![]() Reached by phone Saturday, he told The Hollywood Reporter that he was “floored” by Dushku’s claims, which were hitting him “like a sledgehammer.” Kramer, whose recent credits include Star Trek: Discovery, Blade Runner 2049, Westworldand Furious 7, denied Dushku’s allegations. ![]() The actress added that on the way back to her parents, he pulled her onto his lap during a taxi ride, but grew “cold” to her in subsequent encounters. “I remember vividly how he methodically drew the shades and turned down the lights how he cranked up the air-conditioning to what felt like freezing levels, where exactly he placed me on one of the two hotel room beds, what movie he put on the television ( Coneheads) how he disappeared in the bathroom and emerged, naked, bearing nothing but a small hand towel held flimsy at his mid-section,” Dushku wrote.ĭushku says he laid down next to her on a hotel bed and rubbed her repeatedly, then suggested that she not tell anyone of the encounter. The Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Bring It On and Dollhouse actress wrote that she was “sexually molested” by the then-36-year-old stunt coordinator after Kramer “lured” her to his hotel room, promising Dushku’s parents that he would take her swimming at the stunt crew’s hotel pool and take her out for sushi. There’s really no mercy now.”ĭushku, who played the daughter to Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies, detailed her account of what happened in a lengthy Facebook post Saturday on her verified page. Directors are historically pretty oblivious to the interpersonal things that are happening on their set because they’re focused and are the worst offenders at being focused on ‘what I’m doing creatively.’ Had I known about it, there would have been no mercy. Hopefully we’ll be making films about this stuff and we’ll put something in place as industry practice to do as much as we can to prevent it. The psychological consequences have to be understood. That they’re clearly not feeling what this is going to mean for this person further down the line. A lot of it has to come from a lack of empathy. So whenever there’s a male in a position of power who has got a piece missing and doesn’t understand the consequences of what he’s doing, maybe out of this can come some education that can pull some men that would otherwise go down that path back from the brink. This shit has been going on since day one. He went on: “This is not a reckoning for Hollywood or America this is reckoning for the human race. This is a great moment in history that’s unfortunately founded on personal tragedies that have occurred for so many of these women.” It’s one of the things that we do and do well. Hollywood is in a unique position to actually shine spotlight, as Hollywood has historically done on a lot of social issues. I think we all collectively as a human race - I don’t think this is a Hollywood…. And that anybody who might be a predator or abuser knows that that mechanism is there and that it’s encouraged and there’s no shame around it and that there will be consequences. “The fact that this was happening under our noses and we didn’t know about it - I think going forward, it’s important for all industries, certainly in Hollywood to create a safe avenue for people to speak up. “I know the other party - not well, he hasn’t worked for me since then,” continued Cameron. It’s just heartbreaking that it happened to her. Bravo for them for doing it and I’m glad Eliza did that. “Because Hollywood deals with women who are victims 10-15-20 years ago who are famous today, so they get to have a louder voice when they come forward. I think this has been endemic throughout human systems, not just Hollywood,” Cameron said. I think all the women are that are speaking up and calling for a reckoning now. Obviously, Eliza is very brave for speaking up. “I haven’t given a lot of thought to this specific situation because I just heard about.
