Survivor Stories

Next up, Brett Ratner. Six women, including Natasha Henstridge and Olivia Munn, have gone on the record with the LA Times detailing sexual harassment or misconduct by director Brett Ratner. Henstridge said of her encounter with Ratner, “He strong-armed me in a real way. He physically forced himself on me. At some point, I gave in and he did his thing.” Munn has written before about an encounter with a director who "masturbated in front of her in his trailer when she went to deliver a meal." She now reveals that director is Rattner: “I've made specific, conscientious choices not to work with Brett Ratner. It feels as if I keep going up against the same bully at school who just won't quit. You just hope that enough people believe the truth and for enough time to pass so that you can't be connected to him anymore.” 

Naturally, Ratner denies everything, through his lawyer Marty Singer. Read the full story at the Los Angeles Times.

Anna Graham Hunter wrote a guest column for The Hollywood Reporter titled "Dustin Hoffman Sexually Harassed Me When I Was 17;" read it in full here.

More men are coming forward to speak out against Kevin Spacey; read more about that at the BBC.
