Six Women Accuse Rush Hour Director Brett Ratner of Sexual Assault
Women everywhere are coming forward to shed light on the sexual harassment that has permeated Hollywood. With the slew of women that came forward to accuse Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, it’s no surprise that women are coming forward to call out other famous actors, directors and producers.
On Wednesday morning, six women, including actresses Olivia Munn and Natasha Henstridge, spoke sexual assault claims against Ratner. His attorney Martin Singer, denied all of the accusations stating, “I have represented Mr. Ratner for two decades, and no woman has ever made a claim against him for sexual misconduct or sexual harassment.”
Ratner filed a lawsuit against Melani Kotler, a woman in Hawaii who published her sexual assault story on Facebook, alleging that he raped her.
Warner Bros has since announced that they will not renew Ratner’s contract. Ratner then issued this statement, “In light of the allegations being made, I am choosing to personally step away from all Warner Bros.-related activities,” Ratner’s statement said. “I don’t want to have any possible negative impact to the studio until these personal issues are resolved.”
