Victoria Ratliff’s chronic use is raising lots of questions.
—
There’s a new crew of characters in HBO’s hit series The White Lotus, but people are already obsessing over one in particular: Victoria Ratliff. On the show, we see the wealthy and regularly anxious Victoria, played by actor Parker Posey, show up to the resort with a huge pill container of lorazepam, a medication she name-checks and pops like candy throughout the show.
Victoria uses lorazepam to help her sleep and even takes the medication before having what should be a relaxing massage. But Victoria can also be seen mixing the prescription drug with wine at dinner, causing her to heavily slur her speech—and even fall asleep at the table—raising a lot of questions about what lorazepam is, what it’s meant for, and how to take it safely.
