Speaking with ” The View’s” hosts, Ricci explained that nowadays, young actresses are getting more vocal about what they want and how they want their sex scenes to be like.

If they do not want to do a sex scene or go naked onscreen, all they have to do is say it. Ricci said she’s happy with how the system has changed because now, actresses “can set boundaries.”

“It’s amazing to see they don’t necessarily have to go through the things that we had to go through,” said Ricci before adding, “They’re able to say, ‘I don’t want to do this sex scene. I’m not going to be naked.’ They can set boundaries for themselves that we were never allowed to do.”

After sharing her amazement, the next information that came out of Ricci’s mouth was not just unexpected but shocking.

In the bid to explain why she was that much impressed with the industry’s latest development, the actress said, “Someone threatened to sue me once because I didn’t want to do this sex scene in a certain way.”

She went on to add, “It’s just really changed and it’s great to see.”
