Ruth Wilson left The Affair because of ‘too many sex scenes’

The one thing all parties can agree on was that in September 2016, Lena Dunham and Girls producer Jenni Konner bumped into crew members from The Affair, including Reiner, at a bar in Montauk, New York. Konner eventually wrote a blind item on her and Dunham’s now-defunct website Lenny Letter about the night, during which she claims Reiner “seemed very drunk,” lauded Dunham’s comfort with nude scenes, and allegedly asked if she’d try to persuade Wilson to acquiesce to more nudity. Konner claims that Reiner pulled out his phone to show Dunham a graphic picture of what sources add was a nude male actor working as a body double in a compromising position with actress Maura Tierney.
