“Game of Thrones” star Jason Momoa is feeling the heat on Twitter after a video surfaced of the actor saying he enjoyed working on the hit HBO show because he got to “rape beautiful women.”

Momoa made the comment at San Diego Comic-Con in 2011, where both the actor and a portion of the crowd got a laugh out of it.

The clip surfaced in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal, where the dishonored Hollywood powerhouse has been accused by nearly 30 women of sexual misconduct.

Momoa’s “joke” hasn’t aged well, and Twitter users are now sharing their disappointment. Some have already wiped him off “the list.”
