“I asked her what was inside and she said, ‘It was a cow tongue from Jerry’s Famous Deli in Westwood with a note that said, ‘If you ever touch my darling Heather or any other woman again, the next delivery will be something of yours in a much smaller box!'” Ross explained.

What the Harvey Weinstein scandal has illustrated is a lot about people knew what was going on, few pushed back (see This Actress’s Harvey Weinstein Story is One of The Worst Yet and John Oliver on Hollywood’s Complicity: What the F***?). Which is why I love this Carrie Fisher story. Her friend Heather Ross was sexually harassed by a powerful producer (ahem, still no name). Ross told Fisher about it.

Fisher then responded in a way that would make Jabba the Hutt take a step back:

Carrie Fisher once sent a cow’s tongue to a producer after he sexually assaulted her longtime friend, screenwriter Heather Ross. Ross revealed during an interview with 94.9 MIXfm on Thursday, October 12, that an unnamed Oscar-winning producer climbed on top of her in a car years ago and allegedly began making unwanted sexual advances. She told the Tucson, Arizona, radio station that she managed to get away as the producer shouted, “You’ll never make a movie in my town … Get the F out of my car!”

The writer later confided in Fisher, who took matters into her own hands. “About two weeks later, she sent me a message online and said, ‘I just saw [him] at Sony Studios. I knew he would probably be there, so I went to his office and personally delivered a Tiffany box wrapped with a white bow,’” Ross recalled.

The night before the New York Times published it’s bombshell expose on Harvey Weinstein, Lisa Bloom offered Rose McGowan millions for her silence, according to the actress.

McGowan made the claims via Facebook on Sunday evening, stating that Bloom’s “very name makes my stomach clench with a stressed tightness that takes my breath away.”

Bloom, the celebrated civil rights attorney who’s made a name representing women in sexual harassment cases and was the catalyst in Bill O’Reilly’s firing from Fox News, has been working with Weinstein amid the allegations.

“As does your mercenary act of depravity. Did you think of how it would affect victims to see you champion a rapist? How it felt to those you once “fought for,” for them to know that you used them,” she wrote in her lengthy post.

“You remember them right? They were the victims of assaults, women you’d previously helped. You lied to those hurt women and hid your true character. You wanted a shortcut to fame. You sold your book to be made into a mini-series, where you’d be the next Erin Brokovich[sic], right?”

Actress Reese Witherspoon has revealed that she was sexually assaulted by a director when she was 16 years old, the latest in a series of claims about abuse in the film industry.

“This has been a really hard week for women in Hollywood, for women all over the world, and a lot of situations and a lot of industries are forced to remember and relive a lot of ugly truths,” Witherspoon said at an event in Beverley Hills this week. “I have my own experiences that have come back to me very vividly and I find it really hard to sleep, hard to think, hard to communicate a lot of the feelings that I’ve been having about anxiety, honestly, the guilt for not speaking up earlier.”

She divulged, “I have my own experiences that have come back to me very vividly and I find it really hard to sleep, hard to think, hard to communicate a lot of the feelings that I’ve been having about anxiety, honestly, the guilt for not speaking up earlier.”

Witherspoon, who debuted on the silver screen at 15, continued, “[I feel] true disgust at the director who assaulted me when I was 16 years old and anger at the agents and the producers who made me feel that silence was a condition of my employment.”

The Academy Award-winning actress went on to claim that the incident was just one of a number of times she had been sexually abused throughout her career.
