Sandra Bullock Asked to Be Fired From a Movie After a ‘Person of Authority’ Made Unwanted Advances
In a recently published interview with the Sunday Times, Sandra Bullock revealed that she, too, was a victim of unwanted advances on a film set at the outset of her career.
Bullock alleged that she requested to be fired from the film after a “person of authority” pursued her.“Very early on in my career I had a situation on a film, which was hard,” Bullock told the Sunday Times.
“It came from a person of authority.
I kept deflecting it with humor and it didn’t work.
Finally, I said, ‘Please just fire me.’”While Bullock did not name her alleged harasser in the interview (Variety has reached out to her reps for more details), she also shared her thoughts on Harvey Weinstein, who last month was formally arrested and charged with rape and other acts of sexual misconduct.
Though Weinstein never targeted her personally, she learned quickly to keep a distance.
