Spike Lee admitted that he wished he didn't write the rape scene in his 1986 film 'She's Gotta Have It'.
During an interview with Deadline.com, the 57-year-old director said that the scene, which had caused some controversy after the movie release, was his "biggest regret", and he would gladly re-do it if given a chance.

Moreover, Lee promised that that he wouldn't repeat the same mistake with film's TV show adaptation, which will soon air on Showtime.
