Jennifer Coolidge “really did like killing” evil gays in The White Lotus
Jennifer Coolidge has revealed that she had no issue with killing the evil gays trying to murder her character, Tanya McQuoid, in The White Lotus.
After managing to take a few of them out in the season two finale, Tanya falls off a yacht, knocks her head on a dinghy and proceeds to drown to death in the Ionian Sea.
In a joint interview with Jeremy Allen White for Variety, she discussed that her character was “stagnant” and that there wasn’t much to prepare “until her ending”. “Mike [White] did tell me that I was going to have a horrible ending,” she continued. “But he said it more like, ‘I’m sorry, Jennifer, but you’re going to have to die.’” Jennifer further explained that “it all felt real” during filming and she genuinely did feel as though a group of evil gays were trying to murder her.
