“Let’s just clear this up one last time, once and for all: Harry’s heterosexual,” she writes in the book, via Page Six.
“He is not a gay man in any way, shape or form, not that there’s anything wrong with that,” she continued to write.
She also said she never heard those rumors until 2014, when she joined the Bravo TV show.
“I just figured b–ches will say anything to get my hackles up, so it never concerned me. My reaction was always more, ‘why you mad, boo?’”
She added that “every husband’s sexuality was questioned at some point on that show.”
“When you’re a good-looking man in Hollywood with a good sense of style, that adds up to ‘is he gay?’” Lisa continued.
Harry played an openly gay character in 1982′s Making Love, and has faced rumors ever since.
“Mainstream films about gay men are still rare today, but back then it was unheard of,” Lisa said of his acting choice.
“He does what rings true to him. It was something that he felt was absolutely necessary to do. Harry made a brave decision, and it bit him in the a–,” claiming he was “blacklisted for several years afterward,” and it took him 40 years to book 2023′s 80 for Brady.
“To this day, Harry says he would do Making Love all over again because it was so impactful. Harry changed so many people’s lives, and that’s why he wouldn’t have it any other way.”
Lisa also wrote that the two are “unbothered” by the rumors and have a “great deal of trust.”
“I would be shocked if I ever found out he was having an affair,” she wrote in the book.
The two got married in 1997 and welcomed two daughters, Delilah Belle and Amelia Gray.
Lisa also called out Andy Cohen for putting private messages in his book.
