Carrie Coon Responds to Meghan McCain's Criticism of 'The White Lotus' Role

The actress addressed the political commentator's remarks in a pointed interview, highlighting their ongoing ideological clash over the portrayal of politically charged characters.

Carrie Coon, in a recent interview with Variety, responded to Meghan McCain's criticism of her character on 'The White Lotus,' stating she was glad McCain watched the show.
The feud between Coon and McCain began in March, fueled by their opposing political views and public exchanges on social media and in interviews.
McCain took issue with a scene where Coon's character, Laurie, flashed hotel staff, framing it as a negative portrayal of progressive values in contrast to a conservative character in the show.
Coon plays a Democrat in the HBO series, with the storyline exploring political and ideological divides during a trip to Thailand with two friends, one of whom is implied to support Trump.
The ongoing public clash highlights broader cultural debates about political identity, media representation, and the intersection of entertainment and political discourse.
