I think this is pretty tame compared to the controversy stirred up around
Fanning when she starred in *Hounddog *(2007), in which at age 12 she had
"nude" rape scenes (reportedly in a body suit) as a victim, and the North
Carolina film crew walked off the set. The movie was shown at the 2007
Sundance festival, but never really went anywhere.
