Rebel Wilson has opened up about a former assault by an unnamed male co-star. The “Pitch Perfect” alum called the encounter “awful and disgusting” when reflecting on the attack, which occurred before the rise of the #MeToo movement.
“He called me into a room and pulled down his pants,” Wilson explained to People, saying that, in front of his friends, the co-star asked her to perform a lewd act.
“It was awful and disgusting,” Wilson continued. “And all the behavior afterwards — this was all before #MeToo — where they kind of tried to destroy me and my career. If it had happened after #MeToo, then I could have just blasted them.”
Wilson, who has a law degree, added that she “documented” the assault. “I called my rep. I got certain things in writing about what happened,” the “Hustle” star said. “Definitely amongst industry circles, I made sure people knew what happened.
