Rebel Wilson reveals she was sexually harassed by male co-star - PerthNow

The 42-year-old actress is starring in Netflix film Senior Year and insisted she wanted to make sure there was a lot of “respect” for her younger co-stars on set as she alleged she had been the victim of sexual harassment years earlier.

“I wanted to bring the hilariousness and the heart [to ‘Senior Year’] but because there’s a lot of young cast in the film, I wanted to make sure there’s a lot of respect for everybody.

The Pitch Perfect star went on to explain that the incident happened before the #MeToo movement against sexual abuse in 2017 and that her co-star had tried to “destroy her career.”.

However, Wilson — who trained as a lawyer before turning to acting —made sure to “document” the alleged incident at the time and insisted that while the behaviour was “gross”, other women have had it “worse.”.
