Ruth is a phenomenal and talented actress, Luv her 👏🙌💕👍❗

[@oxanasf6369]

I began watching the show because of her (I fell in love with her acting after Luther).

[@spacecomet128]

Good for her, this makes me like Ruth Wilson even more!!

[@HybridDuniya]

She is a really good actor and after watching The affair u can really feel strength of her acting and emotions....really great ...

[@TheDomRunner]

The climax of The affair was so emotional. !! Noah all alone at the end.

[@vlinds7737]

I totally support Ruth Wilson for quitting a series where she was made to feel very uncomfortable! Ruth Wilson was one of the best actresses on that series and she deserved to be respected and listened to! The Affair was one of the best series I have ever seen and I really wanted it to continue past season 5! I agree with the many comments that the tree seen between Noah and Allison seemed more like a rape! I am surprised that her character did not leave and charge Noah after that scene because to me it was a rape! Kudos to Ruth Wilson for quitting the series!

[@lucymontes4602]

I agree! It just shows what “Hollywood” idiot directors would make their amazing actors do for “ratings”. I am SO happy Wilson left. She is a courageous woman for standing up for herself and leaving.

[@vlinds7737]

@@lucymontes4602 Thank you.I am glad you agree!

[@thebabslife]

Yeah that tree scene did feel very yuk and rapey to me, I was quite surprised it happened. I didn't understand how she then said she was pregnant, like what? A lot of sex scenes were unnecessary in that show, specially sex after major disrespect or disagreement, it just felt yuk, and ironically very "unfeministic"

[@alishasrishtee9116]

Yes.. I agree on that!!

[@ocsrc]

The show was about sex. It is called The Affair The title implied sex was a main theme Affairs are about sex

[@bluecollarlit]

I did not feel that the show was about sex, or about affairs. To me, it was about people, and life. And about how individuals handle stuff, and about how to take responsibility and how to be happy. Watching seasons 1-4 on Amazon prime, I thought several times that the people making this show think showing sex is way more important than than it is. Good show, and storytelling. And maybe some folks behind the scenes had emotional problems or psychological issues....

[@dumfriesspearhead7398]

@@bluecollarlit It was about grief as well.

[@winter_s_44]

@@bluecollarlit I thought the same thing. I was watching it thinking this looks like a man wrote it because everyone is defaulting to sex and everything is sex. I get that her arc is that she is using sex to numb her pain, so she is promiscuous, but every sex scene doesn’t need to be full on graphic. You can allude to her having slept with a guy without having to have a drawn out sex scene. This is what people (including the actress) means when she says it isn’t organic to the plot. They were just throwing in full on nudity in every sex scene just to do so. Certain moments it makes sense like the first time we see her with Cole or Noah or if there is a particularly charged scene, but every time they sleep together doesn’t need to be graphic, nor did we need to see that with her sex scene with that creepy guy. That was another pointless scene.

Sarah Treem tried to cajole actors to get naked even if they were uncomfortable or not contractually obligated to. I think she was one of the directors. I can’t even imagine what Wilson went through, and I can see why she filed a report, she stated she did not feel safe.

By the time Ruth left the show I was so invested in these characters I didn't care if there was nudity or not. I'm a guy. The sex scenes definitely helped draw me in but by the time we got to S4 none of the original characters were, in my mind, very sexy anymore. I was addicted to their brokenness and I really wanted to see more of a Happy Alison.

Before knowing about these controversies, I was just re-watching the series and had the same thought about the tree sex scene and other sex scenes. I wondered why there were so many rape-like scenes that went without comment within the show. It's especially disturbing that most of this took place under female leadership.

[@marciapereira8721]

Alison deserved a happier ending for everything that happened alone after the death of her son Gabriel, she always thought that her husband (Cole) blamed everything and that is why he only sought her out for sex. After all, it's not her fault for looking for affection in her arms! It was Cole's fault, who isolated himself and blamed her for everything that happened to them! I'm not saying that what she did is right, but she really deserved to be loved! she exchanged something torn for something that at the end of it was also torn! simply Alison deserved a happier ending !!! who agrees with me ??? ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺

[@audiophileman7047]

Unless you have the contract to review and you were there during discussions about what role Ruth would play, you do not have the information to determine whether Ruth is right or whether she is wrong. Is it possible that there were discussions about the sexuality Ruth would portray that weren't detailed in the contract or were too lengthy to have in the contract? Is it possible that the producers of the show said one thing to get her to do the role and then tried to turn the tables on her to make a more carnal, titillating show at the expense of real, meaningful story development? All I can tell you is that I've been promised things by employers and supervisors in my career that were never delivered and asked to do things that were either unethical or unsafe. I believe Ruth, because money is more important than human dignity when it comes to the business side of making films!

[@bluecollarlit]

Yes, common practice for a certain type of person to make promises to hire someone and then switch the deal. For some people, that's a power trip which is totally inappropriate in the workplace.

