Caroline Rose Giuliani, the filmmaker’s daughter of Rudy Giuliani, opens up about her sexuality and being poliamorous.
In an essay for Vanity Fair, Giuliani, 32, shared her experience as a ‘unicorn’, a person who joins an existing couple in a trio. She also talked about identifying as pansexual.
“I now understand that my curiosity, openness and adventure are three non-negotiable, which determine elements of my identity,” she wrote. ‘But only when I started sleeping with couples did I shed my shame about those traits, let alone embrace them in all areas of my life. Finding the strength to explore these more complex, passionate aspects of my personality has been key to harnessing my voice and creative spark, which in turn has helped me cope with depression, anxiety and the persistent cognitive effects of adolescent anorexia to offer. ‘
Giuliani, who directed / wrote the film last year Or (someone) else about a woman struggling in an abusive relationship, said she had previously been “in a long-term, loving, monogamous relationship.” However, it was one that her ‘body begged me to end before it turned into an engagement’.
