"That wasn't in the script, but I thought, 'When else am I gonna get the chance to kiss Brad Pitt? I'm just gonna go for it.'"

They felt her actions were inappropriate. Consent for any intimate interactions—whether in real life or when acting—was important to them.
Several pointed out if the roles were reversed, backlash would have been swift and harsh.
Robbie recently responded to the criticism, telling Entertainment Tonight:
"We all established our boundaries before making this movie, because it's a movie that really pushes boundaries in a lot of ways."
She assured:
"We're all good."
Even after Robbie's clarification, some social media users still think the kiss was in poor taste.
