During an interview on Andy Cohen’s satellite radio show Radio Andy, actress Melissa Gilbert claimed that director Oliver Stone sexually harassed her during an audition for his 1991 film The Doors.
At first, Gilbert told her story without naming any names. She kept the accusations very anonymous saying that she was humiliated during an audition because she had “embarrassed him in a social situation.” Gilbert ended up running out of the room crying.
“I’m actually sitting here telling you this story, afraid to say his name, because I’m worried about backlash,” she said in the interview. After being reluctant she eventually said, “Oh X it! It was Oliver Stone, and it was The Doors.”

this is getting out of conrol. Now a brush-by, lear, a stare, even a glance will be considered “assault”. This is what happens when women get the equality they say they want.
What if your boss sexually harassed your co-worker but not you? Grounds for discrimination?
Oliver Stone was just checking to see if Half Pint might be a quart low.
Lol!!
Somewhere in another world Michael Landon is chuckling
True that. However, there are rumors in Hollyweird that a few powerful women are going to be outed as predators. AC/DC is the question in my mind.
Yes, she got power kept quiet! And did nothing to address it .
“Gilbert served as the President of the Screen Actors Guild from 2001 to 2005”

SAG-AFTRA’s Gabrielle Carteris Calls for Protection of All Workers From Sexual Harassment
Guess HRC will someday claim she was sexually harassed .
Some issues of sexual imposition are true, for sure. This feeding frenzy trivializes them.
Riders on the storm.
Well folks, the storm is finally here.
That was the first song I memorized. Army Brat at Ft. Bragg, 1963. What that started was associating a lifetime of traveling the world and remembering when and where by the music at the time that goes on to this day.
Pretty soon we’ll be seeing these signs posted on the front of the major production companies in Hollywood..
‘Space Available’
Love it.
I’m defining sexual harassment here as an unwanted advance. And my point is, if your co-worker gets sexually harassed and you don’t, then that is discrimination! (The technical human-resource term is, “equity issues.”) Whether you’re gorgeous, average, or just plain hideous, you have the very same right as anyone else to be sexually harassed!
Now, if your co-worker is sleeping with the boss, then that is not sexual harassment (an unwanted advance). That’s a mutually advantageous exchange between two consenting adults. But if, as a result of that, your co-worker gets a promotion, then the human-resource “equity issues” factor comes into play — i.e., if your boss refuses to sleep with you in exchange for an equivalent promotion, then that is discrimination!
On the other hand, if your co-worker gets a great promotion for consensually sleeping with the boss, and then you assert your rights and demand to sleep with the boss in exchange for an equivalent promotion, then *you* might get charged with sexual harassment.
So be careful out there! It’s a dangerous world....
It was an interesting movie, but people actually believed it? Good fiction.

I hope she had Manly beat him up.
Ha!
Probably in the near future.
Actually, SAG and Actor’s Equity have strong rules about sexual harassment as well as rules when it comes to rehearsing sexual scenes. That a famous, arrogant, drug-taking director ignores them is par for the course.
I’m glad Melissa named him. She’s not the first to name him. He’s a cokehead, as well.
Nope. But his sick French mother carried on a sexual relationship with him
