*During a red carpet appearance at New York Fashion Week today (Sept. 8), “Insecure” writer, creator and star Issa Rae was grilled about episode 6 of the current second season, titled “Hella Blows.”
First, the New York Post asked her about the characters’ notion that white women are more into oral sex than black women.
“We were referencing something in the past that had been said and thought,” said Rae at Kate Spade’s NYFW presentation, sporting a red lace dress from the designer. “People called blowjobs ‘Beckys,’ and that’s a white girl name. I think people are way more sexually free and liberal currently.
“But I will say that in conversations that I’ve had, a lot of my black female friends will have sex with a guy before they give him head. And a lot of my white female friends would be like, ‘No, I’d rather give head than have sex.’ That was the conversation that we were kind of having in the [writers] room.”
Regarding the sex scene with Daniel, the climax of which caught Issa’s character off guard, Rae told The Post: “It’s always awkward to do sex scenes, but it comes with the territory. Sometimes, when I’m in the writer’s room, I’m like, ‘Issa should do this, Molly should do this,’ and then when you get to filming I’m like, ‘Oh, s–t, I really have to deliver!’ ”
The season finale of HBO’s “Insecure” airs Sunday at 11 p.m. And it’s 45 minutes long.
