essentially a sex tape of her, a co-star, and either a cocktail waitress or waiter (depending on the gender of the co-star) was released when she was nominated for "carol". there was some light dominatrix shit going down in it, so everyone was very, OH MY STARS about it. birdie handled it by creating a really fucking expensive line of lingerie with agent provocateur with a really cheeky campaign, so it kind of died down, but FOR A TIME it was kind of a big deal.
