[Variety] The fat-shaming incident is only one of many times Chloe Grace Moretz has found herself in a sexist situation with one of her male co-stars.
On another project, a different male love interest made up lies about Moretz to try to boost his own reputation in the eyes of film’s director, Moretz shares — again not identifying the actor in question.
“I’ve had a younger male lead ostracize me and bring up fake issues just to try and put me in my place, and make things up to the director…things that are crazy, things that I would never do, unprofessional things that would make no sense,” Moretz says. “I’ve had an actor do that to me. It’s crazy. They have this inferiority issue, and I’m like, ‘You are completely equal to me, you are no different than me. I just happen to be the lead in this movie, and I don’t know why, just because you are kind of the smaller character, that you’re pushing me into a corner to try and put me down. Little snips that just put you down.”

Aaron Taylor-Johnson
He was twenty and she was fifteen when that movie was made. Shame on him if this was him. I liked him in Godzilla and Avengers: Age of Ultron.

? Not only have I experienced this in the film industry, but I’ve watched it happen to others as well. Guys completely slandering women to “put them in their place.” It’s disgusting. Strangely enough, it’s not just the guys that engage in this horrible behavior! The women become competitive, catty, and will do anything to ruin the reputation of any woman seen in a more favorable light. It’s much worse that you could ever imagine and is one of the most toxic environments I’ve…

I’m sorry to hear this. If it makes you feel less alone…this is common practice in my corporate industry…

Completely agree Firefly. I was in the business years ago. I got out of it, because it was awful. Fame and fortune isn’t worth putting yourself through that.

I don’t know who the actor is, but I think Chloe is a stunning young woman and actress! I love that she doesn’t look like everyone else and looks healthy and relatable.
