Milana Vayntrub, known for her role as Lily in AT&T commercials, has faced significant online sexual harassment since reprising the character during the pandemic.

Amid this, she received a supportive phone call from Stephanie Courtney, who plays Flo from Progressive, offering solidarity. Despite the harassment, Vayntrub acknowledges that her role as Lily has been life-changing, with the benefits far outweighing the downsides.
