Schneider has spoken in regards to the scene over time and defined how it made her really feel in a 2007 interview:
“I used to be so indignant. Marlon stated to me, ‘Maria, do not be concerned, it is only a movie,’ however all the way through the scene, although what Marlon used to be doing wasn’t actual, I used to be crying actual tears,” she stated. “I felt humiliated, and to be truthful, I felt somewhat raped, each via Marlon and via [director Bernardo] Bertolucci. After the scene, Marlon did not console me or ask for forgiveness. Fortunately, there used to be only one take” (by way of Unbiased).
