"Grey's Anatomy" alum Jesse Williams is keeping his cool about the leaked video and pictures of his onstage nude scene in the Broadway play “Take Me Out”.
Take Me Out" is a revival of Richard Greenberg’s take on MLB player Darren Lemming and his coming out as gay, and is mostly filmed in an MLB locker room.
There is nudity involved, but something that is important to the script and not salacious in nature.
Despite a no-phone policy at the Second Stage Theatre, on Monday, a member of the audience managed to shoot and leak some NSFW videos and pictures of Jesse Williams during a full-frontal nude scene.
Said Williams, “I’m not down about it. Our job is to go out there every night, no matter what.”
His co-star, Jesse Taylor Ferguson also spoke on his behalf, saying, “I'm appalled by the disrespect shown to the actors of our company.”
Others have also denigrated the same, and the theater has also tightened security to prevent any further incidents.
Wiliams also continued to say, “Theater is a sacred space, and everybody doesn’t understand that.”
The actor does make a valid point when he also added, “Consent is important, I thought. So, let’s keep that in mind universally.”
