After 38 women came forward to reveal that director James Toback had sexual harassed them, actresses Selma Blair and Rachel McAdams spoke to Vanity Fair in detail about their own experiences with James Toback.
McAdams said, “I was 21 and in the middle of theater school when I met [Toback]. Theater school was a very safe space. [Toback] used the same language during my audition—that you have to take risks and sometimes you’re going to be uncomfortable and sometimes it’s going to feel dangerous. And that’s a good thing—when there is danger in the air and you feel like you are out of your comfort zone.”
Blair stated, “I still felt so powerless and scared. I kept thinking, ‘O.K., is there a big actress who is going to come out so that she can be the face of this? I want to bring as much awareness to this harassment as possible because I want Toback to be held accountable.”
