‘The White Lotus’: Leslie Bibb Reveals That Trump Scene Was Written in 2022 and Explains Why Mike White ‘Writes Great Women’


"The White Lotus" star Leslie Bibb revealed that the latest episode's scene discussing Trump was written in 2022, making it "randomly current."

For a tight-knit group of women like Kate ( Leslie Bibb), Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan) and Laurie (Carrie Coon), taking a trip to Thailand is the perfect opportunity to escape reality for a little while and unplug. Bibb reveals that White actually wrote the scene back in 2022, since the season was originally set to be filmed in January 2023 before the SAG-AFTRA strike happened. With the split nature of the country following November’s presidential election, Bibb believes that this dinner scene speaks to the ongoing fractures that are currently affecting relationships.
