She, however, was able to play the part without compromising her faith. She revealed in an interview with an international publication that she didn\u2019t play the sex scenes herself. According to her, a body double played the part and an intimacy director Ita O\u2019Brien was on set to ensure that she was comfortable with how her character would appear on screen. There was also a therapist on hand to support the cast and crew in dealing with the show\u2019s sensitive topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018I May Destroy You\u2019 depiction of the need to ask for help, find support structures, and lean on strong friendships has resonated with audiences and critics alike. The show received positive reviews from critics and sits at #23 on Rotten Tomatoes Best TV of 2020 with a 97% critics rating. The show airs every Wednesday night on Showmax and 1Magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Originally published on Thisday<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Vanessa Obioha Weruchie Opia, the daughter of veteran broadcaster and longtime \u2018Nightline\u2019 host, Ruth Benamaisia Opia, stars alongside BAFTA winner Michaela Coel (Chewing Gum) in \u2018I May Destroy You\u2019, the acclaimed HBO\u2019s Drama of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2732,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[6],"tags":[757,758,759,756],"class_list":["post-2724","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment-art-culture","tag-hbo","tag-nigerian-actress","tag-ruth-benamaisia-opia","tag-weruche-opia"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
