‘Bridgerton’ Actress Calls Out Netflix for Not Offering Support During Filming

The Big Picture Bridgerton actor Ruby Barker is opening up about her experience on the hit series, calling out Netflix and Shondaland for not being supportive to her as she experienced "psychotic breaks", per Variety. Barker sat down for an episode on the LOAF Podcast where she recalls her experience on the show.

For Barker, the instant jump into fame was challenging to balance, as she felt that her life was "changing drastically overnight" and would have appreciated some support on how to understand her new-found fame — as the series was immensely popular. "I was trying really, really hard to act like it was okay and that I could work and that it wasn’t a problem.

What Is ‘Bridgerton’ About? And What Role Does Ruby Barker Play? Bridgerton is based on a book series by Julia Quinn. The stories are set in Regency-era London and follow the noble Bridgerton family, as each of the eight siblings find love and happiness during their debut into society. However, much like the teen drama Gossip Girl there's a secret presence that goes by Lady Whistledown .

Barker was cast as a main character in Season 1 of Shonda Rhimes's Netflix Bridgerton series. And she reprised her role for one episode in Season 2. She portrayed Marina, the cousin to the Featherington family. She joins her family as she makes her debut to society. Unfortunately, Marina harbors a dark secret, as she's pregnant from a previous relationship and is trying to hide it from everyone else.
