Rebecca Romijn is addressing her time working with two controversial directors from her time with the X-Men.

The 50-year-old actress brought the shape-shifter Mystique to life in the first trio of X-Men movies.

During that time she worked with directors Bryan Singer and Brett Ratner, both of whom have since been accused of sexual misconduct. Bryan also faces allegations of unprofessional behavior on set.

During a recent interview, Rebecca opened up about the two men, explaining why she had previously remained largely silent in regards to the allegations.

Brett Ratner's Milli Vanilli Biopic Dropped Amid Controversy

Brett Ratner‘s Milli Vanilli film is no longer moving forward with Avi Lerner’s Millennium Media, according to Variety on Thursday (February 25).

The company will no longer be involved in selling or production of the film, according to the report.

However, there are reportedly “other bidders and investors who are fully financing production,” according to Brett‘s production company, RatPac.

“On the heels of the announcement of the long gestating Milli Vanilli movie, the project fielded multiple competitive bids and a group of private equity investors have emerged that are fully financing the movie to begin production shortly. Millennium will not be selling the film at EFM or be involved in the production,” the production companies announced in a joint statement.

The biopic follows the ’80s and ’90s lip-synching musicians, and is set to be the director’s return following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct in 2017 by seven women, including Olivia Munn and Natasha Henstridge.

Time’s Up previously said in a statement that he should not be granted a comeback.

“TIME’S UP was born out of the national reckoning on workplace sexual harassment. Our movement is a product of countless courageous acts by many survivors, including those who spoke out about what they endured at the hands of Brett Ratner,” the organization’s Tina Tchen said.

“Not only did Ratner never acknowledge or apologize for the harm he caused, but he also filed lawsuits in an attempt to silence the voices of survivors who came forward – a tactic right out of the predator’s playbook. You don’t get to go away for a couple years and then resurface and act like nothing happened. We have not – and will not – forget. And Millennium Media shouldn’t either. There should be no comeback. #wewontforgetbrett.”

Olivia Munn Reveals Brett Ratner Called Her Before His Howard Stern Apology

Olivia Munn, who accused director Brett Ratner of sexually harassing her, says he has apologized to her.

During a panel discussion at the EMILY’S List pre-Oscars brunch on Tuesday (February 19), the 38-year-old actress revealed that the director-producer had called her in 2011 after she came forward with sexual misconduct allegations against him.

“I’ve never told any of this story publicly, I’m in my hotel room in New York and I get this Caller ID blocked number, and I answer the phone and it’s Brett,” Olivia recalled (via Variety). “He said, ‘I was just joking about that. It’s just a joke and it got blown out of proportion’. He said, ‘Well look, we did date though, right?’ and I said, ‘no’ And he’s like, ‘Are you sure we didn’t date?’ And at this point, I had this feeling that he was recording the conversation.”

“He said, ‘I am sorry, I just don’t know why everyone’s so mad at me,’” Olivia continued. “Because you live life as if we’re all in your movie, and everyone that comes into your atmosphere is under your rule. But the moment you came after me, you came under my rule. And this isn’t going to be your moment in your world, this is going to be my moment in my world. And in my world, guys like you go home crying.”

Olivia Munn Opens Up About Brett Ratner Allegations & the #MeToo Movement

Olivia Munn is on the cover of Rogue‘s Issue N°9, which is available for pre-order now.

Here’s what the 37-year-old Six actress had to say…

On coming forward with sexual misconduct allegations against director Brett Ratner: “Initially, I didn’t publicly call [Brett] out. I wrote a book where I discussed him anonymously. A year later, he named himself and went on to lie about me. A few days after that, he was on the Howard Stern show publicly apologizing for lying, saying he was sorry. Yet, two years after that moment, he gets a $450 million dollar licensing deal with Warner Brothers.”

On taking a stand: “Where is the line? If you don’t draw a line in the sand and say, ‘I’m not gonna work with these people,’ then it’s going to continue. Those who are in power, the movie heads, the executives—why are you working with these people? I’m not saying that people can’t come back from their mistakes, but why is it that when certain people mess up, there’s a formula for redemption? They say they’re sorry, hide away for a little bit, come back, work with the very people they hurt, then resume their position in power, when the rest of us have to fall to the back of the line and work our way back up.”

On the #MeToo movement and coming forward: “One thing that’s important is that we continue to use social media to support people who speak out and show their outrage at abusers. There’s this societal stigma when it comes to [reporting] sexual harassment. Women are seen as liars, men as victims. The truth is that it just doesn’t work that way. To come forward is difficult.”

Ellen Page Accuses Brett Ratner of Sexual Harrassment on the Set of 'X-Men'

Ellen Page is the latest star to speak out about sexual harassment in the movie industry.

The 30-year-old actress opened up in a lengthy Facebook post detailing her experience with Brett Ratner while filming X-Men: The Last Stand.

Brett
reportedly made Ellen uncomfortable with a degrading comment during a cast and crew meeting before filming, which stayed with her long after the incident.

“I was a young adult who had not yet come out to myself. I knew I was gay, but did not know, so to speak. I felt violated when this happened. I looked down at my feet, didn’t say a word and watched as no one else did either. This man, who had cast me in the film, started our months of filming at a work event with this horrific, unchallenged plea. He ‘outed’ me with no regard for my well-being, an act we all recognize as homophobic,” she wrote.

Several other actresses, including Olivia Munn, have already spoken out against the director.

“Don’t compare wrongs or criminal acts by their degrees of severity. Don’t allow yourselves to be numb to the voices of victims coming forward. Don’t stop demanding our civil rights. I am grateful to anyone and everyone who speaks out against abuse and trauma they have suffered. You are breaking the silence. You are revolution.”
