During the end of Emily in Paris season four, we see Mindy struggle with the fact she’s going to have to dance topless in a cabaret club whilst performing Oops… I Did It Again.

Her anxiety isn’t helped when she realises her voice starts to crack when she’s topless, and is worried her performance will ruin her career. Luckily, she and Emily come up with a creative solution to make sure she’s never fully exposed as Emily throws her various purses to cover herself up with.

Actress Ashley Park has emotionally opened up about how “stressful” the topless scene was to film and how the Emily in Paris scene was like “living out her worst nightmare.”

In an interview with People, she confessed that performing the scene was “every actor’s worst nightmare.” She continued: “We have this recurrent memory of being onstage, not knowing what you’re doing, in your underwear. And that is what I was living out actually, but surrounded by the most beautiful dancers in the world around me.”

Ashley admitted that she almost didn’t manage to film the whole scene, explaining it was “so stressful and so hard to do.” She added: “If it had not been for the choreographer, Kyle Hanagami, coming in and my team around me, I don’t think I would’ve gotten through it.”

However, she’s “actually really proud of [the scene] now,” and knows that it will be a moment from her career that she’ll never forget doing.”
