The latest episode of The White Lotus has sent shockwaves through fans with a scene that even made Patrick Schwarzenegger nearly throw up while filming.
In episode 5, titled “Full Moon Party,” the HBO series took its dark and scandalous themes to a new level when two brothers—Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger) and Lochlan (Sam Nivola)—kiss after being dared by a group of partygoers.
While The White Lotus has never shied away from taboo and provocative storylines, this incestuous moment has proven to be one of the show’s most shocking scenes yet.
“We All Thought He Was Going to Throw Up”
Charlotte Le Bon, who plays party girl Chloe, told Vulture that her character instigated the dare out of pure boredom and detachment from reality.
“This kiss between the two brothers for her is just pure entertainment, which is obviously really evil when you think about it.”
While the cast mostly treated the scene as just another day on set, Le Bon revealed that Schwarzenegger had a much harder time handling it than his co-star Nivola.
“For Patrick, it was really difficult. For Sam, he was kind of like, ‘It’s whatever, let’s just do it well one time and it will be over.'”
She even noted that Schwarzenegger’s reactio
n in the scene was completely genuine:
“We all thought he was going to throw up. And Sam was like, ‘It’s fine, it’s just a kiss, calm down!’”
Fans React to The White Lotus’ Most Shocking Moment Yet
The internet exploded with reactions to the incest kiss, with many viewers calling it the most unsettling moment in the show’s history.
With The White Lotus known for pushing boundaries, this moment has fans questioning how much further the show can go—and what’s next for the dysfunctional Ratliff family.
