Amazon reportedly tried to quash post-Emmys photos of Phoebe Waller-Bridge smoking

The Hollywood Reporter

A professional photographer shot several images of Waller-Bridge smoking at Amazon's post-Emmys after-party at the Chateau Marmont last week. But Amazon reps stubbed out those photos, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The now-famous photo of Waller-Bridge smoking did, however, get out on the BBC's Fleabag Instagram account thanks to her friend Josh Cole, the head of comedy at the BBC, who first posted the picture to his account.  "I'm sure people are upset that (Cole's) photo made it out," a source tells The Hollywood Reporter. "Smoking is always off-limits. But she was having fun and acting carefree." The Hollywood Reporter says the photo "may be the most talked about post-awards photograph since Faye Dunaway slipped into a silk robe and stilettos at the Beverly Hills Hotel."
