And when Spike Lee puts ice cubes on my nipples, the reason you can’t see my head is because I’m crying. I was like, “I don’t want to do this.”

“I felt like Irene Cara in fame,” she continued in a 2000 conversation. It was like, “Wait a minute, I feel so low, this is not who I am.” So that was my first experience, and it was horrible.

Speaking to Variety in the new interview, the Oscar-nominated actress said people were upset with her and Lee in the aftermath of the revelation 23 years ago.

“In our cancellation culture, some people have to be cancelled,” she said. And when I was telling the story, people were ready to un Spike me and unscrew me for saying something. And I said, “You know what? This is getting out of hand.”

Lee apologized to her and eventually left them behind, Perez said, as she was pictured with the Oscar-winning creator at his birthday party in New York City earlier this month.

“We discussed it, we made it up, we hugged, and we’re still friends to this day,” she said. And sometimes people need a chance to say, ‘I’m sorry.’ For a man of his stature to say ‘I’m sorry’ is a huge thing.

“But that’s why I don’t like to talk about it — because people get so crazy.”

In an interview with Variety, Perez revealed that she was unaware of who Lee was when she initially met him at a nightclub.

“I didn’t understand who he was,” she said. ‘And I didn’t care. I threw the card away. My friend Marian came back and got it.

She always joked, “You owe me your entire career.” You know, I took a test to do the right thing. People think Spike just discovered me and gave me the role. No, he made me work for it.
