Australian actress Samara Weaving asked to be released from a lucrative TV contract after complaining about the show creator's handling of a sex scene, US reports claim.
Variety reports that Weaving, who is the niece of famed actor Hugo Weaving, sparked an investigation into SMILF creator and star Frankie Shaw after being asked to film a sex scene nude while shooting season two of the series, which airs on Stan in Australia.
The Hollywood Reporter also claims Shaw had left video monitors on while filming the sex scene while the set was supposed to be closed, resulting in Weaving reporting the incident to Showtime and SAG-AFTRA.
Weaving, who was eventually allowed to film the scene wearing underwear, also complained to co-star Rosie O'Donnell, who then raised it with an executive at Showtime.
The 26-year-old reportedly told O'Donnell that Shaw had made her "uncomfortable" filming a similar scene in season one.
