The "Yellowjackets" star opened up about the shocking moment while discussing how the dynamic in Hollywood has changed since she first started her acting career.
"It's really great. Us older ladies talk about it all the time. It's amazing to see that they don't necessarily have to go through the things we had to go through. They're able to say, 'I don't want to do this sex scene,' 'I'm not going to be naked,'" Ricci explained during an appearance on "The View."

"They can set boundaries for themselves that we were never allowed to do. Someone threatened to sue me once because I didn't want to do this sex scene in a certain way. It's really changed, and it's great to see."
Ricci’s reps did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

"It’s a very safe environment. I’m very fortunate that I am coming up during a time where there is so much thought in this process, and we now have intimacy coordinators," Sweeney told the media outlet.

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"The thing that made me more uncomfortable was other people being uncomfortable with me being naked. So what I did — and you probably wouldn’t be allowed to do this now — I just stayed naked. I was like, ‘Don’t make me feel weird, like I’m the person who has to be ashamed.’ I would talk to crew members naked," she explained.
