Speaking to Variety, revealed none of the assaults took place during her time on set in numerous Hollywood films, but personally, while out in public at night.

“I’m fortunate that I’ve never been sexually abused professionally or harassed on a film set, but in my personal life, when I’ve been in bars, I can count four times when I’ve been what I’d say was assaulted in a minor way.

“It’s not just actresses. It’s teachers; it’s lawyers.

“I’m not talking about rape, but I’m talking about the people who had been grabbed in pubs or their breasts had been fondled by somebody they didn’t know or they’d had someone shove a hand up their skirt.”
