Jennifer Coolidge Never Expected Her Hilarious Line In White Lotus Season 2 Would Become A Meme

June 2024 · 2 minute read

In an interview with Variety, Jennifer Coolidge spoke about her work in the Season 2 finale, and in the process, revealed her awareness of the line “these gays, they’re trying to murder me” becoming a meme, noting that she had been sent some of them in the morning after the episode’s release.

Coolidge went on to add that she had no idea of the line’s meme potential during shooting, and isn’t the type to think of such things due to how focused she is when shooting. “That was one of the last scenes I filmed for the show, and I was seasick and stuff,” she told Variety. “There were a lot of logical things I should have come up with. There’s so many things people are sending me. [When filming], you’re not thinking memes down the line for some reason. Maybe other people on the show were, but I wasn’t savvy enough to spot them.”

The running around she had to do prior to shooting the scene also didn’t help, as Coolidge noted that the rocking motion of the boat exacerbated her natural reaction to it. She noted that she had spoke to series creator Mike White about never wanting to be on a boat again after the boat scenes in the show’s first season.
