After Jeremy Piven vehemently denied that he had assaulted actress Ariane Bellamar, actress Cassidy Freeman took to her Instagram to level her own charges against Piven, stating:
"You will deny this because, sadly, she’s deniable. The backlash this woman received was horrendous. And whether or not her accusations are true, the TRUTH is I know you. I know what you did and attempted to do to me when I was far too young. THAT I know. And you know it too. Unless there were so many of us, that you can’t remember. Predatory behavior is a chronic way for you to seek power. Do you feel powerful? With your lawyers and your networks and your die hard man-fans who call your victims bimbos? Or do you know, in your rotten gut, that you will have to lie for the rest of your life? I hope from now on, you keep it in your pants and you never get to do it again."
Page Six reports that a second woman has stepped forward to talk about being sexually harassed by Dustin Hoffman, stating that "Hoffman allegedly propositioned her and attempted to persuade her to leave the office and accompany him to a store in a nearby hotel." Hoffman's spokesperson declined to comment.
If you’re wondering why some women still have not come forward, here is one of the many reasons why: E! News reports that Brett Ratner is suing Melanie Kohler for defamation after she revealed on her Facebook page that she was raped by the director.
