Rihanna is a showbiz sensation who has gotten up to all kinds of shenanigans in music videos, but she clearly wasn’t prepared for the awkwardness that came with watching her own sex scene in her major TV acting debut.
Viewers can attest to the fact that Rihanna pulled off the sex scene like an acting pro without giving a hint of personal embarrassment; evidently she saved her cringing for when she was watching the episode.
Marion Crane was her first significant TV acting role, and she clearly put herself out there in filming.
While she has appeared on television in the past, it has always been as herself rather than as a different character.
