Catherine Missal

Catherine "Cat" Missal is an American actress known for her role as Bree, the college best friend of lead Lucy Albright, across three seasons of Tell Me Lies (2022). In February 2026, shortly after the series finale aired, she publicly confirmed that she is gay in a Teen Vogue interview, remarking, "Well, I am gay, so thank God," while seated beside her partner, Jess Panneton — the first time she had formally spoken about her sexuality and relationship in the press. Missal, who uses she/they pronouns, shared that she and Panneton met at a drag show in West Hollywood, describing the encounter as feeling "kismet," and that the couple now lives together in California with their two cats, Chicken and Bunny. While she has generally kept her personal life private, her comments highlighted the contrast between her own stable relationship and the often turbulent, toxic dynamics portrayed on Tell Me Lies, offering a more grounded perspective on identity and connection beyond the series.
