A heated back-and-forth between actress Carrie Coon and political commentator Meghan McCain recently got worse after McCain criticized Coon’s role in HBO’s The White Lotus. Their argument started because they saw a storyline in the show differently,

“You originally found out that her daughter was actually non-binary, maybe trans, and going by they/them,” star Carrie Coon, who plays Laurie, revealed in an interview with Harper's Bazar. In the final cut, all we know about Laurie is that she's divorced, struggling at work, and has a daughter, but the original story was a bit more complex.

Among the show’s many standout stars was New York City-based actress Carrie Coon. She played Laurie, a recently divorced corporate lawyer, on a girls' trip with two of her longtime girlfriends: Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan), a Hollywood actress; and Kate (Leslie Bibb), a wealthy Texan.
