Game of Thrones was one of the most favourite series of all time. In the series, Emilia Clarke‘s character Daenerys Targaryen is raped in season one of Game of Thrones by her husband Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa) and her co-star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is now speaking out about the contentious scene. In the books, the scene was actually written as consensual, but the pilot episode clearly features a sexual assault. “For Emilia to play that in Series One was really tough and degrading because what that character goes through is horrific,” he told a leading daily in London.

He further added, “She’s sold to a guy who rapes her, but her way of getting through that is a massive journey, right? Cersei, too, was never looked upon as an equal to her brother just because of gender. But then she rises to the top. And you could argue that the way those two women turned out was because of being raised in this horrific way.”  George R.R. Martin made headlines last week after revealing in the new “Thrones” oral history book “Fire Cannot Kill a Dragon” that he opposed with the choice to switch Daenerys and Khal Drogo’s love scene from consensual sex to rape.

Martin asked the writer in an interview, “Why did the wedding scene change from the consensual seduction scene to the brutal rape of Emilia Clarke? We never discussed it. It made [the pilot] worse, not better.” While the wedding night love scene is consensual in Martin’s book, later sex scenes in the novel between Daenerys and Khal Drogo are more abusive. “Thrones” showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss reveal in “Fire Cannot Kill a Dragon” they changed the wedding night love scene to assault so the storytelling could stay more consistent.
