The starlet shared on a current episode of the Which’s What You Truly Missed out on podcast that she rejected a scheduled scene where her personality Mercedes shed her virginity to guy Sam.
“I told [Glee co-creator] Brad [Falchuk], ‘Absolutely not,’” Riley remembered to her previous co-stars and podcast hosts Jenna Ushkowitz and Kevin McHale. “He gave me the blue pages or whatever. It was written. I said, ‘No.’”
Riley clarified that a “full-blown” sex scene was at first created, however when she denied the concept, she claimed Falchuk tried to pitch her an additional prepare for the scene.
” He claimed, ‘Well what if we just, you know, have you guys hold hands and walk to the room and then like close the door,’” the Single Black Female actress said. “And I was just like, ‘No, I’ m not doing it.'”
Riley proceeded,“I don’t tell y’all, no. I don’t fight on anything. … This, it would have been so awkward, and I feel like it would have read awkward. I also just feel like it just wasn’t what my character would have done. I just didn’t feel that way.”

That is an additional reason Riley seemed like Mercedes all of a sudden choosing to make love would not have actually made good sense in the story.
“I mean, I grew up the church girl. It just wouldn’t happen. Like, not at that age, you know what I’m saying? Not that easily,” Riley clarified.“And then being pressured and all that kind of stuff, and doing it for someone else when it’s not really what you really believe, the message that I felt that that would’ve sent to young girls wouldn’t have been great.”
Joy, which complied with a team of trainees that signed up with a joy club to run away the rough facts of secondary school, broadcast from 2009 to 2015. Starting in the program’s period 2 ending, Mercedes and Sam had an on and off partnership throughout the collection. They inevitably chose by period 5 that they were much better as simply good friends.
