Jamie Chung Explains Why She Was ‘Devastated’ by the Ending of Her and Ken Jeong’s ‘Accused’ Episode P B P "Knowing Rex, I don't think that he was ever going to let Grace go. And I think she had to make that decision of making the ultimate sacrifice in order to protect her father and her husband. She knew how dangerous Rex was and she knew he would never stop. I really feel like Grace had no choice," Chung continued. "She really did feel like [she had to] steal in order to have a fresh start for Rex and herself. She doesn't want to go with him. Obviously, she knows this is a dangerous man, but she knows how to handle him. She knows how to keep this person calm and at bay, and she knows how to not have him snap."
"I was so grateful. It really told the story in such a profound way. The specificity is something that really attracted [the project to] me because I'm Catholic. I'm currently not practicing but my mom is such a devout Catholic and it just adds an extra element," Chung continued. "And then the [director] Michael Chiklis gave me this really lovely note during one of the heaviest scenes. He was like, '[Grace] had to cope with it. So she has this kind of armor because she really believes that she's protecting her husband and her father.' But really it was a coping mechanism for her to deal with all of this shame."
The crime drama, which debuted in 2023, is based on Jimmy McGovern's 2010 British series of the same name. Each episode of Accused introduces the “accused” — who is always just an ordinary person — without divulging the individual’s alleged crime or how they ended up on trial. The audience then learns of the events leading up to the trial, and from the defendant's point of view.
