Speaking about her portrayal of Villanelle in an April 2021 interview with Vulture, Comer said “I know Villanelle has really resonated with the LGBT community. The fact that she's unapologetically herself and free with her sexuality – her sexuality was something I never questioned and always celebrated. That's what's so refreshing. It's just a part of her. That's what I love about her."
