Why?? Because he is black AND white??? :-)

Men have been trying to mate with women since the dawn of creation. Forgot that, MALE energy has been trying to mate with FEMALE energy since forever. It's plus and minus, yin and yang, positive and negative, and it's life's forces. Creation is spawned from the male trying to mate with the female. Pepe never raped, he presented his case and in this cut scene, she said, "No".

Male energy dances around female energy. Sometimes they create and sometimes they do not.

With the Looney Tunes French skunk besieged by controversy in the wake of New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow slamming that the cartoon character “added to rape culture,” Deadline has learned that a hybrid live-action animation scene between Jane the Virgin actress Greice Santo and Pepe Le Pew, shot back in June 2019 for Space Jam 2 was left on the cutting room floor.

--

Pepe was set to appear in a black-and-white Casablanca-like Rick’s Cafe sequence. Pepe, playing a bartender, starts hitting on a woman at the bar played by Santo. He begins kissing her arm, which she pulls back, then slamming Pepe into the chair next to hers. She then pours her drink on Pepe, and slaps him hard, sending him spinning in a stool, which is then stopped by LeBron James’ hand. James and Bugs Bunny are looking for Lola, and Pepe knows her whereabouts. Pepe then tells the guys that Penelope cat has filed a restraining order against him. James makes a remark in the script that Pepe can’t grab other Tunes without their consent.
