Release the Daphne and Velma Kiss Cut!
We’ve known for a while that Velma of Scooby-Doo fame is a queer icon, but according to one of the stars of the 2002 live-action Scooby-Doo movie, she had a deleted kiss with her best friend Daphne in that movie!
On a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live, two fans got to ask Geller a question about the dynamic between Daphne and Velma in the 2002 live-action Scooby-Doo. While she said that the two weren’t in a relationship in the original version of the movie, she said that the characters did share a kiss.
“There was an actual kiss between Daphne and Velma that got cut,” the star revealed. “I feel like the world wants to see it. I don’t know where it is.”
Geller is absolutely right! Of course we want to see it! Where is the Kiss Cut?!?
Geller also revealed that another, not-so-savory, gay scene was cut out of the movie. Instead of showing a same-sex kiss, this other scene had a character use “gay” as an insult.
Geller explained that the insult came when her character was fighting with Freddie Prinze Jr.’s character.
“We were having a fight, Daphne and Fred, and then I yell at him, ‘And that ascot makes you look gay!’ And I slam the door and they cut that too,” she said. “That’s the reason I actually signed onto the movie.”
“It’s something everyone’s thought for a long time!” she continued. “There's always been an implication about Fred being interested in both parties. It all got cut.”

Velma has long been the subject of rumors about her sexuality, and James Gunn, who wrote the script for the live-action movie, said that he tried to make Velma a lesbian in his original script. "In 2001 Velma was explicitly gay in my initial script," he said. "But the studio just kept watering it down & watering it down, becoming ambiguous (the version shot), then nothing (the released version) & finally having a boyfriend (the sequel)."Velma has also been confirmed to be queer in the cartoon Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated and in the animated movie Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!. In the current HBO Max Velma cartoon, Velma and Daphne are both bisexual and have feelings for each other.Latest Stories
