Many film stars talk about traumatic situations they experienced on the production sets only years later. One of them is Christina Ricci, who only recently decided to speak out and go back in her memory to the times when she took her first steps in the industry.

She made her screen debut when she was only 10 years old, but her greatest popularity was brought to her by the role of Wednesday in Tim Burton’s cult film. Today, as an adult and experienced woman, she is not afraid to set boundaries and talk about unpleasant experiences from the past. In one of the interviews, she confessed that as a teenager, she did not agree to appear in a sex scene. However, the director’s reaction was far from her expectations.

was invited to the program “The View” to talk about working on the set of the series “Yellowjackets”, in which she plays one of the main roles. The actress confessed that despite over 30 years of experience, she had never experienced such support as now from people involved in the production. She said that nowadays young artists can count on being treated with complete loyalty, but when she started her career, nobody cared about her opinion. “It’s amazing to see that they don’t have to go through what we went through when we were their age. They can say, “I don’t want to do this sex scene,” “I won’t be naked.” They can set boundaries that have always been taken away from us — .

She admitted that many years ago she had to face contemptuous glances or words of criticism when she expressed her opinion or reluctance to play a scene. One incident in particular stuck in her mind as she was threatened with a lawsuit.

Ricci spoke about the director’s reaction. She revealed that despite threats, she never received a lawsuit

The actress mentioned that as a teenager she worked on a production set where she was required to act in a certain way in a sex scene. She did not like the idea, so she refused to implement it. She expected dissatisfaction from the director, but did not expect that he would threaten her with a lawsuit. Despite the shocking reaction, she stood firm and ultimately failed in the expected task. The threats also never materialized and the whole unpleasant affair was forgotten. She also mentioned the same situation in an interview with Variety. “What made me uncomfortable was other people on set who were uncomfortable with me standing naked in front of them. I did something I couldn’t today, which was just standing there naked. I said, “You guys make me feel bad, and I should be ashamed,” Ricci said.
