Issa Rae Defends The ‘Blowjob’ Episode of Insecure: ‘We Were Referencing Something in the Past That Had Been Said’

Issa Rae caught a bit of backlash after a recent episode of ‘Insecure’ aired and offered a bit of an explanation while attending the Kate Spade show at New York Fashion Week.

During the episode, a conversation between Issa and her friends suggested that white women are more into performing oral sex than Black men.

via NYP:

“We were referencing something in the past that had been said and thought,” the series creator and star told The Post at Kate Spade’s NYFW presentation on Friday.

“People called blowjobs ‘Beckys,’ and that’s a white girl name. I think people are way more sexually free and liberal currently,” she said.

“But I will say that in conversations that I’ve had, a lot of my black female friends will have sex with a guy before they give him head. And a lot of my white female friends would be like, ‘No, I’d rather give head than have sex.’ That was the conversation that we were kind of having in the room.”

Easy to discuss, hard to film. “It’s always awkward to do sex scenes, but it comes with the territory,” said the actress, stunning in a red lace Kate Spade dress. “Sometimes, when I’m in the writer’s room, I’m like, ‘Issa should do this, Molly should do this,’ and then when you get to filming I’m like, ‘Oh, s–t, I really have to deliver!’ ”

Don’t miss the season finale of ‘Insecure’ this Sunday at 11pm only on HBO!
