Jennifer Coolidge has addressed the “high-end gays” trying to kill her character, Tanya McQuoid, in the season two finale of The White Lotus.
After managing to take a few of them out, Tanya falls off a yacht, knocks her head on a dinghy and proceeds to drown to death in the Ionian Sea.
Coolidge has since revealed that she “wasn’t happy” about the fate her character was met with. “But Mike White’s a genius — I knew my ending would be good,” she told Variety. “When he told me I was going to die, he didn’t have the ending yet, he hadn’t completely orchestrated it out.
I was kind of bummed, but Mike knows how to tell a story better than anyone I know, so I knew I just had to trust it. You can’t talk Mike White out of anything, so I’ll just have to go on some different adventures this year and maybe go visit Mike when they’re filming [Season 3].” Anyone who has used social media over the last few days will be familiar with one of the scenes, which sees Tanya plead for help as “these gays” try to murder her.
