Refinery29 reports the star of 1984's Sixteen Candles knows exactly how problematic some scenes from the beloved teen comedy are. In a new interview with NPR, Riverdale star Molly Ringwald reflected back on her time starring in John Hughes' Sixteen Candles, which features a scene in which popular romantic lead Jake Ryan (Michael Schoeffling) jokes he could "violate" his passed-out girlfriend Caroline (Haviland Morris). Ringwald tells NPR: "Times were different and what was acceptable then is definitely not acceptable now...I do oppose a lot of what is in those movies."
