Paloma Faith reveals she took part in a topless lesbian sex scene in arthouse film for £250 because she couldn’t make her rent
Paloma Faith revealed she once took part in a lesbian sex scene for £250 so that she could make her rent.
The singer, 38, reflected on her experience in an Instagram live last Wednesday, as she detailed taking part in the topless scene for an arthouse film.
Of how she came to work on the film, she explained: ‘I was with a woman once but only from the waist up and it was when I couldn’t make my rent.

‘An artist asked me if I would be in an art film, doing stereotypical lesbian stuff with a woman.’
Describing her scene partner as ‘awe-inspiringly gorgeous’, Paloma admitted that she found working on the film ‘was hot.’
Paloma went on to explain her reasoning for joining the project, as she added: ‘I got £250 for it, which is what I needed to cover my rent. I was going to get evicted at the time.’

The singer can currently be seen on screens in a very different role, as she plays villain Bet Sykes in the Batman spin-off series Pennyworth.
Set in 1960s London, the series charts the story of Alfred Pennyworth (Jack Bannon), a former special-forces soldier living in London and how he came to work for Bruce Wayne’s (Batman’s) father.
Pennyworth premiered last summer with the first series consisting of 10 episodes which were well-received by critics.

Series 2 of Pennyworth will again consist of ten episodes with a release date planned for later this year.
Paloma previously admitted that during filming of the first series, she sometimes found it difficult to switch-off her character at the end of the day.
The hitmaker told The Mirror she made a threat against her neighbour’s dog in an argument and realised it was her character Bet who was talking.
She said: ‘I recently got into an argument with my next-door neighbour and told him I was gonna kill his dog.
‘And I realised afterwards that I hadn’t got out of character yet, and that’s not really my natural behaviour.
‘And then my boyfriend was like, ‘That’s really emasculating’. Now I’m creating bad relations with people who live on my street.’
