Friday After Next<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\tCube denied via X (formerly known as Twitter) on Friday (Jan. 5) that he would film a rape scene after Williams said on the podcast that he had pushed for the removal of the sexual assault clip. The scene in reference features Williams\u2019 character Money Mike, who would allegedly get cornered in a bathroom by Terry Crews\u2019 character Damon. During his interview, Williams said \u201cMoney Mike, in the original script, got raped in the bathroom,\u201d and he ultimately advocated for the scene to be cut. <\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cI would never shoot a rape scene in a movie, especially\u00a0Friday<\/em>, where you actually see this happening on camera. That ain\u2019t my style,\u201d Ice Cube said. \u201cThe plier joke was always in the script. We would never ever show that. That\u2019s not my style if you look at any of my movies. So, that was never a discussion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\tIce Cube added that there was a \u201cdiscrepancy\u201d in how he and Williams remembered how it went down. \u201cAt that point in everybody\u2019s career, we will listen to a certain extent, but we wasn\u2019t gonna change the movie for it. For any actor, you know?\u201d he said. \u201cWe do what we feel and if it was a rape scene, it would have been in the movie. There was no reason not to shoot it. But that\u2019s not my style.\u201d<\/p>\n
