In the wake of sexual assault claims rising in Hollywood, Rebel Wilson has come forward with her own experiences. In a series of tweets, she recounts two instances of sexual harassment. She starts off by saying that although she is a strong and confident person, “I have a story to tell.”
The first event she illustrates is when a male star asked her to stick her finger up his butt while friends tried to take a video. Luckily she was able to escape the situation and file a complaint. However, she was threatened by a representative “to be nice and support the male star.”
Rebel’s other encounter with sexual assault took place in a hotel room with a “top director.” This happened earlier in her career.
She also shares how she’s saddened by the stories that have been popping up about sexual harassment and “will no longer be polite” if she ever witnesses the same behavior again.
