Following her stay at the White Lotus, Meghann Fahy feels bad for kicking Jennifer Coolidge while she was down.
The Emmy Award nominee recently recalled filming the Season 2 finale of Mike White‘s hit HBO series and accidentally kicking her co-star in the scene where Fahy’s Daphne discovered the dead body of Coolidge’s Tanya floating in the ocean.
“She did a lot of actually floating down in water,” she noted on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “And when we were shooting it, I did actually kick her in the face at one point. I felt so bad.
“They wanted to get a shot under the water of my foot making contact with her body, but I couldn’t see where her body was,” explained Fahy. “So she was just like, floating, waiting for my foot to like enter her general space. And I hit her in the face by accident.”
Fahy said that Coolidge took it like a champ. “She came up out of the water and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I’m so sorry,'” recounted Fahy. “And she was like, ‘Hey, man. You got to just go for it. Don’t worry about me.'”
Coolidge’s shocking departure from The White Lotus in the Season 2 finale episode ‘Arrivederci’ earned the actress her second Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, after winning her first for Season 1.
The actress beat out Fahy for the Emmy, as well as their co-stars Aubrey Plaza, Simona Tabasco and Sabrina Impacciatore, who were also nominated in the same category.
With Season 3 of The White Lotus debuting on HBO in 2025, Natasha Rothwell reprises her Season 1 character Belinda for the Thailand-set installment. New cast members include Parker Posey, Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Walton Goggins, Michelle Monaghan, Jason Isaacs, Aimee Lou Wood, Lalisa Manobal and more.
