The Internet has been abuzz with gossip on Cross' supposed outing ever since a Feb. 1 message board posting at gay gossip forum DataLounge.com by an individual using the handle Your Friendly Spy at ABC suggested that an unnamed actor on the show would be coming out to gay magazine The Advocate, just in time for May sweeps.
The thread had garnered over 900 responses by Wednesday; most of them theorizing that Cross was the closeted actor in question.
However, Cross, previously known for her villainous turn as Dr. Kimberly Shaw on Melrose Place, was apparently not on board with the general consensus regarding her same-sex leanings.
"In response to the recent rumors about Marcia Cross, they are completely untrue," her spokeswoman, Heidi Slan, said in a statement Tuesday. "She is, however, very supportive of the gay and lesbian community."
Cross denied the lesbian allegations in person when she filled in as guest host on Wednesday's episode of The View, saying she was "happy" but "not gay."
