It's not personal, fellas.
It's just a fact of life for Izzy Wouters.
This is the message the Below Deck star has now sent to followers, fans and, heck, even critics on her official Instagram page.
On Tuesday, December 15, the long-time Bravo personality came out as a lesbian, writing alongside two silly photos of herself:
"The face of the straight men who slide into my dm's when I say - HELLO MY NAME IS IZZY AND I AM OUT AND PROUD."
She proceeded to add the following hashtags as well:
"#LankyLezzy #PussyPlease #OutAndProud."
The Below Deck stewardess and deckhand went on to repsharested fans' congratulatory messages in her stories in celebration of the announcement.
"Thank you so much for your support everyone," Wouters said on social media, joking:
"Disclaimer: will still accept money from aplatonic sugar daddy or mummy. I don't discriminate when money is involved."
Okay. That learned a legitimate LOL from us. Well played, Izzy.
Wouters is one of the more popular cast members on this beloved realitiy program.
She quickly turned into a season eight fan favorite after she recently moved from interior to deckhand on Below Deck.
Born in New Zealand and raised in Australia, Wouters entered the yachting industry just four years ago.
She's new to the boating world, yet already making -- pun fully intended here, okay? -- many waves.
"After her first stew job, she was eager to perfect her skills inside and out and took more courses to become a certified yacht master.
"Now, Izzy knows her way around the interior and exterior better than most," her Bravo biography reads.
"Dedicated to her crew and charter guests, Izzy takes her job seriously and hopes to form strong friendships on board."
On Instagram, meanwhile, Wouters often promotes messages of body positivity, hence another reason for her rise in popularity.
“Let’s keep normalising scars and stretch marks and moles and cellulite and hair that hasn’t been brushed for two days and all the things that make us human,” Izzy wrote in one November post.
“The perfect body is the one that you currently have.”
Relatedly, Wouters's fellow Below Deck cast members shared their love for Wouters in the comments section of her, with Eddie Lucas writing:
“Get it girl!! You the best!"
Below Deck airs Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo.
We commend Izzy Wouters for being true to herself and coming out with this strong statement.
She's gonna make some woman out there very lucky.
