In an effort to get this A list actress another Oscar, the writer/sometime cokehead/sometime director of this biopic changed two scenes in the movie to give the actress some woke scenes.
Fine, except it would never have happened seven decades ago and for sure would have never happened from the person being portrayed, so it is totally out of place from the rest of the movie.

Nicole Kidman’s face hasn’t moved in at least a decade. How is she going to be able to play Lucille Ball who is known for her physical comedy and facial expression? https://t.co/PbuJzbTr9Y pic.twitter.com/8E1xulhzA9

I’m so sad Nicole Kidman is playing Lucy. I was probably 6 years old when I had my parents running to my bedroom when I was watching I Love Lucy LAUGHING so hard they thought I was crying. Debra Messing 100% has the same expressions as Lucille Ball. Especially compared to Kidman https://t.co/Cza1QEjRL1

Lucille Ball’s Daughter Wanted Scenes That “Never Happened” Removed From Aaron Sorkin Drama ‘Being the Ricardos’
Lucie Arnaz, the daughter of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, says that she attempted to have certain scenes filmed for the Aaron Sorkin drama Being the Ricardos removed due to their inaccuracy.
While speaking to Palm Springs Life about the various projects she and others have in the works about her parents, Arnaz shared details from a two-day visit to the film’s set, during which she says she watched Nicole Kidman perform in the role of her mother.
During the conversation, Arnaz — an actress herself, who most recently appeared onscreen in an episode of Will & Grace — admitted there were scenes she didn’t want in the movie because what they contain “never happened.”
“I mean, there are certain scenes that I wished hadn’t been in the feature film. I couldn’t get my way and have them taken out, but they weren’t accurate,” she said. “I thought, ‘That shouldn’t be in there, because that never happened. That’s not true.’ And it’s not just theatrical license, it just wasn’t true.”
“And the day they shot the scene, the sprinklers went off on the set and destroyed the whole set,” she added. – Source
