“Originally Veronica does turn back and wink at him. I guess they didn’t want to have that element of it to make me seem like that woman,” Applegate revealed. “We did a couple of different versions. We did one where I turn back to him and winked at him and then the version that we now have, which is me being offended by it.”

The Married with Children star also discusses a musical scene that was deleted from the final cut of Anchorman 2.

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, is now playing in theaters  nationwide.
