The bosses of hit TV series Desperate Housewives have launched an investigation to find out how a racy sex scene from an upcoming episode made it to the Internet site YouTube.com.
In the scene, Bree (series star
Marcia Cross), seen in bed with new lover Orson (Kyle MacLachlan), resists his offer to perform a sexual act, saying, "I'm a Republican," then gives in.
However ABC executives insist that no one at the network purposely leaked the footage.
"We are looking into the unauthorized clips of Desperate Housewives on YouTube, and will be having them taken down," Contactmusic quoted a spokesman for ABC as telling Daily Variety.
The steamy Desperate Housewives scene marks the first time an unaired TV segment has made it on the popular YouTube.com site.
Desperate Housewives kicks off its third season Sept. 24.