Just finished the series and shocked that a show predicated on sex, it’s called the affair for gods sake 😂 wouldn’t have an intimacy expert on set?? Intentional… 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@1927su]

After much thought... even with no pressure from anyone & even if everything was copacetic on set.. I don’t think it would be unusual to feel uncomfortable with so much nudity. And when your a woman with so much obvious acting talent , a woman always has to be wary , in most any job really, that all you’ll really be valued for, is being sexy & not taken seriously for your other attributes & contributions. Yes she is beautiful , but at the end of the day, if she didn’t have EXCEPTIONAL TALENT, sexy only takes one so far. I can’t fault her for jumping out , no matter what did or didn’t go on behind the scenes. All & all tho, great show!! I didn’t get to see it all until 2019. It’s so well done & the casting is superb !

[@latonyadavis3134]

[@whitney4529]

The show had too much sex. I fast forwarded half of the show. The nudity and sex scenes took away from the show. It was ridiculous! Who ever wrote or produced this crap was truly sick!!!! The sex scenes was over kill. The story line was good enough to make me keep watching but I watched none of the sex scenes.

[@BoiYahTfah]

Same, honestly, I started to feel sick. Every episode had multiple explicit scenes, mainly with Ruth. Not to mention when filming there’s like 15 people in the room too. She must have felt so vulnerable.

[@brownigirlpie]

I was disappointed they never pursued her ending. I was hoping Cole would and then he never came back.

[@jcefalo2001]

Me too! I could not wait for Cole to do some digging and find out what happened. Instead they just swept vital details of Ben’s relationship with her under the rug...until the END. What a waste of time.

@@jcefalo2001 Right? I mean I get that the actress wanted off or whatever. She was the show IMHO. I loved her and Cole. Noah and Helen...please Helen just bugged me. Period.

When you have an issue with nudity, why do you sign up for a show called the Affair? What did she think the show was about? Drinking tea in different locations? Maybe they should have asked Sara Shahi who did Sex/Life.

This sex scenes in this show made me so uncomfortable. There we so many of them, and most were unnecessary and forced. It’s like they had a target of how many sex scenes they can fit in a season. The show runner is sick in the head, worst of all she’s a woman.🤢

[@gracie4932]

I agree, apart from your sexism at the end. The gender of the director doesn’t matter wtf

[@winter_s_44]

I just now binged whole series and my persistent thought was: “just too much unnecessary graphic sex scenes.” I am Not going to say they were irrelevant to her character because her arc is that she is using sexual experiences to escape her pain so we have to see her being promiscuous which means yes, she will be having more sex than other female costars, but does every scene need to be graphic? You can allude to the fact that she had sex without every scene having to be a graphic full on nude sex scene. It was so obvious it was there just for titillation and ratings and not storytelling and if this many people noticed it was “too much,” that means what they were doing was transparent.

@@brownigirlpie Ruth and her friends are suing the network and the cast and crew. She and her body double were hired to do a role that had sex scenes and nudity in every episode. She took the role & signed the contract and took the money saying that she would do what was required and then she didn't do anything that she said she would It would be like applying for a job in shipping and receiving and then once you got the job saying " Oh no, I don't unload trucks " When you look at acting when you look at men there are certain exercises that you have to do as part of your training And once you get out into the real world you are expected to do those same roles For men the two things that you will see almost every single male actor has done number one, dress as a woman Number two play the part of a gay man For women the main part that you are called to play at least some of the time is being nude and doing sex scenes Real actresses who are professional do these roles without hesitation and without any problems And what Ruth did is not just wrong but it is a slap in the face to the actresses like Maura Tierney who not only did everything required but she did a performance that was an Oscar level performance Her final scene was the best performance I can ever remember in any show or movie I cried That is what being a great actress and doing what is required by the role produces for the audience , an emotional response that is so dramatic you never forget it. You forget you are watching a show and lose yourself in the show, forgetting about where you are and what is happening around you. This is why you become an actress, to have this powerful an effect on the audience. Suing your fellow actresses is wrongful and spiteful and says everything that you need to know about that person.

[@brownigirlpie]

Regardless of what she did or didn't do with regard to her contract-this is a social media site. A public entity. I don't need to know about the workings of someone's employment contract. It's public shaming. There are laws in this country that protect people. Even public people. Quite frankly, I don't think you are being very professional.

[@ocsrc]

@@brownigirlpie If I applied for a job in a company in the shipping and receiving department and I signed a contract and they said that unloading trucks was a primary part of my job, and I told the company that would not be an issue, then in week 3 of my employment I suddenly said I would not unload trucks any more, they would fire me for cause, and if I went to the department of labor and went to court to try and get unemployment they would deny my claim, with cause. She did exactly the same thing. She was hired to do specific tasks and signed a contract and then broke her contact, demanded more money, demanded they hire someone hostile to the company, demanded they hire a body double, who also signed a contract saying that she would do specific tasks and then all three of them sued the company their fellow cast members and crew and bad mouth them all in the press trying to destroy the companies and the cast members ability to make a living. This is unforgivable This is not shaming this is fact this is what she did and this is not an honorable person This is the worst kind of person if it were my choice I would never hire her I would never work with her
