The actor and single mom said she cried after losing a role this week because of her recent public comments about loving missionary sex and being manhandled.
Well! Now she’s talking about talking about sex, specifically about how doing so cost her an unspecified role in an unspecified project that she had been cast in, which left her “baffled.”
“This is the first time it’s ever happened to me in my professional life … I lost a job this week because of things that were said and then spun in the press,” she said on the most recentepisode. Bilson attributed the about-face specifically to her comments about loving missionary and wanting to be manhandled. “Because that specific line was pulled and it made it sound a certain way, I didn’t even have a chance to defend myself, I didn’t have a chance to speak about it,” she said.
Bilson chalked the situation up to “clickbait” repeatedly, saying, “I think it was a conservative brand when it came to light, and they said they weren’t comfortable with that headline [about being manhandled] and if they keep Googling they’ll see the other things I’ve commented on, which was orgasms, and I’m just like, I feel like it’s discrimination…I was floored. I cried.” She said the decision made her feel “shamed by this company.
Bilson denied that vulgarity was her brand, message, or narrative, but she did concede: “I just don’t want such a stigma or things to be so taboo when everybody talks about this with your girlfriends, or maybe some people don’t. That’s fine, that’s a different…whatever. But like this is what we do and we want to be accessible and relatable because we’re human.”Lexie Moreland/WWD via Getty Images
