The British said that nobody did anything to stop this famous actor when he abused her in a casting
British actress Naomie Harris, 45, has spoken about being S- harassed by a "big Hollywood star" during an audition and was shocked because "nobody said anything" despite the film's executives being in the room.
Speaking to the Mail on Sunday tabloid, the Oscar-nominated actress, who recently reprized her role as Miss Moneypenny in "No Time To Die" in the James Bond saga, recalled the day a famous actor groped her while auditioning for a role. .
The actress recounted that her partner slipped her hand up her skirt and touched her in front of several people from the film crew. No one said or did anything to stop him.
Harris, who refused to reveal the identity of her colleague during the interview, revealed that this actor did not face censorship from those present in the room during the audition. "What was so shocking was that the casting director was there and the director, and of course nobody said anything because he was, is, a big star," the interpreter explained.
She said she feels "very lucky" to have experienced just one such incident given the scale of abuse reported in the industry.
“That was my only #MeToo incident, so I feel very lucky given how widespread that behavior was,” she said.
“Now things have definitely changed: I was on a project where there was a #MeToo incident and there was no hesitation, [the perpetrator] was immediately removed,” said Harris, who declined to name the actor who was removed from the most recent project. .
The British actress, who was nominated for an Oscar for “Moonlight” in 2017, is currently on screen in “No Time To Die” and “Venom: Let There Be Carnage”.
This comes as Crown star Claire Foy condemned the Metropolitan Police's handling of the murder of Sarah Everard, saying she was angry that the onus falls on women to protect themselves against men.
London Metropolitan Police Officer Wayne Couzens raped and murdered 33-year-old Everard in March this year. Her body was found in Kent.
Speaking to the Sunday Times, Foy said: "Hundreds of women are attacked every day. It makes me very angry. How can you think about making women safe and think about getting more policemen, who women don't trust, to take care of them?
“We don't need to be taken care of. We need them to stop killing and raping us. That's all. It is simple. And it is terrible to say, but they are men, ”she stated.
The actress plays Margaret Campbell, Duchess of Argyll, in the second series of the BBC's "A Very British Scandal," which will depict the high-profile divorce between Campbell and her husband, the 11th Duke of Argyll, played by Paul Bettany. .
The story is said to be one of the first cases in which a woman was the victim of revenge in the media when an explicit Polaroid photo of Campbell in the middle of a act was used against her.
