‘Mad Men’ actress Alison Brie recalls ‘peeing incident’ while in costume

Alison Brie was admittedly a hot mess.

The “Mad Men” actress recalled a “peeing incident” that occurred with her wardrobe while filming the first season of the critically acclaimed series.

While chatting with Justin Long on the “Life Is Short” podcast, Brie who played the long-suffering Trudy Campbell on the 16-time Emmy Award-winning drama, revealed a wardrobe malfunction that led her to urinate on herself.

“On ‘Mad Men’ once there was a peeing incident … because we wore girdles... it’s basically like biker shorts that go all the way up to our ribs, and it’s like time-period appropriate,” the 38-year-old actress shared.

Further elaborating, she explained that the girdles have a “small hole” to make it easier for people to urinate since the costume would be difficult to pull down, however, it wasn’t easier for her to use the restroom because of one simple mistake.

“I didn’t know, for the first season of ‘Mad Men,’ that you weren’t really supposed to wear underwear under them, because they are underwear,” Brie confessed.

“So I was rushing to set … ‘Mad Men’ was my first real job so I didn’t ever want to be the problem person...” she rationalized. “So I rushed to the bathroom … [I] tried to pull the hole open, but I didn’t pull my underwear to the side so I’m peeing and not hearing it hit the bowl and then I just feel warmth.”

In an attempt to remedy the messy mishaps, she said she “just dabbed it with a bunch of toilet paper” and returned to set “because they’re waiting on me … I don’t want to lose my job.”

Fortunately, Brie did not lose her job and the costume designer was able to get her a new, dry girdle.

The Golden Globe Award-nominee ended up portraying the recurring character on “Mad Men” for the entire seven season run — and went on to star in the television series “Community,” “BoJack Horseman” and “GLOW,” and films “The Disaster Artist” and “The Post.”
