Louise Linton, wife of former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, said in a recent interview that she's been villainized as a result of her husband's role in the Trump administration, adding that this has had a direct effect on her career in Hollywood.

The actress said she is relieved not to have her husband in the political spotlight anymore.

"Fortunately, he's not in politics anymore, and I'm happy to have my husband home in Los Angeles [with me]," she told Fox News. "I think because of my association with that administration, people have this preconceived notion about me or I've been villainized."

Linton recently released a trailer for her newest film, "Me You Madness," a dark comedy in which she plays a murderous, sex-crazed hedge fund manager named Catherine Black. The film is her writer-director debut.

"In some ways, this character, Catherine, is almost like a parody, a caricature and a satire of that media persona, which I think couldn't be further from who I am as an actual person," Linton said.

The producer and actress has garnered negative media attention in the past, including an instance in which she posed with her husband in 2017 for a photograph holding sheets of newly printed money.

She also posted a photo to social media showing her leaving a government plane wearing designer brands while on a trip to Kentucky with Mnuchin and then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).

Linton said Friday that her new role allows her to break out of the mold that she says was created for her during her husband's time in the Trump administration.

"I think that's probably the only way that [the Trump administration] impacted [my career]. But I hope that when people watch the movie, they can see that I'm just a filmmaker and I'm not involved in any politics and I'm very liberal," the Scottish-born star told Fox News.

"Me You Madness" will begin streaming on demand on Friday.
