Brett Ratner, director of the Rush Hour franchise and producer of films including The Revenant and Horrible Bosses, has been accused of sexual misconduct by six women in a damning new report from the Los Angeles Times. Though their anecdotes vary, the women—including actress Olivia Munn—accused Ratner of aggressive sexual overtures or masturbating in front of them. One woman, the actress Natasha Henstridge, says that when she was 19 and he was in his early twenties, Ratner began masturbating in front of her, then forced her to perform oral sex on him.

“He physically forced himself on me,” she said. “At some point, I gave in and he did his thing.”

The allegations follow a disturbing, yet vital new trend of women speaking out against industry figures they say have harassed or assaulted them, and the warped sexual politics of Hollywood more generally. The floodgates opened in early October, when Harvey Weinstein was accused of sexual misconduct by numerous women—including stars like Ashley Judd, Angelina Jolie, and Gwyneth Paltrow—who spoke to The New York Times with their names on the record. He has since been accused by dozens more women, bringing the current tally up to 63. Weinstein is currently being investigated by police in New York, London, and Los Angeles. Weinstein denies all claims of nonconsensual acts.

The Oscar-nominated director and screenwriter James Toback has also been accused of sexual misconduct by more than 300 women—including actresses Selma Blair and Rachel McAdams—and is now being investigated by the Beverly Hills Police Department. He also denies the claims, alleging that he never met many of the women accusing him of misconduct. Like Weinstein, he has also become a pariah in the industry since his accusers went public.

Ratner, the bombastic figure behind blockbusters like X-Men: The Last Stand, now joins their ranks. All six women who spoke to the Times share disturbing anecdotes of their alleged run-ins with Ratner, saying that he purposefully targeted fledgling actresses looking for a leg up. Two women, Jorina King and Eri Sasaki, said Ratner made sexual advances toward them on the set of Rush Hour 2.

Munn says her first experience with Ratner came when she was an up-and-comer herself. In 2004, while visiting the set of Ratner’s film After the Sunset, Munn was asked to drop off food in the director’s trailer as a favor. She was told he would not be there, but when she arrived, she found that was not the case.

“He walked out . . . with his belly sticking out, no pants on, shrimp cocktail in one hand and he was furiously masturbating in the other,” Munn said. “And before I literally could even figure out where to escape or where to look, he ejaculated.”

Munn said she let out a “startled scream” and fled the trailer, immediately going to the man who had asked her to drop off the food. He was not shocked or surprised by her story, she recalls: “It was just, ‘Ugh, sorry about that.’”

Munn later told an attorney about what had happened, but was legally advised not to pursue a case against a powerful director. “That did leave an impact on me,” she told the Times. “How broken do women have to be before people listen?”

Munn included this anecdote in her 2010 book of essays, Suck It, Wonder Woman!, though she excluded Ratner’s name. In 2011, Ratner said that the story was about him before claiming that he and Munn used to date: “I banged her a few times . . . but I forgot her,” he said. Days later, Ratner admitted to Howard Stern that he had lied about dating Munn: “I felt horrible,” he said.

In response to the Times report, Ratner’s lawyer, Martin Singer, said the pair did in fact have “an intimate relationship,” which Munn says is “a complete lie.”

On Ratner’s behalf, Singer also essentially denied all of the claims brought against his client in the Times, giving specific reasoning for each allegation. In response to Henstridge’s claims, Singer said that she and Ratner had a relationship, and that she became “upset after learning my client had a girlfriend who he would not leave.” Henstridge told the Times she had no interest in dating Ratner and had never been alone with him aside from the night of their alleged encounter.

Five former Ratner assistants also spoke on the record to the Times, defending Ratner as a great boss and a “family guy.” David Steiman, Ratner’s assistant from 1999 to 2004, said he would be “shocked” if the allegations were true.

Shortly after the Times piece was published, Warner Bros. released a statement addressing the concerns (Ratner has a first-look deal with the studio and is a partner in RatPac-Dune Entertainment, a company that produces numerous WB projects).

“We are aware of the allegations in the L.A. Times and are reviewing the situation,” the studio said on Wednesday.
