Mexico City- A scene in which the character Pepe Li Pew appeared, recently noted for perpetuating the culture of rape, was edited from the film Space Jam: A New Legacy, but there are those who offer $ 100,000 for this material.
A representative of actress St. Greice is willing to give this reward for the sequence in which Saint interacted with Le Pew.
The scene in question featured the skunk approaching the actress in a bar. She pushed him away as he began to kiss her arm, poured a drink over him, and finally gave a blow to the persistence.
Saint, known for her portrayal of Blanca in Jane the Virgin, has lamented that the material was removed from the film, as she believes it gave a powerful message.
“It was important to me that I was on the tape to inspire the younger generations, and also the adults, that we can correct these (harassing) behaviors. I felt it was a way to show children that these kinds of behaviors are wrong. “, the performer told the Angeles Times.
According to the portal Deadline, the sequence was removed from the film before the character was accused of normalizing the harassment.
Li Pew was removed from the plot by director Malcom D. Lee, who took over the reins of the film after the departure of Terence Nance.
Saint maintains that he learned of the edition from a source in the production of the Space Jam sequel, but does not know who made the decision.
