In his Emmy speech, Coolidge jokingly thanked “all the evil gays,” prompting the audience to applaud. This gesture was a nod to her iconic scene in the second season of The white lotuswhere her character, Tanya McQuaid, is on a yacht with her new gay friends and realizes that something sinister is afoot.
The scene, which gained viral attention last year, showed Tanya pleading with the yacht’s captain: “Please, these gays, they’re trying to murder me!” The captain’s response: “We are all homosexuals here” became a memorable moment.

Coolidge also addressed the fate of her character Tanya, hinting at White’s confirmation that Tanya is “definitely dead” in The white lotus.
