*Kelly Rowland says she rushed home to her husband after shooting the sex scene in her new Netflix thriller “Mea Culpa.”
Rowland stars in the Tyler Perry film that “follows a criminal defense attorney who, in the hopes of becoming partner, takes on the case of an artist who may or may not have murdered his girlfriend,” per the synopsis via Deadline.
Rowland also produced the film, which hit #1 since its release on Netflix on Feb. 23.
Essence writes, “The scene getting the most play is one where the stars, Rowland and hunky actor Trevante Rhodes who plays Zyair in the movie, have a steamy encounter with paint.” Rowland discussed the scene during a recent visit to Shan Boodrams’s podcast Lovers and Friends.
“So I remember we were supposed to shoot it one day, and I called my husband. And he was like, ‘Alright. Well, you know, go do whatever it is you’re gonna do.’ It wasn’t like, ‘Kill it I’m fine.’ You know what I mean?” Rowland laughed. “He knows, so when people start, if they start even asking questions, he’s like, ‘I know. Yes. I know.’”
“That means the most to me and to him and to us as a unit for him to be like, ‘Yeah. No. I saw it. Oh, I know. I know. But I hit that first.’”
Rowland said she was “ready to come home” to her husband, Tim Weatherspoon, after filming the steamy sex scene.
“I was definitely bothered and ready to come home after that scene,” she said on the podcast. “Because I was in Atlanta. And I remember I called my husband, and it was still early in LA. And that was a lovely night.”
Rowland added, “So a sensualist is somebody whose senses have to be awakened in order for them to really come alive. And I’m all about it smelling good, the lights being low, the music is right, the way you touch, the candle…it’s all about that.”
She continued, “And when it’s like that, I don’t know what version of me you’re gonna get, but you’ll get the best one. So that is real. When all of my senses are awakened, I’m scared of what I’m gonna do. I can completely surrender.”
