The actress, in a recent episode of Penn Badgley’s Stitcher podcast Podcrushed, stated,

“The truth was, and this is pretty unfair to [Domino] after I had Gene, I was recovering from a c-section. Domino is like a goddess. She’s an actual floating siren around the house. And she’s so just lovely, and when she touches you, like you just kind of melt. She was really a family member. And, I just felt so vulnerable. I was like, I can’t have this Botticelli goddess floating around my home when I am, like, bleeding out. I just didn’t have the strength to allow myself the luxury of having her around our home. I was like, I think you can’t come anymore.”

Amy Schumer’s doula, Domino Kirke, was the You actor’s wife but due to her insecurities with her body, she let Domino go. However, despite letting her go, the two women share a good relationship. Amy appreciated Kirke’s help during her pregnancy in an Instagram post.

“Ok here’s my post-baby annoying post and my takeaway from pregnancy. Women are the sh—. Men are cool and whatever but women are f— warriors and capable of anything. I was lucky enough to get to have a doula. Her name is @domino_kirke @carriagehousebirth. What do doulas do? I don’t totally know But what she did was make me and Chris feel totally secure and supported throughout my pregnancy and the birth process. I really recommend getting one if you can,” she wrote.
