Within the last two seasons of Power, La La Anthony‘s character has had two sex scenes (hi Shawn) and critics aren’t too happy.

What is LaLa Anthony trying to accomplish in the sex scene on Power? Why would she go there? Is it for fame? She has it! So why?

I am still mad at Lala Anthony for agreeing to do a nude scene on power! she aint even the main character! wonder how much she is being paid

It will forever bother me that Lala got butt ass naked for no reason on Power. Like you're Lala Anthony. Cmon.

In an interview with The Breakfast Club, the 38-year-old actress revealed that fans have even gone so far as to call her a bad mother for the explicit scenes. But she also made it perfectly clear that 10-year-old Kiyan is not allowed to watch the show.

Watch a snippet of the interview below.

Well…she’s kind of got a point.

TELL US: We’ve got to know, can you separate the character from the celebrity?
