The resurfaced video is from a 2011 Comic-Con panel the actor who played Khal Drogo on show participated in.
In the video, he commented about how the show allowed him get away with rape (watch video below).
“But as far as sci-fi and fantasy, I love that genre because there are so many things you can do, like rip someone’s tongue out of their throat and get away with it and rape beautiful women,” he said.

Also in 2011, Momoa spoke on rape in an interview with the New York Post.“Yeah, I’m raping Emillia [Dany]” he said.
“I love her, but I’m hurting her and she’s crying. We could have made it longer, but you get the idea. I’m not a rapist. I prefer my women to enjoy sex.”
Following the reactions to the 2011 comments, Momoa took to his Instagram page to apologize.
