Her outing comes after Lena hit back at viewers who criticised her for using a body double for the season five finale's nude 'shame' walking scene.
Producers used CGI trickery to put her face on the naked body of Rebecca Van Cleave, who walked through a sea of jeering extras as the regal matriarch was punished by religious zealots in front of her subjects for her affair with twin brother Jaime.
The actress - who was pregnant at the time of shooting - has now revealed that she was 'shocked' by the negative reaction the body double decision garnered among fans.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, she said: '(I had some) really great (reactions). But some people thought I was less of an actress because I didn’t get my t**s out.'
The mum-of-two added that she gives her all emotionally to a performance - and felt she would have been too 'angry' by the gruelling three-day shoot to properly portray her cold, ruthless character.
'It was really a bit shocking. I’ve done nudity. I’m not averse to it. But I know I’m a very emotional actor and I get really driven by that.
'In order to do my job, I allow myself to be really vulnerable. I don’t know any other way to do my job. Things really affect me.
'And the thought of being naked for three days and trying to contain her in the way she would be I think I would feel very angry...'
