Olivia Wilde Received Death Threats For Omar Epps Kiss
Olivia Wilde has revealed that the show was forced to beef up security due to death threats made against her for a love scene with her co-star Omar Epps.
Wilde played the sultry Dr Remy Hadley in the medical drama, and was called upon to lock lips with her co-star Omar Epps in an episode in 2009.
The actress recently revealed that due to the steamy scene, the show received a massive backlash from some fans that were offended by the interracial kiss.
Wilde told America's Cosmopolitan magazine, "We got a lot of hate mail for that. There are racist people out there. We got hate mail and that said that someone wanted to cut off my lips and kill me. We had extra security on set for a while."
