Mary-Louise Parker forced to film n-ked shower scene
Actress Mary-Louise Parker is still upset about a n^de scene she did for the finale of the TV series “Weeds” last season.
She claims that she was pressured into doing a scene that included a lingering shot of her breasts while she was bathing.
In an interview for the June issue of More magazine, Parker states that she “didn’t think [she] needed to be n^ked.” She also says that she argued with the director about it and now feels bitter about the experience.
Parker goes on to say that she was fully aware that the scene would be on the internet and that people would be commenting on her body.
She says, “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.”

Parker’s comments about being “goaded” into doing the scene suggest that she was given no choice in the matter and was pressured into doing something she did not want to do.
Roberto Benabib, the co-executive producer of “Weeds,” responded to Parker’s comments by saying that the scene was used to show the vulnerability of her character, Nancy.
He also added that “there was a nonchalance to the n^dty that informed the scene.” It seems that Benabib is suggesting that the n^dty was not gratuitous and was used to serve a specific purpose in the storytelling.
Parker is not the first actress to speak out against being pressured into doing n^de scenes.
Many actresses have come forward in recent years to share their own stories of feeling coerced into doing scenes they were uncomfortable with.
Some have even talked about being threatened with losing their jobs if they did not comply with the director’s demands.
It is important to note that n^dty in film and television can be a controversial topic, especially when it comes to female nudity.
Some argue that it is often gratuitous and unnecessary, while others argue that it can be a powerful tool for storytelling.
Regardless of one’s opinion on the matter, it is clear that actors and actresses should have the right to decide what they are and are not comfortable with when it comes to n^dty on screen.
In recent years, there has been a push for more transparency and accountability when it comes to n^dty on set.
The Time’s Up movement, which was launched in response to the #MeToo movement, has called for more protections for actors and actresses on set, including the use of intimacy coordinators who can help ensure that performers feel safe and comfortable during intimate scenes.
It is worth noting that Parker has been outspoken about her experiences with sexism and harassment in the past.
In a 2018 interview with The New York Times, she talked about being s**ually harassed on set and criticized the industry for not doing enough to address the issue.
