However, following her win on the night, she quickly became a trending topic online for one reason in particular; she was rushed off stage during her winner’s speech.
Whilst she was thanking a list of names who had a hand in the production of The White Lotus, music began playing as Jennifer repeatedly kept saying ‘wait, hold on’, before jokingly dancing along to the music.

Not only were fans left furious over Jennifer being rushed through her first Emmy win speech, but mainly due to her well-respected role in the series which led to her win.
Many were quick to point out that despite her previous roles being career-changing and iconic roles, her portrayal of Tanya in The White Lotus has been branded as ‘wonderful’ and ‘impressive’.
