Cartoon character Pepe Le Pew will not appear in the sequel to Space Jam, according to an announcement that comes after a New York Times column argued the character perpetuates rape culture.
A scene of Pepe Le Pew for the Warner Bros. movie was cut back in June 2019 but was only reported on Sunday after the character was criticized in the New York Times column.
