Is the Eyes Wide Shut rumor true?

Someone told me years ago that Harvey Keitel was booted from the film Eyes Wide Shut by Stanley Kubrick for ejaculating in Nicole Kidman's hair! He was replaced by Sidney Pollack. I finally did a search on it and here's what I found. Enjoy!

...Harvey Keitel (method actor) 😆

Thats Metal and its exactly what i would have done, biitch is fine

I did some other searches and I could only find several reports stating that Keitel was indeed replaced, but none of them said why except for the report I found in the first post. I bet Tom and Nicole pulled every string they possibly could so that info. wouldn't get out.

Very disgusting, if that is true.

if this is true, it would help to explain why the movie took SO long to finish.

I wonder if this will be included in the Eyes Wide Shut director's cut dvd. I hope that scene was filmed so it can finally be shown..

scientology will not allow it! you're all glibs!!! GLIBS!!!

Kidman, reportedly, was specific to Keitel when saying, "Not in the eyes OR the the hair.". Serves him right!!
