Dominic West, who co-starred with Ruth Wilson in the Showtime series ‘The Affair,’ has confirmed the actress’s previous claims about an uncomfortable on-set situation. In 2020, Wilson stated that she felt compelled to leave the show to ensure her well-being. While West initially declined to comment on the matter, he has now admitted that Wilson’s account is true.
During a recent interview, West acknowledged that he “did experience” the situation that Wilson described. He did not provide further details but stated that Wilson’s claims are “absolutely right.”
It has been speculated that Wilson was pressured to sign a non-disclosure agreement regarding the incident. Wilson had previously expressed discomfort with the numerous sex scenes she had to film in ‘The Affair,’ and she has since spoken out about the awkward and exploitative nature of those scenes. She has noted that filming intimate scenes has evolved since then, with the inclusion of intimacy coordinators to ensure the comfort and safety of actors.
