“I passed three stages of the audition. After the last audition; I was given a minor role. I told him that the character I was auditioning for… and that was why he said I should be close to him,” she stated.
“He had been making passes at me before then, but he did not come out clean to me until that day. He then stood up and tried to touch me. I was very upset…That was a huge insult to my person…I did not want to be an actress anymore. I tore the script and eventually left.”
