Ridley Scott Refutes Same-Sex Kiss in Gladiator II

Denzel Washington's claim that a same-sex kiss was cut from 'Gladiator II' has been refuted by director Ridley Scott, who stated the kiss never happened. Washington initially mentioned the kiss in an interview, suggesting it was removed because the filmmakers 'got chicken'. However, during the film's premiere, Washington downplayed the incident, calling it a 'peck'. Director Scott firmly denied any such scene existed, labeling Washington's claim as 'bulls**t'. The discussion has sparked debate about representation and the editing process in Hollywood. Both Washington and Scott have provided inconsistent narratives, leaving the truth about the scene ambiguous.
