Sam Heughan Claims ‘Outlander’ Producers ‘Betrayed His Trust’ During Season 1’s Sexual Assault Scene: ‘I Pushed Back’

Outlander star Sam Heughan has reflected on filming character Jamie Fraser’s difficult sexual assault.
“This wasn’t a moment where I felt that being naked would add to the horror of what Jamie undergoes in that castle dungeon as a form of punishment, subjugation, and humiliation,” Heughan, 42, wrote in his Waypoints memoir, according to an excerpt published by Insider, noting the STARZ creative team insisted that he should be nude.

Neither the Outlander creative team nor STARZ have publicly addressed Heughan’s claims, which were published in his memoir that was released on Tuesday, October 25. The A Princess for Christmas actor has previously been outspoken about being uncomfortable during explicit Outlander scenes, leading him to hire an
