Sharing her exprience, the actress said she became target of harssament at the hands of a fim director who asked her to take her clothes off.
"When I did speak up, I was terrified. I remember my heart beating out of my chest, thinking, 'What did I do? This man is hiring me!'
"It was one of my first movies. But in my mind I knew the behaviour wasn't right. It could have gone either way for me.
"But I think ultimately the Bronx in me was like, 'Nah, we're not having it.'"
