Jesse Williams’ nude scenes from Broadway’s Take Me Out were leaked online, causing his name to trend on Twitter yesterday (and prompting Second Stage Theater to release a statement condemning the audience member who violated their policies).

The leak coincided with Jesse’s appearance on Watch What Happens Live on Monday night, where he was asked about his nude scenes.

Speaking to Andy Cohen, Jesse (who’s been nominated for a Tony Award for his performance) said “Everyone around me [was] going, ‘Are you sure? Nude, nude?’ and everybody makes such a big deal. It’s a body. Once you see it, you realize, whatever. It’s a body. I just have to not make it that big of a deal.”

Andy then asked if being naked on stage is better “when you feel good about your penis,” and Jesse joked, “I would imagine so. I don’t, so I don’t know.”

Following the leak of Jesse’s nude scenes, Second Stage Theater released a statement, saying in part “We are appalled that this policy has been violated and unauthorized footage of our acting company has been posted. It is deeply unfortunate that one audience member chose to disrespect the production, their fellow audience members, and, most importantly, the cast in this manner.”
