‘The Affair’ Body Double Sues, Claims She Was Sexually Harassed
A woman who says that she worked as the body double for Ruth Wilson on the Showtime series “The Affair” is suing the cable outlet, claiming she suffered sexual harassment and was canned from her job after complaining about it.
In the lawsuit, Ashlynn Alexander — who says that she served as Wilson’s body double from October 2013 until September 2015 — says that an assistant director on the show referred to her as “Alison Sexytime Double” on a call sheet, an apparent reference to Wilson’s character, Alison Bailey.
According to Alexander, when she confronted him [the assistant director] about the reference, he “admitted that his language on the call sheet was inappropriate and then belittled Ms. Alexander, stating that she could be easily replaced.”
