""I don't know if I should say this or not, but I know that the internet had this big thing that went on about... that this is really, like, a lesbian love story," she said. "I'm just wondering why Disney didn't wanna follow up with the number two, 'cause 100%, it seems like it would've gone in a great direction for the sequel.""
""We've always thought that there could have been an LGBTQ underlying thing there, but we're not sure.""
""I personally believe that Jennifer Stone would be a really interesting character if she was married to a woman and she was the principal of a school," she told PAPER."
Hilary Duff expressed interest in revisiting Cadet Kelly with an eye toward exploring the film's sapphic undertones. Cadet Kelly follows a carefree high schooler forced to attend military school after her stepfather becomes a commandant, creating conflict with Cadet Captain Jennifer Stone. Many viewers have interpreted romantic tension between Kelly and Captain Stone as lesbian subtext. Duff noted the internet theory and questioned why Disney never produced a sequel that could have expanded that storyline. Christy Carlson Romano has also acknowledged possible LGBTQ subtext and imagined Jennifer Stone as a woman married and serving as a school principal. Duff additionally rewatched scenes from A Cinderella Story.
