Jennifer Esposito, who played CIA Director Susan Raynor on The Boys, stirred a fresh round of speculation on Jun 11, 2026, when she told interviewer Kristan Harloff in a short clip that she "liked pretty much everyone... I liked everyone except maybe one, but you know, it is what it is."
The comment, delivered with a half-shrug and no name attached, went viral online and pushed behind-the-scenes talk about the Amazon Prime Video series back into the spotlight just weeks after the show closed with its fifth and final season in May 2026.
Fans seized on the omission. The fastest-growing theory points at Antony Starr — who plays Homelander — in part because of Starr’s 2022 arrest in Alicante, Spain, after a drunken physical altercation at a local pub and the subsequent twelve-month suspended prison sentence he received. Supporters of the theory also note that during promotion of the first two seasons there were few, if any, shared social media interactions between Esposito and Starr, a detail users flagged while trying to fill the blank Esposito left.
Esposito’s role on the show was brief but visible: her character, Susan Raynor, was killed after uncovering details about a "coup from the inside" of Vought. That short-lived arc gives her comment added weight for fans trying to read the lines between on-screen drama and off-camera relationships, even though the actress offered no further clues in the clip with Harloff.
The friction here is straightforward: by praising the cast broadly while singling out "maybe one" person without naming them, Esposito’s remark produced speculation rather than clarity. It is the absence of a name that has become the story — a single, deliberate omission that the internet has interpreted as an invitation to guess and to dredge up past incidents tied to Starr.
No cast member has been identified by Esposito, and no one else from the show has publicly clarified her comment. That leaves an open, narrowed question: will Esposito elaborate on whom she meant? The next real development depends entirely on her decision to name the person or to let the hint stand unfilled.
For now, the remark has done what a throwaway line rarely does — it redirected attention from the series finale and the show’s wrap in May to an unresolved interpersonal note. If Esposito follows up, the internet will have its answer; if she stays silent, the speculation focused on Antony Starr and his 2022 legal trouble will persist as the dominant interpretation of her offhand aside.
