Celebrity Trends | Mary-Louise Parker Lashes Out For Being Pressured to do Nude Scene on Weeds
Celebrity Trends
Mary-Louise Parker is outraged, and rightly so, as she goes on the offensive for being pressured to do a nude scene on the TV show Weeds.
Talking to More magazine, Parker stated, “I didn’t think I needed to be naked. I fought with the director about it, and now I am bitter. I knew it was going to be on the Internet: ‘Mary-Louise shows off her big nipples.’ I wish I hadn’t done that. I was goaded into it.”
One of the executive producers on the show, Roberto Benabib, made a bizarre statement that lends credibility to Parker’s statements.
Benabib said, “We felt at that point in her life, defences had been so thoroughly stripped away. There was a nonchalance to the nudity that informed the scene… I thought it was wonderful, one of the five best scenes Mary-Louise has ever done.”
Do I hear lawsuit here? This guy provides the rope and gallows to do it if Mary-Louise Parker chooses to go that route.
It’s extraordinary to hear him say that her “defences had been so thoroughly stripped away.” That’s what you hear when you listen to horror stories about bizzare cults and mind control.
If you know the history of Hollywood or written about and been involved in the industry like I have, you know these are some of the dark sides of the industry that need to be exposed.
It’s one thing to embrace nudity in a film, knowing the potential consequences and repercussions, it’s another to have someone in a position of authority and who wields power to browbeat you to the point where you have you “senses stripped away.” I think that’s evil. I really mean it.
