Ah, lads.
Sex and the City isn’t really a show known for being safe.
During its time on air, it discussed issues like abortion, the female orgasm, infidelity, and the trials and tribulations of motherhood.
There was also a lot of sex.
Like, a lot.
However, it turns out there was one Sex and the City scene shot that was too “horrifying” to air.
Cast your mind back a few years (or decades), and you’ll remember that Charlotte’s character briefly dated a lad called Michael.
Michael also had a lovely (ahem) dog named Butterscotch living in his gaf.
This lad was basically grand… except he did this rather irritating and rude thing where he pushed Charlotte’s head down towards his penis whenever he felt like it, expecting her to give him a blowjob.
At one point, Charlotte got quite pissed off and decided to leave the room.
However, in this deleted scene, when she came back in, Charlotte saw Butterscotch… well… you know.
Sex and the City creator Darren Starr told Vanity Fair:
“She basically let him have it about being offended by his insistence on just wanting a blow job.
“She accused him of only liking her for that and kind of stormed out. And then she walked back in and saw that his golden retriever was going down on him.”
Christ.
It gets worse too, as writer Amy B. Harris explains:
“We shot him putting peanut butter on his penis, and Charlotte walks back in like, ‘Oh, I’m being unreasonable,’ and then she sees that.
“I can’t believe we even thought about doing it.”
Yiz didn’t just think about it, lads. You shot it.
