She also took to Instagram posting a screencap of the tweet and using the caption, “He shouldn’t be allowed to use his power in the industry to sexually and emotionally harass women #metoo.”
In a video posted by TMZ, they caught Kate arriving at LAX and asked her about the allegations to which she replied, “I’m excited to tell my whole story but a walk to the car isn’t gonna cover it.”
According to TMZ, Paul is denying her accusations. “If she has a claim, there’s one place to tell the truth and that’s in court or to the police,” he said.
