Star of the latest “Indiana Jones” film Shaunette Renée Wilson apparently demanded that an “offensive” scene in the film be changed, according to an interview published Saturday.

Wilson was apparently hand-picked for her role in “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” by the movie’s director James Mangold, according to Variety. But the script she received wasn’t good enough for Wilson (who most of us have literally never heard of), so she wanted to implement some changes.

It’s not uncommon for actors to try to change the scripts of various shows and movies. Arnold Schwarzenegger tried to change his iconic line in “The Terminator,” only to be verbally pistol-whipped by James Cameron. Apparently, Kevin Costner seriously dislikes the biggest character in his career, John Dutton on “Yellowstone,” so much so that he’s actively trying to ruin the conclusion of the entire series.

But there is one golden rule in Hollywood that all must come to appreciate: actors are stupid and most of their ideas are too, so shut the ‘eff’ up and listen to the writers, because they are the only reason you have a job. Okay?

Wilson clearly missed this memo and ended up switching out something that she found “offensive” in the “Indiana Jones” script. (RELATED: ‘Yellowstone’ Execs Hated Beth Dutton. We Bet We Know Why)

Is it just me or do you also correlate the word “offensive” in entertainment as “funny.” I guess shows like “The Office” got it all wrong when they included all of their “offensive” jokes and actors like Wilson should do all of the work they can to literally remove the fun from all forms of entertainment.

The best part is that Wilson literally won’t even say what it was that she found so “offensive.” I bet writers and producers are just lining up to work with her now that she’s revealed what an easy person she is to write for … said no one, ever.
