“I remember a woman walking by the monitor as he made a comment about her ‘flappy pussy'”.
Actress Ellen Page has accused director Brett Ratner of sexually harassing her on the set of X-Men: The Last Stand, she wrote in a Facebook post.
Page said she also witnessed Ratner frequently “say degrading things to women.” Six other women, including actress Olivia Munn, have also accused Ratner of sexual harassment and misconduct.
The full post – which can be read below – begins off with Page stating how Ratner suggested to an older woman that she should “fuck [page] to make her realize she’s gay.”
“‘You should fuck her to make her realize she’s gay.’ He said this about me during a cast and crew “meet and greet” before we began filming, X Men: The Last Stand.
“I was eighteen years old. He looked at a woman standing next to me, ten years my senior, pointed to me and said: ‘You should fuck her to make her realize she’s gay.’ He was the film’s director, Brett Ratner.
“I was a young adult who had not yet come out to myself. I knew I was gay, but did not know, so to speak. I felt violated when this happened. I looked down at my feet, didn’t say a word and watched as no one else did either.
“This man, who had cast me in the film, started our months of filming at a work event with this horrific, unchallenged plea. He “outed” me with no regard for my well-being, an act we all recognize as homophobic.
“I proceeded to watch him on set say degrading things to women. I remember a woman walking by the monitor as he made a comment about her “flappy pussy”.”
