Spike TV has decide to omit Clint Eastwood's inappropriate comment on Caitlyn Jenner that he recently made at the network's 2015 Guys' Choice Awards.

David Schwarz, Spike TV's senior vice president of communications, said that their award show, which would be aired on June 18 and was hosted by Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard, will be filtered to remove Eastwood's reference, FOX News has reported.

The 'American Sniper' director reportedly joked while introducing Dwayne Johnson at the network's award show and compared him to former athletes who turned to acting like Jim Brown and Jenner.
