Elliot did not name the A-List actor in question, but said that he was just an “acquaintance,” according to People.

The actor told Page “you aren’t gay. That doesn’t exist. You are just afraid of men.” He also said, “I’m going to f—k you to make you realize you aren’t gay.”

When they saw each other at the gym a few days later, the actor approached Page and said, “I don’t have a problem with gay people I swear.” Page replied, “I think you might.”

“I’ve had some version of that happen many times throughout my life. A lot of queer and trans people deal with it incessantly. These moments that we often like don’t talk about or we’re supposed to just brush off, when actually it’s very awful. I put that story in the book because it’s about highlighting the reality, the s–t we deal with and what gets sent to us constantly, particularly in environments that are predominantly cis and heterosexual. How we navigate that world where you either have more extreme, overt moments like that. Or you have the more, like, subtle jokes. [In Hollywood] these are very powerful people. They’re the ones choosing what stories are being told and creating content for people to see all around the world,” Elliot wrote in the book. “I’m purposely not sharing his name. But he will hear about this and know it’s him.”

Elliot says that many people saw what happened at that party.

In the book, Elliot also wrote about a secret relationship he had with an A-List actress, who was already dating someone else at the time.
