Now, a bombshell new report in The Hollywood Reporter claims Wilson left the popular drama series due to a widespread “toxic” and “hostile” work environment, which was further escalated by showrunner Sarah Treeme cajoling her into doing gratuitous sex scenes.
The environment was very toxic.” Wilson was soon labeled “difficult” for pushing back against this nudity.
When word of this encounter reached back to Wilson, Tierney, and The Affair’s other cast and crew members, Treem tried to defuse the situation with an email condemning sexual harassment.
“But we want to keep that sexy, sexy stuff onscreen.” This did little for Wilson, who subsequently initiated a formal complaint against Showtime that alleged a hostile work environment.
Reiner and Dunham declined to comment for the story, while Treem denies that she ever pressured The Affair’s actors to perform unnecessary sex or nude scenes.
