Rebel Wilson revealed this week that she was sexually assaulted by a former male co-star who then made attempts to “destroy” her career.that, years ago, the perpetrator “called me into a room and pulled down his pants.” She said he then proceeded to make an inappropriate request, in front of his friends, for her to perform a lewd act. Wilson chose not to reveal the man’s name or the film they worked on.
“It was awful and disgusting,” the 42-year-old Aussie said. “And all the behavior afterwards — this was all before #MeToo — where they kind of tried to destroy me and my career.” She revealed she was torn over whether to stay on the project or leave, noting that if the incident happened after #MeToo “then I could have just blasted them.”However, Wilson has a law degree, which came in handy when deciding what action she should take—or if she should even take action at all.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to make her feel comfortable about speaking up. “I thought even complaining to my agency was a big step,” she recalled. Wilsonconfide in fellow industry colleagues, making sure his behavior was known among entertainment circles—and eventually discovered she wasn’t the first actress he’d harassed. “I found out I was like the fourth person to complain about the guy. Such gross behavior, but a lot of women have had it way worse,” she explained.
Isn’t it funny how this all comes out right around the time she has a new movie? Does her publicist think the public are idiots? Rebel Wilson is spitting in the face of real survivors. AmberTurds JohnnyDepp JohnnyDeppVsAmberHeard
