The 'White Lotus' star reacted to getting played off in the best way possible, but fans say she was robbed of stage time.

I didn’t think it was going to happen.” “I just want to say I took a lavender bath tonight right before the show and it made me swell up inside my dress and I’m having a hard time speaking,” Coolidge said. Fans protested that Coolidge was given barely a minute to give her speech and suggested producers were overly aggressive in playing her off, especially since some other winners were allotted longer times: Coolidge began fumbling out a written acceptance speech while declaring, “Hold on, wait, wait, I love you,” and thanking various producers and executives and agents.
