But in his statement, Bertolucci said that any idea that Schneider didn't know about what would happen in the scene, apart from Paul's use of butter, was false. In a 2007 Daily Mail interview, Schneider said that the "scene wasn't in the original script" and that she "felt a little raped" by Brando and Bertolucci. In the scene, Marlon Brando's character, Paul, rapes Jeanne, played by Maria Schneider. I specified, but perhaps was not clear, that I decided with Marlon Brando not to inform Maria that we would butter."
