In a image that a fan on news shared, Waddingham, 49, could be heard berating a photographer for what sounds like a request for her to expose more skin.
The event occurred on Sunday night when Waddingham was posing on the red carpet in front of the Olivier Awards at the Royal Albert Hall.
The individual who was videotaping the event claims that when the photographer “made some comment about her leg,” Hannah was just being her stunning self.
Regarding Waddingham’s criticism of the photographer’s seeming demand, a Ted Lasso admirer remarked, “This is boss.”
The actress received praise for her “class” from another X user, who said it “will always stand out, well done Hannah”.
For the second year in a row, Waddingham presented the esteemed theatrical awards. Her own work on the West End had been nominated for three Olivier awards.
