Huge Star Put His Hand Up My Skirt

[Essence] Naomie Harris recently opened up about being sexually assaulted by a “huge star” during an audition early in her career.

The ESSENCE digital coverstar revealed that an unnamed actor groped her while they read their lines, choosing to do it in plain sight of the film’s director, who did not intervene. She was in her 20’s when it happened.

“I was in an audition and he put his hand up my skirt,” she told The Guardian “What was so shocking about it was the casting director was there and the director, and of course no one said anything at all because he was — he is — such a huge star.”

Now 43, the Oscar nominated actress says the #MeToo movement has been a game changer and “men know that they absolutely cannot get away with things now that they wouldn’t even have thought about before,” she said.

    Johnny Depp (Pirates of the Caribbean-Dead Man’s Chest)

    Fave James Bond Movie–The Man with the Golden Gun and For Your Eyes Only! Nothing like some 70’s cheese! Plus, Roger Moore was the essential 007!

    Johnny Depp ? or Jamie Fox ?

    I’ll bet a lot of misogynistic industry bigwigs like Matt Lauer and Les Moonves regret their sins of the past, now making them pay. Hopefully women and POC will receive some equity to prevent abuses of power and privilege. No more grabbing ’em by the..

    Golden Eye is my favorite Bond film. I thought Pierce Brosnan rocked it in his 007 debut. The theme song by Tina Turner was awesome too.

    This sounds like Dustin Hoffman. A woman had already reported him for being nasty and assaultive DURING a play they were doing. He ruined her career because she wouldn’t play ball, as I read elsewhere. Honestly, I think there are many suspects for this line up!
