Dominic West says Ruth Wilson was 'absolutely right' when she detailed how she had to 'protect herself' while filming The Affair - amid claims she quit show over 'gratuitous sex scenes'


The actress previously starred on the showtime drama from 2014 to 2018, but reportedly quit the show over the number of gratuitous sex scenes she had to film.

It was claimed in 2019 that Ruth, who earned a Golden Globe for her role as Alison Lockhart, abrupt exit was due to her concerns over the amount of gratuitous sex scenes. In a lengthy rebuttal she posted on Deadline, Treem wrote that the frequency of the nude scenes were required due to the 'Rashomon-style' narrative device that told the same story twice, though each time from the differing perspectives of the show's characters. Treem acknowledged that she had numerous disagreements with Wilson over several nude scenes, including the one in which she and her character's married lover, Noah, who was played by Dominic West, have 'aggressive' sex against a tree.
