Penn Badgley’s wife, Domino Kirke-Badgley, addresses ongoing public reaction to the actor’s decision to stop filming sex scenes. Nearly three years after Badgley first discussed his position, she says she still receives messages from fans and responds to the questions raised by his comments.
Both outlets describe the same backdrop: Badgley drew widespread attention in 2023 after saying he no longer wanted to participate in intimate scenes. In her remarks, Kirke-Badgley explains why she supported his choice and the reasoning behind her stance, framing her support in terms of her perspective on the decision.
While the coverage focuses on her continued engagement with fan reactions and her support for her husband, the outlets differ mainly in how they describe the controversy—one highlighting that she “sets the record straight,” and the other characterizing the decision as “controversial.” Overall, both accounts center on Badgley’s 2023 explanation and Kirke-Badgley’s later defense amid continued discussion.
