Producer Brett Ratner Accused of Misconduct in New Allegations

Movie and television producer Brett Ratner, known for films such as The Revenant and the Rush Hour franchise, is one of the latest Hollywood players to be accused of decades of serious sexual harassment and assault. Six actresses, including Natasha Henstridge and Olivia Munn, have come forward to the Los Angeles Times with disturbing allegations. The Jewish Journal’s own Danielle Berrin wrote a series of accounts of her uncomfortable interactions with Ratner over many years. Ratner’s attorney has categorically denied the allegations, calling some of them “absurd”.

“I've made specific, conscientious choices not to work with Brett Ratner,” Munn said. “It feels as if I keep going up against the same bully at school who just won't quit."
