Dolly Parton has denied reports that she's gay and in a relationship with her childhood friend.
The 73-year-old singer spoke about her close friendship with Judy Ogle and shut down reports that they were anything more than platonic.
"So people say that ? because you can't really have a great relationship with a woman," she said.
"I'm not gay, but I have so many gay friends and I accept everybody for who they are."
Ogle and Parton have been best friends for 64 years.
