The Affair's Ruth Wilson Is Not Sure Why There's a Stigma to Infidelity

Ruth Wilson poses at the top of the Empire State Building to turn on the lights in honor of Only Make Believe on Tuesday (October 27) in New York City.

The 33-year-old The Affair actress recently talked with THR about her views on marriage and monogamy.

“We’re upholding these institutions and I’m not sure work anymore. I don’t know. I mean, that’s a question – it’s a big debate. The Ashley Madison website that got hacked – 37 million people were signed on to an infidelity site – kind of suggests that infidelity happens an awful lot,” Ruth said. “We treat it with such stigma, but actually so many people do it. I’m not sure why the stigma exists in a way.”
