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

Sources claim that Wilson was able to leave the show following an investigation into executive producer Jeffrey Reiner, who, it is claimed, discussed intimate details of filming and showed a picture of a male colleague’s genitalia to Girls creators Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner. Some intimate scenes on the show were shot with a body double – who then sued Showtime in 2017, after being described on a call sheet as “Alison [Wilson’s character’] Sexytime double”.
