Eva Longoria’s film “Without Men,” which hit theaters this past summer, is endearing a bit of controversy upon its release in Spain, where the lesbian sex scenes from the movie were forced to hit the cutting room floor.

“We received word from the Spanish distributor specifying that upon the film’s debut in Spain, all of the lesbian scenes will be removed,” says the director Xavier Daniel. “We’re very upset that a company would alter a film that way. People won’t fully understand the plot if all the female love scenes are cut. It’s unbelievable that this would happen in 2011.”
