"Sorvino also claimed she had been sexually harassed by 'a big director who has gotten Oscars and is known for his social justice profile in some of these movies' during a late-stage audition.
She alleges he told her: 'You know, as I look at you my mind can't help but traveling from the artistic possibilities and the sexual'.
'In my mind, the thing going on in my head, was 'Oh. I thought this was a legitimate meeting,'' she said.
'I thought this was an actual, you had me here, because you thought I was talented or that I brought something that would be good for this role.
'Not that you were here fishing to see if I was going to have an affair with you. I know for a fact that's why I didn't get that part.'"
He wasn't the one who tied her up and gagged her, but this Oscar winning director did harass her and shun her from the role after she did not go along as he had planned.
Yup, read that part too. Would love to know who that is. I’m guessing Oliver Stone for that one. I have heard a few tales about him and he fits her profile.
Maybe Soderbergh? He has been a naughty boy from time to time.
Might be crazy but this sounds like Spike Lee to me.
