Charlize Theron Once Disclosed Which Director Allegedly Sexually Harassed Her, Promises to Name Him Again

Charlize Theron is speaking out about allegedly being sexually harassed by a director.

“I actually did disclose his name,” Charlize told NPR. “You don’t know that because every time I disclosed his name, the journalist made the decision to not write his name, and it goes to show just how deeply systemic this problem is.”

“I remember the first time somebody asked me if I ever had a casting couch experience, and I openly shared the experience and named him, and the person decided to not write his name. So the story is out, and strangely, when the Harvey Weinstein story broke, I, for the first time ever, Googled the story and the story came up everywhere,” she continued. “It popped up everywhere, and nowhere could you find this guy’s name. And it was incredibly upsetting to me.”

But Charlize says she will name him one day, saying, “I think there will be a time and a place where I will definitely share this. I’ve always been honest about it. I don’t have a desire to protect him, but I also don’t want him to overshadow this film [Bombshell] right now. So there will be a right time where I will talk about this again, and I will say his name, yes.”

Charlize also recently explained why she revealed that she’s raising two daughters now, not a daughter and a son.
