Maisie Williams Responds to 'Game of Thrones' Fans Uncomfortable With Her Sex Scene

If you were uncomfortable watching Arya Stark have sex for the first time on Game of Thrones, you're apparently not alone. Since the latest episode, "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms," the scene has gone viral and sparked a fan frenzy. But Maisie Williams, the actress behind the fan-favorite character, had the perfect response to one-up any fans who couldn't get over the love scene.

Arya is like our little sister, so when she boldly suggested having sex with Gendry on the eve of the battle, fans went a little crazy. Williams, who has played Arya since she was 12, now plays an 18-year-old, but many Thrones fans were still a bit thrown off at the scene.

Williams put things in perspective for us, though, when she pointed out on Twitter that not only did the world witness the uncomfortable moment, but so did her whole family.

"if u feel uncomfortable just know that my mother and my step dad and my 2 sisters and my 4 brothers have all probably watched this too ahahakillmeehehe," Williams hilariously wrote.

Williams also told Entertainment Weekly that she was allowed to control the amount of skin she wanted to show in the scene, and that initially she thought the whole thing was a prank by showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.

"This is something she's stayed away from, an emotion we've never really seen her engage with. David and Dan were like, ‘It's the end of the world, what else would you have her do?' This may be is a moment where Arya accepts death tomorrow, which she never does — ‘Not Today,'" Williams explained. "So, it was that moment where she says, ‘We're probably going to die tomorrow, I want to know what this feels like before that happens.' It's interesting to see Arya be a bit more human, speak more normally about things people are scared of."

Despite Williams' mature thoughts about the scene, her on-screen sister Sophie Turner had a more humorous approach to Arya's big scene. She took to Instagram to share a hilarious video of herself saying, "In honor of Easter, I guess Game of Thrones wanted the storyline to have a little Easter bunny hop-hop-hopping into that p***y. And that's the tea."

We'll see if Arya, Gendry and the rest of our favorite Game of Thrones characters survive the Battle of Winterfell in next week's episode.
