The kiss between Kirk and Uhurah was supposed to be between Uhurah and Spock. Shatner threw a fit and got the script changed. He essentially stole Spock’s girlfriend because he wanted all the romance scenes.

Shatner certainly caused problems, but one scene, one kiss, out of the whole of ToS, hardly seems like it would have established a relationship with Uhurah. 🤷♂️
I’m still irritated about that scene on behalf of Nimoy. Shatner should have been told to stuff his ego up his ass.

No. In this case, Shatner knew the kiss was going to be historic and therefore wanted to be the one to go down in history for the kiss.
That said, Shatner did what he could to keep the scene from getting cut.
“Spock’s girlfriend?” That’s not TOS canon, in any way.
Correct, because Shatner threw a fit.
