Patrick Schwarzenegger’s fiancée, Abby Champion, was left in shock after watching a particularly shocking and provocative scene from The White Lotus season 3. During his appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Schwarzenegger revealed that he kept all the season’s twists under wraps from Champion, including the incestuous scene involving his character Saxon and Sam Nivola’s character, Lochlan. Despite her constant nagging for spoilers, Schwarzenegger refused to reveal anything, explaining that sharing such secrets could get him fired by the show’s creator, Mike White.
The shocking scene, which aired in episodes 5 and 6, involved a drunken night of partying where Saxon kisses Lochlan and even receives a handjob from him. This left Champion stunned, with her immediate reaction being, “You got with your brother?!”
While Schwarzenegger was tight-lipped about the twists, Nivola, who played his onscreen brother, had a slightly different experience. He admitted that he shared the secret with his parents but hadn’t told his sister, as she’s bad at keeping secrets. He also told his girlfriend, Iris Apatow, who was on set during the shoot, but made it clear that he was under strict NDA contracts and was fearful of getting sued by HBO for spilling any details.
The controversial moments in The White Lotus continue to spark reactions, and the season is available for streaming on Max.
