Blake Lively Was Sexually Harassed By a Makeup Artist, Says 'Nothing' Happened After Reporting It
CelebritiesDirt BagIn an interview with the LA Times, Blake Lively revealed she was sexually harassed “regularly” by a makeup artist while shooting an unnamed movie on location. In addition to making “inappropriate” comments and “insisting” that he put lipstick on her with “his finger,” she shared this horrifying story:
“I was sleeping one night on location and I woke up and he was filming me. I was clothed, but it was a very voyeuristic, terrifying thing to do.”
Understandably unnerved, Lively reported the incident to producers, but said “nothing” was done. And then this bullshit happened:
“Finally, after three months of complaining, they called me into my trailer and said, ‘We need to talk to you.’ I thought, ‘Well finally, they’re going to do something about this man who I had to have touching me all day.’ And they said, ‘Your dog left a poop behind the toilet in your dressing room and our janitor had to pick it up. And this is very serious and we can’t have this happen again.’”
After taking matters into her own hands and consulting with a lawyer, Lively says the makeup artist was finally booted off the film, but that the “unit production manager wrote a letter of recommendation because nobody wanted there to be bad blood.”
Yes, because having bad blood with an employee is the last thing anyone wants.
