Marlon Brando Would Be ‘Disgusted’ by ‘Last Tango in Paris’ Rape Accusations, Son Says
“Last Tango in Paris” star Marlon Brando’s son is coming to his father’s defense, following accusations that Brando raped his co-star Maria Schneider while filming an infamous scene from the movie.
In the interview, Bertolucci admitted Schneider hated him because of a scene in which Brando’s character uses butter as a lubricant to rape Schneider’s character.
Yahoo’s headline said, “Bertolucci admits infamous Last Tango ‘butter’ rape scene was non-consensual.”
Time tweeted, “‘Last Tango in Paris’ director admits controversial butter rape scene was really rape.”
Bertolucci acknowledged in the 2013 interview that he had been “in a way horrible” to the actress: I didn’t tell her what was going on.
Because I wanted her reaction as a girl, not as an actress.
