“One person will read this and it will stop them getting sexually abused by a director.
British actor Thandie Newton put a spotlight on sexual abuse in Hollywood during an interview with W Magazine revealing the behavior of a director during a casting audition early in her career.
The director, who Newton did not identify, “had a camera shooting up my skirt”, she said, “and asked me to touch my tits and think about the guy making love to me in the scene.
I thought, ‘OK, this is a little weird,’ but there was a female casting director in the room and I’d done weird stuff before so I did it.”
