"Of course," Ainsley responds to the question. Tommy asks if she's being careful and she responds, "Yeah, we have a rule and we stick to it."
Tommy replies, "I'm going to regret asking you this, but what is this rule?" Ainsley replies, "As long as he never comes in me, he can come anywhere on me."
So, what does Michelle think of the scene going viral?
"I just thought to myself, 'How am I going to say this with a straight face, looking into Billy's eyes?' I was Ainsley in that moment. I was not Michelle. And as Michelle, I will never be saying that to my father. Let's be clear," she told TheWrap.
Michelle says that while filming the scene, "there was definitely a point where my face turned bright red and we started laughing, because I just couldn't help it."
"There's people watching, and I'm like, they don't know anything about the show. They don't know the scripts. They don't know the premise, and if they can overhear this one line, what do they think that we're filming?" she added. "I just disassociated."
