Aubrey Plaza appears to swear after wardrobe malfunction on stage

An “annoyed” Aubrey Plaza was caught angrily talking to herself after the White Lotus cast won the 2023 SAG Award for Best Ensemble in a Drama Series.

During Monday’s award ceremony, the cast reunited on stage to accept the last award of the night with F. Murray Abraham giving their acceptance speech.

However, as Plaza stood next to Meghann Fahy, Theo James, and Will Sharpe, Jon Gries could be seen grabbing her by the arm and whispering into her ear.

The actor — who played Greg, Jennifer Coolidge’s villainous husband on the hit HBO series — seemingly pointed out that she was about to suffer a wardrobe malfunction, which caused her to promptly adjust her dress before turning back to Abraham.

But as the actor, 83, sent “a prayer out to the earthquake victims of Syria and Turkey and a prayer for peace in Ukraine and Russia”, he suddenly shouted, “Union forever!,” which had the crowd cheering.

Plaza, 38, then watched as the cast congratulated each other before appearing to swear.

However, it wasn’t clear if her reaction was to Abraham’s speech, Grier pointing out her underboob or another situation.

Along with Sharpe, she was one of the first actors to leave the stage after the big win.

Following the moment, Twitter users were quick to pick up on the actress’s mood.

“What was she annoyed about?” one person questioned while another one asked, “why was aubrey plaza so mad to win for white lotus? #SAGAwards”

A third person pointed out, “On another note, did anyone notice Aubrey Plaza? She seemed REALLY pissed off … there was something real odd about her on stage with the White Lotus team. She even exited the stage quick and alone rather than staying with the cast.”

And a fourth commented, “OK soooo what is going on with Aubrey Plaza and the rest of the White Lotus cast? She looked like she haaaaated being up there and immediately ran off stage while everyone in the cast was congratulating and hugging each other #SAGAwards.”

Amid the social media rumblings, a rep for Plaza did not reply to Page Six for comment.

The actress was arguably the sexiest-dressed attendee on the SAG Awards 2023 red carpet Sunday, where she arrived wearing a metallic bronze Michael Kors gown with a high slit, crisscrossed straps and a skin-baring cutout in front that put her abs and underboob on display.

Some accused Gries of making her uncomfortable by commenting on her cleavage.

“Kinda feeling like Jon Gries didn’t need to do all that and make it a thing ON STAGE like she was fine, she looked hot,” one tweeted, adding, “I think Jon Gries made her paranoid when she had no reason to be because her dress looked fine.”

Chimed in another concerned commenter, “I think that actor said something to Aubrey that was f@@d up. I don’t think anything was wrong with her dress,” before congratulating her on her nearly overshadowed win.

Wrote a third, “death to that man that whispered to aubrey that her dress was falling down her chest because it actually wasn’t and that’s how it was supposed to look and she adjusted it anyways and was embarrassed.”

And a fourth blamed other male members of the “White Lotus” cast, writing, “Aubrey Plaza was upset because those dumb men weren’t making space for her and then one of them was being rude about her dress, like OMG, let her be,” before summing it up with, “Men are annoying.”
