According to Deadline, the stunt in question saw Lilly having to roll off a tree branch, a moment which occurs in the show’s sixth and final season. She added that she was harnessed to the branch eliminating any chance of falling.

However, Lilly said the “misogynistic” coordinator was angry that she had asked to do the stunt herself instead of hiring a stuntwoman. So, when she asked to have moleskin – a light fabric used to prevent abrasions – wrapped around her forearms, he refused, insisting that it would be visible in the take. (Lilly has alleged that this was a lie: “It wouldn’t show on screen.”)

The actress proceeded to film the stunt bare-armed, which meant that more and more of skin was ripped from her arms after each take. The coordinator witnessed this, but again refused to apply the protective fabric to her arms. Instead, he had New Skin – a liquid-bandage brand – painfully applied to Lilly’s wounds, before sending her back up the tree to do the stunt all over again.

“I felt it was him saying, ‘I’m going to put you in your place for standing up to me,’” she said. “It was either cow to his power or hurt myself.

“I was in my 20s then. Now, I would probably back down.”
