“I told [Glee co-creator] Brad [Falchuk], ‘Absolutely not,'” Riley recalled to her former co-stars and podcast hosts Jenna Ushkowitz and Kevin McHale. “He gave me the blue pages or whatever. It was written. I said, ‘No.'”

Riley explained that a “full-blown” sex scene was initially written, but when she rejected the idea, she said Falchuk attempted to pitch her another plan for the scene.

“He said, ‘Well what if we just, you know, have you guys hold hands and walk to the room and then like close the door,'” the Single Black Female actress said. “And I was just like, ‘No, I’m not doing it.'”

Riley continued, “I don’t tell y’all, no. I don’t fight on anything. … This, it would have been so awkward, and I feel like it would have read awkward. I also just feel like it just wasn’t what my character would have done. I just didn’t feel that way.”
