In a recent interview with the stylist, the star said she worked closely with the show's intimacy coordinator, Lizzie Talbot, before filming some of Bridgerton's sultry sex scenes.

"You go: "OK, what do I want to show?" What I don't want to show 'what is being scripted and what do I want to add?'She said. "I specifically asked to include specific lines and moments.

Coffran specifically stated that there was one scene where she was "very naked on camera," adding, "That was my idea and my choice."1

"It just felt like the biggest 'f***you' to all the conversations surrounding my body," she added. "It was incredibly empowering.

Coughlan continued to say that she "felt beautiful in that moment."

"I thought: "When I was 80 years old, I wanted to look back on this and remember how I looked!"

"If you have an opinion about me, it's okay, I understand that being on TV and having things that people think and say,"Well, I'm not going to "I have to say," she continued in the post,"but I ask you not to send it to me directly.
