A couple of weeks ago, actor Rachel Bilson got super candid on the topic of sex on the Women On Top podcast. Now she's revealing her honesty and openness cost her a gig.
On the May 3 podcast, Bilson broke down her preferences on sex positions, starting with her favorite—missionary.
"I like missionary. I've learned that if you want to have an orgasm during sex, you have to be on top."
"Missionary is my favorite. I want to be f**king manhandled."
Turns out, Bilson's hot comments landed her in hot water.
Earlier this week, she revealed on her own podcast Broad Ideas her confessions resulted in her losing a job.
"It's been an interesting week, guys."
"This is the first time it's ever happened to me in my professional life that I lost a job this week because of things that were said."
The OC star continued:
"A job got taken away from me because I was speaking candidly and openly about sex in a humorous way on our friend's podcast."
"I basically got a job, that I already had, pulled from me because I was speaking openly about sex."
Bilson said she was absolutely baffled at what transpired.
"A single mom, a woman, lost a job because they were being candid and honest and the subject was sex."
"I've been floored honestly. Everything was set in motion and I lost the job. It sucks."
People on social media were likewise perplexed over the incident.
\u201c@nypost How can somebody be fired for saying just a "word" and mostly about their private life? Does it matters to anybody else than her and her intimate partners? She should sue the company over discrimination, improper censorship and intrusion into privacity.\u201d— New York Post (@New York Post) 1684426861
\u201c@nypost Was she an elementary school teacher? That seems to be just normal talk there.\u201d— New York Post (@New York Post) 1684426861
\u201c@nypost Woman loses job after confessing she wants to have normal sex\u201d— New York Post (@New York Post) 1684426861
\u201c@nypost That's normal. Was she applying for a job as a nun?\u201d— New York Post (@New York Post) 1684426861
\u201c@nypost She lost a job because she expressed herself . In this day and age good for her and even better she found a real man\u201d— New York Post (@New York Post) 1684426861
\u201c@nypost A woman admitted she enjoys sex with a man and losses her job.\n\nOk, \ud83e\udd21\ud83c\udf0f\u201d— New York Post (@New York Post) 1684426861
\u201c@nypost Why would your personal preference in bed that has zero to do with harming or affecting anyone else get you fired? That's nonsense.\u201d— New York Post (@New York Post) 1684426861
\u201c@THR That\u2019s a dumb way and reason to lose a job.\u201d— The Hollywood Reporter (@The Hollywood Reporter) 1684469043
\u201c@PageSix god forbid women do anything\u201d— Page Six (@Page Six) 1684425798
A few, however, felt some things are just better left unsaid.
\u201c@THR Just like many she is finding out that she has to take responsibility about what she says on social media and in public joking or not. Companies don't have to like it or put up with it. That is their perogative.\u201d— The Hollywood Reporter (@The Hollywood Reporter) 1684469043
\u201c@PageSix It's great to be candid, but maybe some things are better left unsaid.\ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2640\ufe0f\u201d— Page Six (@Page Six) 1684425798
\u201c@cyberekt @nypost @nypost Wow, I didn't realize being unprofessional and promoting non-consensual behavior was a desirable trait in the workplace.\u201d— New York Post (@New York Post) 1684426861
While justifiably bewildered, Bilson doesn't regret speaking on the topic.
"I haven't said anything inappropriate!"
But she did state that perhaps she could have expressed things differently.
"Choice of language."
"If I could go back, now knowing I lost a job, maybe I would say it differently."
She finished:
"But I still wouldn't not say it."
