‘White Lotus’ actress makes dig at filming in Alabama city
A “White Lotus” star is taking unnecessary shots at an Alabama city, and it has us saying, “well, that was rude.”
Actress Leslie Bibb was recently asked about where her favorite place to shoot has been, and somehow the question resulted in a dig at the city of Mobile, Alabama. (And Toronto, too.)

In a reel shared on the “The White Lotus” Instagram page, Bibb, who plays “Kate” on the popular HBO series, answered the question by raving about the show’s filming locations in Thailand, saying “It’s so different than any place I’ve ever shot.”
Fair enough — we can understand the appeal of a luxury resort in a tropical location. But then, the actress follows that up with “I mean, I always get like, ‘Yeah, you’re going to Mobile, Alabama. You’re going to Toronto.‘”

Bibb has been in Mobile before — she filmed “About My Father” with Robert De Niro in the Port City in 2023. Our only hope is that the two Alabama natives on “The White Lotus” cast — Walton Goggins and Sarah Catherine Hook — can set her straight.
