New Dustin Hoffman Accuser Claims Harassment and Physical Violation on Broadway

I couldn’t speak to him in the moment because I was on a live mic. He kept it up and got more and more aggressive. One night he actually started to stick his fingers inside me. Night after night I went home and cried. I withdrew and got depressed and did not have any good interpersonal relationships with the cast. How could the same man who fought to get me the job, who complimented my work, who essentially launched my career, who gave me the benefit of his wisdom as an actor, how could he also be this sexual power abuser? Was I doing something? Was it my fault?

Try slapping the crap out him during the show, lady. That would have stopped it.

Was there a memo on this? Does Steve Bannon want us to believe her, or not?

I once walked past Dustin Hoffman on a street in New York City. That guy couldn’t have been more than 5’4” tall. This woman could have kicked his ass right there on the stage, and that show would have run for decades with all the crowds showing up to see that spectacle again.

So for 6 to 8 weeks, this woman wasnt able to let him know that she didn’t like what he was doing? I’ll bet Dustin’s memory of the events is different than hers. I just dont know if we can take all these allegations at face value...

I’m surprised he doesn’t have a rug on his head. I did not know how bald Sean Connery was for a long time.
