Nobody Wants This star Justine Lupe has set the record straight about her pregnancy on set after revealing she initially kept the news from her co-stars.
Last month, the Succession actress, 35, who isn’t dating anyone and hasn’t gone public with a partner recently, shared on Instagram that the show “helped me through my first five or so months of pregnancy with so many things. heat’.
She also noted that the cast and crew did not immediately find out about her pregnancy and found out while they were on set.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, Justine opened up about why she didn’t instantly share the big news with her colleagues.
Posting a carousel of pregnancy snaps while on the set of the new romantic comedy, the actress wrote: “I just wanted to make it clear, because my words (I’m sure with good intention) have been chopped up and rearranged into a misleading story.” A few times now, I want to clarify that the cast and crew knew I was pregnant as soon as it was safe to share.
Succession and Nobody Wants This star Justine Lupe set the record straight about her on-set pregnancy in a candid new Instagram post on Monday.
Last month, the 35-year-old actress revealed on Instagram that the cast of Nobody Wants This ‘walked me through my first 5+ months of pregnancy with such warmth’ (pictured on the show’s set with Kristen Bell)
‘As women who have had a baby know, there is a higher risk of miscarriage in the early months of pregnancy, so it is emotionally risky to share too soon.
“I just care to make this clear because EVERY person on this set made sure I was comfortable and taken care of.”
Justine plays Morgan, the sister of Joanne de Bell, in Nobody Wants This.
The series, which premiered on Netflix last month, follows the unlikely love story between an agnostic sex podcast host (Kristen Bell) and a newly single rabbi (Adam Brody).
The show reportedly had 26.2 million viewers in its first 11 days, although Netflix is notoriously opaque about its viewing figures and how it calculates them.
Following its success, the show was renewed for a second season just two weeks after its launch.
She continued to gush about her coworkers, including her on-screen sister, Kristen Bell.
“(Kristen) ran around her living room in a sheet mask screaming in celebration when she found out and vowed to make this experience as comfortable, sweet and smooth as possible,” he recalled.
Justine also said that the show’s creator, Erin Foster, who was also pregnant during the production of the show, gave her ‘a huge hug’ when she heard the news.
“(She) alleviated any concerns I might have had about how to fix it,” the actress explained.
The star then thanked the show’s wardrobe team and cinematographers for helping her manage her pregnancy on set.
“All the @netflix executives on set came up and congratulated me,” he noted. ‘We had a set with FOUR pregnant women!’
The star noted that the cast and crew were not immediately aware of her pregnancy and found out while she was on set: Justine is not known to be dating anyone and has not made her relationship with a partner public in recent times. .
Justine has now spoken openly about why she didn’t instantly share the big news with her colleagues.
After shedding light on the support of her cast and crew, she went on to talk about industry expectations and norms.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel alum added: ‘I say all this because there is a narrative that becoming a mother in this industry is some kind of death sentence.
‘That your career will be over. That there is no room for us as we transition into this new, AWESOME chapter of our lives. This new version of ourselves.
‘And the narrative is not based on anything, there is a long history of this being the case, but I think things are changing!
‘I’ve been lucky enough to watch some of my best friends do some crazy amazing work during pregnancy or as new moms and it’s been hugely expansive.
“It seems silly to react to the headlines being published, but this set made me feel very safe creatively and interpersonally and I think it’s important for women to hear THIS narrative.”
Justine has since given birth to her baby, but has kept details about her new addition under wraps.
Willa Ferreyra-Roy, her character in Succession, is the youngest wife of Connor Roy in Succession.
The couple is seen in the final episode.
Justine has since given birth to her baby, but has not revealed any details about the child.
“Two months getting familiar with the pipe,” she captioned a photo of herself with her baby in a stroller.
