Film maker Brett Ratner is the latest Hollywood mogul to be accused of sexual harassment.
In a report in today’s LA Times, six women accuse Ratner of serious sexual misconduct. Ratner, who has been involved in dozens of box office hits, denied the accusations through his lawyer.
Actress Natasha Henstridge told the paper that, in the 1990s when she was a 19-year-old model and Ratner was a video director, she was at his apartment when: “He strong-armed me in a real way. He physically forced himself on me. At some point, I gave in and he did his thing.”
In a 10 page letter refuting the women’s claims, Ratner’s lawyer Martin Singer said: “I have represented Mr. Ratner for two decades, and no woman has ever made a claim against him for sexual misconduct or sexual harassment.
