Clever use of the word “nudity” to get me to click on my first-ever _Game of Thrones_ discussion topic. 🆒 Since I don’t watch or follow the show, I am probably missing many important details but, from the context clues I was able to pick up on in the other thread, it seems to me that @ **SenorBeef’s** representation of the situation as: > [@Game of Thrones 6.03 "Oathbreaker" 5/8/2016 \[Show discussion\]](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-of-thrones-6-03-oathbreaker-5-8-2016-show-discussion/754345/269): > > She signed onto the job knowing nudity was a significant part of the role. She went along with that until she had enough clout to be irreplacable, **at which point she told them she would no longer do what she agreed to do.** … is false. ISTM that a more accurate representation of the situation is that Ms. Clarke signed a contract that obliged her to do nude scenes, and she fulfilled the terms of her contract in good faith. And then, the contract obliging her to do nude scenes expired, and she didn’t want to do it any more. But, the show continued to be on the air, and the producers wanted to bring her back. Which meant that it was time to sign a new contract. At which point, she got her _new_ contract to stipulate that which she had the leverage to negotiate, just like everybody else walking the earth. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/emilia-clarke-nudity-got-contracts-etc/754605)._
