Veteran actress Laura Dern revealed Wednesday that she was sexually assaulted when she was 14-years-old.
Dern, now 50, appeared on The Ellen Show and explained that hearing other actresses at the Elle Women in Hollywood event speak out about abuse they’ve experienced helped her come to grips with a past she said she had “justified.”
“I woke up and I realized that in that space I talked about how I was one of the lucky ones because I was raised by actors who told me their stories and told me what to look out for, and I realized that I was I still justifying behavior,” said Dern, whose the daughter of Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd.
“And it was my mom who said, ‘No, no, no, Laura — that was sexual assault. That was harassment. That was assault. No, you were 14 then,'” the Jurassic Park star said.
The Big Little Lies actress applauded the industry-wide commission to tackle sexual harassment and “predators” that Lucasfilm president and Star Wars producer Kathleen Kennedy suggested amid the swirling Harvey Weinstein sexual assault scandal.
Dern also praised the women who spoke out at the Elle event about the abuse they’ve endured in Hollywood and beyond.

You’re right. Who needs Hollywood when these people have been so damned entertaining? I’m hooked on YouTubers who ridicule them.
Sailor, you make me hotter than Georgia asphalt.
Now that was funny. Maybe it’s time to accuse Hollywood men of being racist. Or did the black chicks say yes to the offer of money and fame for BJ’s.
I'm pretty sure Whoopie Goldberg was safe.

Just wondering, but what happened to your tagline about “the roars of the masses...” ?
WHERE WERE THE PARENTS!?!?
Exactly!! I was thinking the same thing when the gymnast revealed she’d been molested for years by the team doctor. Didn’t her mother ever notice anything or travel with her on the trips? He was giving her sleeping pills.
