During an interview at MCM Comic Con London in 2018, April Stewart — who voices Wendy Testaburger, Sharon Marsh, and many more characters in “South Park” — recalled her fondness for “Trapped in the Closet,” though pointed out that the credits were altered because of the episode’s controversial subject matter.
“If you look at the credits on that one, we’re all Jane and John Smith,” Stewart said. “They changed it.” Indeed, viewers can see for themselves that the end credits of “Trapped in the Closet” does not actually list any of the people involved with the episode, and only uses bland pseudonyms. Although Stewart didn’t clarify why the creators made these changes to the credits, one can assume that they were made preemptively to prevent any legal action the Church of Scientology might have made against the show itself.
This is also implied by the final line of the episode itself, which is Stan Marsh (Parker) screaming, “Go ahead, sue me! I dare you!” — further emphasizing that Stone and Parker were expecting some kind of legal response after the episode’s release. In the end, no legal action ever came from the Church, though this extreme shift in the end credits makes it clear that the showrunners took every precaution to safeguard their team before the episode was released.
