Former first lady Jill Biden attempted to pay her way onto HBO’s controversial show about gay hockey players, bidding $35,000 for a walk-on role in and dinner with the cast.
The entertainment publication Variety cited sources on Thursday who said she was outbid for the perk package on “Heated Rivalry,” which ultimately went to two bidders at $125,000 each.
After Variety posted an item about Biden’s bid on the social media site X, she responded with a post of her own.
“Guess I won’t be heading to the cottage after all—but it was worth a shot!” she wrote, referring to a location that’s played a pivotal role in the series. “What a wonderful evening supporting @LGBTCenterNYC.”
The live auction was held at the NYC LGBT Community Center.
The first season of the show saw Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams play National Hockey League rivals who later form a romantic relationship.
