Rachel Bilson Says Podcast Quip Cost Her a Job in 2023, Details Case in New Interview

She now says the joke was taken out of context by an unnamed, conservative employer.

Overview

  • In a conversation on Nicole Byer’s Why Won’t You Date Me?, Bilson recounted being dropped by a client after a lighthearted remark about her sex life.
  • She described the line as a joke from a casual, friends-style chat that people around her took with humor.
  • Bilson declined to identify the employer and said she was baffled by the decision and unable to defend herself.
  • She had previously said the episode left her in tears and emphasized her need for steady work as a single mother.
  • Since then she says she filters herself more in public comments yet maintains she does not regret being candid and will continue sharing personal experiences.
