The Oscar-winning actor Geoffrey Rush has denied acting inappropriately towards Orange is the New Black star Yael Stone during a 2010 theatre production.
“However, clearly Yael has been upset on occasion by the spirited enthusiasm I generally bring to my work,” he said.
Stone alleges that during the production Rush held a mirror above her while she showered, danced naked in front of her and touched her back in an “unwanted” and “very sensual manner”.
Stone made a string of allegations that Rush behaved inappropriately during the play.
