil! She’s cutthroat. She’s the maker of all drama, and she makes people cry,” Smith explained about Monet. “I definitely thought about the angry Black girl trope, but it’s just not there.”

    “Monet is a very complex character,” she continued. “In the first few episodes, you’ll see her on the surface level, but you can tell that there’s a reason she acts the way she does.”

    Smith said that as the series goes on, you’ll see more of Monet’s personality unfold. Hopefully, by the end of the show, we’ll understand Monet inside and out.
