Brett Ratner

Famous actress, Natasha Henstridge, has spoken out about being sexually assaulted and orally raped by Hollywood director, Brett Ratner. Henstridge stated Ratner forced her to perform oral sex on him when she was 19-years-old, which is a felony. Actress Olivia Munn stated Ratner masturbated in front of her without permission, which caused offense.

A then closeted lesbian actress, Ellen Page, was outed by Ratner in a cruel way. During a public meet and greet for “X-Men: The Last Stand” Ratner cruelly told another woman in front of everyone, “You should f**k her (Ellen Page) to make her realize she is gay.” Page was mortified and angry that Ratner outed her on being a lesbian. Page stated, “He outed me with no regard for my well-being.”

Three other women have accused Ratner of sexual harassment, in a pattern of misconduct that goes back many years. One woman has sued him for rape. Ratner is also known for making crude, sexually insulting statements about women. Ratner stated to a woman on one of his movie sets that a co-worker who had just appeared on screen has “a floppy p*ssy.” Ratner constantly created a hostile work environment unsuitable for women, who were constantly the brunt of his mean jokes, sexism and harassment. Ratner repeatedly degraded women on his film sets.

Ratner got his start directing music videos in the 1990s for pop and R&B stars. He transitioned into movies shortly after, directing derivative and sometimes copyright infringing projects. Ratner’s sets were known to be sexist and full of sexual harassment, but no one did anything about it. Movie studios, networks, film distributors and record labels look the other way to the abuses by men like Ratner and Harvey Weinstein, among others, because they made them money. It is this impunity that created even more vicious and evil behavior in Hollywood, as a number of people have believed they will never be held to account for their criminal actions.

Side Bar: Previously, Ratner dated and worked with singer Mariah Carey for years. She too is facing legal proceedings for alleged sexual harassment. Carey's former bodyguard has alleged she summoned him to her room while wearing see through lingerie and performed a sex act in front of him.

In a powerful Facebook post on Friday, the 30-year-old actress claimed she was outed as gay by Brett Ratner when she was just 18 years old, and hadn't even "come out to myself." "'You should f**k her to make her realize she’s gay.' He said this about me during a cast and crew 'meet and greet' before we began filming, X Men: The Last Stand. I was eighteen years old. He looked at a woman standing next to me, ten years my senior, pointed to me and said: 'You should f**k her to make her realize she’s gay.' He was the film’s director, Brett Ratner," Page alleges at the beginning of her essay.

"I was a young adult who had not yet come out to myself. I knew I was gay, but did not know, so to speak. I felt violated when this happened. I looked down at my feet, didn’t say a word and watched as no one else did either," she continued. "He 'outed' me with no regard for my well-being, an act we all recognize as homophobic. I proceeded to watch him on set say degrading things to women. I remember a woman walking by the monitor as he made a comment about her 'flappy p**sy.'"
