has revealed that she was touched “inappropriately” by a senior crew member while on a project in her early twenties.
“I’ve had someone grab my arse and basically touch me inappropriately before…I was too scared to say anything. I was too scared to rock the boat,” revealed the actress, who is now 31, duringto be published in full on Saturday. “I just avoided that person and it was fine, but what really has changed post-MeToo is you just know that you’re protected.”
Continued Powley, “At the beginning of MeToo it was weird. For a while it was like, I feel protected because men are just f***ing scared, which was fine too, but now everything’s settled into itself. People have learned and it’s like there’s a new code of conduct.”Powley also spoke to the outlet about negative experiences she’s had shooting intimate scenes on some indies, while noting that the 2015 indie darlingin which she stared for filmmaker Marielle Heller was not among those projects.
“I did have a couple of bad ones where everyone’s too awkward to ask if you’re gonna take your clothes off, and you don’t have it written up properly in the contract,” she explained. “It’s low-budget, indie, guerilla-style filming. You’’e outside and suddenly it’s the scene where you have to get naked and simulate sex, and then you just find yourself doing it because you’re too scared to say no, with a young actor who probably felt just as uncomfortable.
