Candice recalled her daughter once saying to her, “It’s not like you’re in your bra and underwear or something,” so she had to explain that was actually part of her role.
“I’m like, ‘Well, Mommy’s in her bra and underwear, but it’s different because I was in the room with a lot of people. I was being paid,’” Candice told her daughter before realizing how that sounded.
“I was like, ‘No, no, no. That’s not the lesson here,’” she added.
She also reflected that in the majority of the first season she was in fact in her bra.
“That first season, I just remember, was hard on my dad. My parents didn’t understand,” she confessed.
Candice ultimately told Florence, “Mommy’s not ready to handle this, so we’re not going to watch it yet. So, it’s off the table.”
