hetbaiting

When a closeted celebrity is put into stunts, headlines, relationships/bearding in order to appear heterosexual.

‘Hetbaiting’ is selling a majority straight fanbase the unattainable but possible fantasy of being with this celebrity.
“No, they’re not straight. They were told their career would be over if they were queer, so they had to hetbait for years before they came out.”

“Maybe he isn’t queerbaiting and instead queerflagging? I think he may be forced to participate in hetbaiting due to his fanbase. That makes more sense.”

“She happily came out as a lesbian after years of being confirmed to be bisexual and only seen with men. Hetbaiting at its finest.”

“Real people can’t queerbait. But there is lots of money to be made from heterosexuality. Their PR team hetbaited this celebrity for years while they got accused of queerbaiting. How sad.”

When we knocked on Mike's door to see if he would like to join us on a trip to the local pub, all we heard was a panicked shuffling of sand and a muffled yell of "Go away! I'm Jetbaiting!"
