MAGGIE Q’S RACY NIKITA BILLBOARDS UPSET MALL BOSSES
Billboards promoting actress MAGGIE Q’s new TV show NIKITA are causing a controversy across America - because they’re too sexy and too fiery.
The bosses of some malls and shopping areas have refused to put up the posters for fear of offending people.
The varied billboards feature the scantily clad Live Free of Die Hard s tar holding a series of killer weapons.
Officials at top Los Angeles shopping centre The Grove passed on an ima ge of Q wearing a leather outfit. Malls in Chicago, Illinois and New York also passed on the image, according to Variety.
Some outlets have now erected a replacement ad featuring the actress in a long red dress and brandishing a machine gun.
But even that has upset some community members - those Nikita replaceme nt ads have been pulled from billboards located near schools and churches in the Los Angeles area.
Maggie Q will be the third Nikita when the all-action show debuts in Am erica later this year (10) - French actress Anne Parillaud played the ass assin in Luc Besson’s 1990 movie and Peta Wilson took over the part in la te 1990s TV show La Femme Nikita.
