A sex scene from the upcoming season of TV’s “Desperate Housewives” has found its way onto the Internet, and ABC executives are scrambling to get it offline.

CBC reports that the clip first appeared on YouTube on August 27. It features the character Bree (Marcia Cross) and her new boyfriend Orson (Kyle MacLachlan) in bed.

“I don’t do that,” says Bree in the clip, refusing Orson’s advances to give her oral sex. “I’m a Republican.”

“I’m a Libertarian,” he replies. “I believe in minimizing the role of the state and maximizing individual rights. Trust me, I know what I’m doing.”

The one-minute clip had time codes along the bottom and poor audio quality.

ABC dismissed claims that it purposely leaked the footage to create a buzz.

But Hollywood trade paper Variety says that many industry vets aren’t buying it. Production experts said that new footage is held very securely at studios and production houses.

Variety also reported that the leak marks the first time unaired television footage has found its way online.
