Irish actor Sharon Horgan says she took “revenge” on an ex-boyfriend who cheated on her by casting the woman he cheated with as an extra. She describes making sure that woman was “in on it,” framing the decision as personally satisfying.
The reports are largely aligned on the core detail: Horgan’s on-screen revenge is tied to using her casting choices to target the woman involved in the earlier relationship. The Independent highlights the premise of “on-screen revenge” and focuses on Horgan’s framing of it as “the best fun,” while Mail Online and the Daily Mail both lead with the same basic claim that she cast the ex’s partner as an extra, emphasizing the revenge aspect in their headlines.
All three outlets treat the story as a personal anecdote from Horgan, not as a broader public controversy, and differ mainly in how prominently they foreground the “fun” element versus the revenge mechanism.
