One of the more controversial scenes in HBO's 'Game of Thrones' was finally addressed by both actors involved, Lena Headey as Cersei Lannister and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Jamie Lannister.

The scene involved Jamie seemingly forcing himself on Cersei as she was grieving over the death of her son. The two actors both went on the record to say that they believe the scene was vastly misinterpreted.

Headey took to EW and stated:

"It's that terrible thing as a woman -- talking about something as horrendous as rape and dismissing it, which I'm not. But we never discussed it as that. It was a woman in grief for her dead child, and the father of the child -- who happens to be her brother -- who never really acknowledged the children is standing with her. We've all experienced grief. There's a moment of wanting to fill a void, and that is often very visceral, physical."

Waldau also made his statement to EW:

"Most people I spoke to got from the scene what we were trying to show -- a very complicated relationship, and two people in desperate need for each other. All these emotions going through them, it was never intended to be something where he forced -- it wasn't a rape, and it was never intended to be. But it's one of those things where you can't [publicly] say 'It wasn't rape', because then everybody goes, 'How can you say it wasn't rape?!' But that was definitely not the intention."

This scene was also featured in George R.R. Martin's books, however it wasn't met with the same backlash.

'Game of Thrones' returns to HBO on Sunday April 12^th.
