"That is a little backwards to me," the star said on Ryan Seacrest's morning show on KISS FM on Thursday, September 4.
Eva Mendes, 34, explained the circumstances under which a glimpse of her 'girl' made it to Calvin Klein's 'Secret Obsession' perfume commercial, which was not aired by US networks for being too provocative.
"That was me doing what I do… that is rolling around in sheets…
"I am the face of their new perfume 'Secret Obsession' I was rolling around in bed for the commercial spot. You know…I had a little situation…one of the girls wanted to say hello without letting anybody know so she…basically I had a nipple slippage. It made the commercial because it was so natural and so beautiful and it was very quick.
"We can show guns every where but we can't show woman's nipple. That is a little backwards to me."
The creative director for the commercial, Fabien Baron, earlier expressed his frustration at the commercial's rejection saying:
"You must be kidding me. This country really needs a new president - this country is so messed up," said Baron. "It's such a joke and it's quite upsetting, frankly, how hypocritical this country has become. It's OK for children to see people killed by guns? Spreading a little love right now would be a good idea.
"She is being a little sexy, but they are not provocative," added Baron. "They are really well done. The spot is really beautiful - I really can't believe this is happening.…I don't know what else to say."
Despite being pulled off the networks, or possibly because of being pulled off the networks, the commercial has become a rage on the internet, giving Calvin Klein a lot of publicity at no cost.
