“Shameless” star Emmy Rossum was not having it when a man tried to shame her on Twitter for on-screen nudity. She tweeted that she wanted to get an “I’M SPEAKING” t-shirt after the vice presidential debate, in which Kamala Harris clapped back at Mike Pence for interrupting her several times. A man responded crudely, “Yeah your shirts that say I GET PAID TO GET NAKED ON TV are sold out.”
Emmy Rossum is no stranger to racy sex scenes, and she responded unapologetically: “I get paid to tell stories and life sometimes involves this awesome thing called sex. Maybe you’ve just never had any so you don’t know.” In the past, Emmy has spoken out about the importance of women being able to express their sexuality on screen and why she continues to act in scenes featuring explicit sex. She said, “What I think is so interesting about showing sexuality as part of art is no different than showing any other part of life to inform the art. Sexuality is a part of life, I hope, and it’s interesting that the women on the stage get to write, and we get to show characters.”
