While the show was overall praised, a few elements were called out for leaving people disturbed at its sight. But who knew, that filming those scenes would be equally difficult for the stars involved?
According to a recent revelation, one such scene came to light surrounding Claudia Doumit’s character Victoria Neuman. After eagle-eyed fans spotted one NSFW scene from The Boys where Doumit broke character, trying not to cringe or laugh – Eric Kripke came clean, revealing how Doumit’s reaction to the disgusting scene was completely real.
Fans Spot an NSFW Scene From The Boys Where Claudia Doumit Broke Character
Amazon Prime’s The Boys has completely shattered the generally-accepted heroism often portrayed in superhero genres, with its unapologetically dark and gritty take on the show. Starring Antony Starr, Chace Crawford, Karl Urban, Claudia Doumit, and more, Eric Kripke’s show based on the comic series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, explored power dynamics, moral ambiguity, and the consequences of unchecked authority.
But while the show entertained audiences with its redefined superhero narrative, there were a few aspects that truly disturbed fans. So much so, that one eagle-eyed netizen even noticed how Claudia Doumit, who plays Victoria Neuman in the series, expressed a similar reaction to the scene. According to the NSFW video shared on X, where Victoria receives a file that contains a disturbing image, one fan pointed out how Doumit broke her character in that scene.
Certainly, much like the sequence shocked fans, even Doumit appeared to exhibit a similar reaction to it. Despite her character Victoria Neuman known for being outspoken and seemingly righteous, this particular scene almost saw the actress behind the character break her role, out of sheer disbelief and cringe.
