Yael Stone – Sexual harassment

With all the #Metoo movement going on, Stone has put her voice into the cause too. She accused Geoffrey Rush of sexual harassment numerous times in 2010. She said that he had exposed himself to her, sent her sexually proactive messages, and also used a mirror to spy on her while she showered.

Speaking on the issue, Stone said, “Not all #MeToo stories are the same. Each dynamic is different. For some, a criminal process is essential. In my case, I’m not interested in punishment. I am looking to change my industry and to work toward healing and growth.”

In response Rush released a statement, “From the outset, I must make it clear that the allegations of inappropriate behavior made by Yael Stone are incorrect and in some instances have been taken completely out of context. However, clearly, Yael has been upset on occasion by the spirited enthusiasm I generally bring to my work. I sincerely and deeply regret if I have caused her any distress. This, most certainly, has never been my intention.”
