Actor Will Ferrell was recently interviewed by Yahoo! Movies regarding his upcoming movie Daddy’s Home.

During the interview, Ferrell noted that the scene that he filmed with TNA Knockout Taryn Terrell during the Lakers vs. Pelicans NBA game got him some heat from people who thought that it was using violence against women as humor and others who thought the stunt was real stating, “people were saying I should be sued or even people who knew it was part of the movie, they were like, why did he use a real basketball?”

Ferrell actually used a Nerf-style soft ball, which you can see in the video below:
