LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Aubrey Plaza looked extremely annoyed and angry on the SAG Awards 2023 stage as White Lotus' cast won the Award for Best Ensemble in a Drama Series. Jon Gries who was on the stage along with her has now revealed the reason behind her reaction. 

The actor who portrayed the role of Tanya McQuoid in 'White Lotus' claimed that she was blocked by 15 people in front of her and then he told her to “look to the front.” He then told her, “You might want to fix that first,” referring to the underboob revealing which could have led to a major wardrobe malfunction, as per Page Six.

“I think what she was intimating is why would that be a problem if my nipple is showing. That’s her humor — She has that dry, dead-pan wit; that’s her biting wit," said the actor. Gries also texted Plaza if she is upset after the clip went viral. “You weren’t really upset?” he texted to which she replied, “No! Not at all!." It seems that the 38-year-old actress apparently told him that he had “saved” her from a wardrobe malfunction.
