Actor Loren Anthony told The Associated Press on Thursday that he and eight others quit the production of satirical western “The Ridiculous Six” after producers ignored their concerns about its portrayal of Apache culture. Anthony says the script also included offensive Native American female characters named “Beaver’s Breath” and “No Bra.” He says producers told them to leave if they felt offended. “Right from the get-go, it didn’t feel right. But we it let it go,” said Anthony, a Navajo actor who started work as an extra on the movie Monday. “Once we found out more about the script, we felt it was totally disrespectful to elders and Native women.” “The Ridiculous Six” is produced by Sandler and Allen Covert and is slated for a Netflix-only release. Production began this month in Santa Fe and elsewhere in northern New Mexico.

Goldie Tom, another extra who departed the set Wednesday, said producers told the group to leave if they felt offended and that script changes were not up for debate. “This just shows that Hollywood has not changed at all,” Tom said. She added the production had a number of non-Native American actors portraying American Indians, a long-standing complaint about the movie industry. The actors said a Native American consultant hired by the production also walked off the set. The New Mexico Film Office said Thursday the dispute was a First Amendment issue and the office had no say over the movie’s content. “As long as the production meets the requirements in the film credit statute, there is nothing prohibiting them from filming in New Mexico and receiving the rebate,” the office said in a statement. Outgoing Navajo Nation President Ben Shelly lauded the extras’ decision. “Our Native American culture and tradition is no joking matter,” Shelly said. “I applaud these Navajo actors for their courage and conviction to walk off the set in protest.” David Hill, 74, a Choctaw actor from Oklahoma who left the set, said he thought the film industry was heading toward better portrayal of American Indians before this experience. “Over the years, we have seen change. Then this,” Hill said. “We told them, ‘Our dignity is not for sale.'” Share this: * Facebook * Twitter * Google * WhatsApp * Email * Copy * Filed under adam sandler Share this article: Share this: * Facebook * Twitter * Google * WhatsApp * Email * Copy * Read Next Trent Reznor selling his Beverly Hills mansion for $4.49M Read Next Trent Reznor selling his Beverly Hills mansion for $4.49M Most Popular This Week 1 NBC addresses Jimmy Fallon's drinking NBC addresses Jimmy Fallon's drinking 2 Police: We’re why ‘The Hateful Eight’ is bombing at box office Police: We’re why ‘The Hateful Eight’ is bombing at box office 3 Sean Penn couldn't keep his mouth shut about El Chapo Sean Penn couldn't keep his mouth shut about El Chapo 4 Giada's divorce was her best career move yet Giada's divorce was her best career move yet 5 Here's what Ricky Gervais said to Mel Gibson Here's what Ricky Gervais said to Mel Gibson 6 Rocker Wayne Static's widow commits suicide Rocker Wayne Static's widow commits suicide Share Selection Awards season 2016 [jenner-gervais.jpg?quality=100&strip=all&w=260&h=174� 38;crop=1] Caitlyn Jenner fires back at Ricky Gervais Sightings Comedian Dave Chappelle appears on stage during MTV's Total Request Live at the MTV Times Square Studios September 8, 2003.
