Lily James has spoken for the first time about her controversial photos with actor Dominic West.
In October 2020, paparazzi captured pictures of Dominic and Lily kissing during the filming of BBC’s The Pursuit of Love in Rome, with the two looking significantly more at ease than they have previously.
The photos of Dominic without his wedding band as he leaned in to kiss Lily during a romantic dinner were shocking.
More photographs were snapped of the pair riding around Rome on a scooter.
Naturally, the provocative pictures attracted attention from around the world as Lily James’ fans condemned her for “home-wrecking” Dominic and Catherine’s marriage.
The pair got married in 2010 and appeared to be going strong until photographs from Dominic’s trip to Rome surfaced.
Actresses Lily and Pamela Anderson were compared to one another in a new interview to advertise her new Hulu drama series, Pam and Tommy.
Lily told Rolling Stone that she and Pamela have many things in common.
Lily told about her own brush with the gossip rags after addressing Pam’s “brush with the tabloids.”
The paparazzi captured the celebrity kissing her married Pursuit co-star Dominic soon after their split in 2020, which brought a new level of attention.
Lily revealed the news while lifting the lid on the drama, saying: “Women in the public eye have to deal with some kind of difficult situation in their relationship between privacy and being in the tabloids at some point.
“It was a major job. It’s as old as time itself.”
When she was questioned about being the center of a media storm after the photos surfaced, Lily said to the Guardian: “Ach, I’m not going to talk about it. There’s a lot to say, but right now I’m afraid I won’t be able to.”
Following the photographs of Dominic and Lily were published, The Affair star and his wife made a show of demonstrating their marital harmony in an effort to get rid of media attention.
