Sarah Paulson plays Linda Tripp, Monica Lewinsky's confidante, in the upcoming third season of American Crime Story. A role for which Ryan Murphy's favorite actress has drawn some criticism.

According to Internet users, the actress should not have accepted the role, and left it to an actress with the same build as Linda Tripp. Asked about this by the Los Angeles Times, Sarah Paulson reacted to the controversy, and expressed her regrets:

"I should have thought about it"

The actress, however, felt that the full responsibility for this problem should not "fall on the actors", who sometimes choose to seize "the opportunity of a lifetime" by accepting a role. “And I speak knowingly,” she assured.

“The thing I tell myself the most is that I regret not having thought about it more deeply. And that it is an important thing, which I should have thought about”, continued Sarah Paulson. "I also know that I am in a privileged position to think about this question. What you learn, you can only learn by learning it. Should I have known? Absolutely. But now I know. And I won't make the same choice in the future."
