How true to life is the hit Netflix show House of Cards? Well, one of the show’s stars apparently learned from a senior government official that reporters do, in fact, sleep with their sources. Yes, in a Q&A with Capitol File magazine, Robin Wright (who plays Claire Underwood) on the show, said that when she was researching her role, she learned some surprising things about what goes on in D.C.

She says a “senior persion” in the Obama administration told her that reporters sleep with their sources, among other things. And what she took away from these revelations was this: “D.C. is more corrupt than Hollywood. It really is. It’s more sleazy than Hollywood… how much infidelity goes on.”
