The White Lotus star Natasha Rothwell: ‘I’m a recovering people pleaser’ The actor is back as caring spa manager Belinda in the hit satire’s third season.
“I outlived the bitch!” The star of The White Lotus is rejoicing in the knowledge that, three seasons into HBO’s hit eat-the-rich satire, her sweet spa manager Belinda, lives on, while the woman who shattered her dreams, Jennifer Coolidge’s indelibly camp billionaire Tanya, is, well… dead.
“I was like, oh, I remember what this is like, just having to bite my tongue and swallow blood and not stand up for myself.” But, she promises, we’ll see Belinda holding her ground more in season three.
Now, as the drama returns for its third run, Belinda is visiting the White Lotus in Thailand, where she’s taking wellness training – and no, she’s not forgiven Tanya.
“Belinda was like a shaking can of soda, and at any moment could have popped,” says Rothwell.
