Maisie responds to reactions on 'GOT' sex scene

Los Angeles: Maisie Williams has responded to the divided fan reactions following her much talked about sex scene in the latest episode of 'Game of Thrones', by pointing out that if anyone should be feeling awkward about the sequence, it should be her as her entire family watched it.

The sex scene between Arya and Gendry (Joe Dempsie) was arguably one of the most shocking moments in the another buildup episode of the HBO series' final season.

Two days after the episode dropped, Williams made light of the reactions, saying her large family has "probably watched" the scene too.

"If you feel uncomfortable just know that my mother and my step dad and my two sisters and my fourbrothers have all probably watched this too ahahakillmeehehe (sic)" the actor tweeted.

The fans knew about the arc between the two characters – Gendry was Arya's crush and he also found comfort in her friendship. Some said Arya was too young to have sex. "When you've been waiting for Gendry and Arya to get together for 4 seasons and it finally happens, but then they start getting naked..." a user tweeted.

"Ok, I didn't like the Arya sex scene in the newest episode of Game of Throne, and not only because it was awkward to see the person that was once a child for so long naked, but anyway the rest of the episode was a pretty solid 8.5/10," another wrote.

It was as if HBO knew the sex scene would spark a discussion, the network clarified Arya's age before airing the episode.

HBO confirmed the age of Arya as 18 years old on its official Twitter account. The network addressed the potential controversy in a light-hearted post, recalling all the troubles the character faced – from a spoilt child, a lost teenager, a struggling blind girl to a faceless assassin.
