There's that great line in the remake of "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" where Stellan Skarsgård invites Daniel Craig to come into the house after he's caught him creeping around. Later, once he's tied him up he asks why he didn't trust his instincts. "It's hard to believe the fear of offending may be stronger than the fear of pain, but you know what: it is."

[@TyWerks]

[@dcworld4349]

it's why you should learn how to be disagreeable. One woman who almost got raped by Cosby started cursing him out the second she felt something was wrong. He started acting offended and said she shouldn't use such bad language but reality was it actually scared him enough to call her a cab, because he sensed if he went through with it she wasn't the type that would hide it. Of course that is an extreme situation but in general being disagreeable will take you further in life.

problem is most of the time you're not completely 100% sure that you're in mortal danger, or in this case the producer is making that move. most of the time it's not that black and white. so if you react like u think u should have it could be an overreaction. people's judgements of situations can be flawed too so it's not like it's such an easy thing to always read.

Howard hit the nail right on the head at at 3:08. I went to audition for a very well-known orchestra conductor when I was 13 or 14, and it was all on the up and up: during business hours, in his studio. He sat very close to next to me at the piano, even in a separate chair. And I remember as if it were yesterday, in the middle of the 1st movement of the 3rd Chopin Ballade I felt something rubbiing on the inside of my right leg, inches below my crotch. My whole body went numb and I couldn't think. I froze. I kept playing, and at the end of the piece II jumped up, excused myelf and left in a daze. It took me years to sort out what had happened. I wish now that I had punched him, but at the time I was paralysed and wanted to be polite...

[@icechingu]

Name the conductor

[@MundiaKamau]

Thanks for sharing a personal experience of yours. Orchestra conductor you say? Where on this planet is anyone safe? Orchestra equals classical music?

[@boogerz2000]

I don't think it's just about people being too polite to know what to do. Most of these types of stories happen to people in their youth, when it's not so much about being polite or not, as it is about simply not knowing what to do because you've never been in the situation before. If you were raised well by your parents you would probably be so shocked, you simply blank out like Charlize said. As you grow and gain experience about the world and the people in it, you come to realizations about what's going on and how to handle it so you can call the person out on it later like she did.

[@varuntulsyan2558]

It's still hard. Sometimes you don't wanna relive the horror by coming out with your truth, other times you're not ready for the repurcussions after you've outed a powerful guy. Even after Weinstein, men in power will start a witchhunt against you, there are smear campaigns, victim-blaming and victim-shaming and worse yet, nobody believes a lone accuser. Weinstein faced justice because in a chain reaction dozens and dozens of women came out against him, including prominent actresses. You can see how much fucked up it all really is. Even after Weinstein.

[@fe5018]

Hollywood might not shun her but she could significantly damage her kids' lives by getting dragged into an extremely expensive and emotionally draining legal battle for slander and defamation of character.

I think people forget that there's a third response, besides fight or flight. It's what Charlize described, you freeze. It's where the mind shuts down and dissociates from the body and paralyses itself.

[@jinyawang599]

Painfully true. BTW, does anyone know the book that Seth mentioned in the interview?

[@Jakesnakeryan]

Where is the SiriusXM video app?

[@HM-en8cn]

Jane Seymour had the same experience.

[@MonkeyspankO]

i'm a guy and this happened to me with an older female superior. i'm obviously not a famous actor, but this sht goes on in many industries. as a young person back in the day, you had no idea what was happening or what you should do. either way, she preempted and probably said something to the boss and got me fired soon after

[@paullambert6485]

Seth is on Howard lots it seems. Love that guy.

[@tracyturnbull2533]

She’s a great actress we have been blessed

[@jimmysapien9961]

She is one of my Favorite Actress!

[@nobitch6617]

It’s weird how she’s talking about this on the Howard Stern Show... No explanation needed. Lots of nasty guys in show business.

[@vuvfhnvubgth7579]

Lots of lying c!#%s too.

[@TexasBorn_TexasRaised]

Shout out to Howard Stern. closes thing we had to porn on TV in my early teens. Late school night's at 11I'm in there now

[@toni3762]

Wow she is so brave really really cool of her to speak up about this!!

[@annywind7609]

She didn't even mention the name! THAT would have been brave. Any girl can remember a jerk that tried to put their hands on her. I can. Almost every woman has experience like that. What is brave about mentioning it?

[@tezzi2544]

It is very freaky how she’s refraining from saying his name. She’s also so beautiful 😍

[@__rm307]

I would guess the lady setting up the meeting did know. Having worked w a “handsy” boss - I saw how the whole office turned the other way w his behavior. Reminds me of Ghislaine recruiting girls.. Weird to see Seth so supportive. Yet we all know who his bestie is -

[@jjwawa1795]

Who were top 10 directors in 1996 that lived in L.A. who are still alive today and are capable of liking muzak?

[@kcbh24]

Tarantino.

[@AncyAlexander]

Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Martin Scorcese, Tim Burton, James Cameron, Christopher Nolan, Quentin Tarantino

[@sunnymoondog]

In Laurel Canyon area

[@bobbin321]

[@OldWorkingMan]

don't forget Laurel Canyon

[@sujitharaghu3331]

The host is great ! Good voice , good show !

[@c.a.marsupial.1282]

Could you imagine that happening at a regular job interview. So treat it as a normal job interview.

[@matthewmaximo.r3121]

Wow she didnt even say the name, must be powerful person.

[@johntheX]

She said the name once during an interview. When the article was published the name was not there. In a recent interview, she said that she will reveal the name again.

[@RyanAnthonyDigitalMedia]

I came to the comment section to see if anyone knows who she was talking about..

[@jiivii3o]

Maybe if the guy that was with him when she had her confrontation, is randomly watching Howard videos on KZbin he could tell us!!! I think it was actually Howard stern and this was the confrontation! BOOM! .... a fuller full circle!

[@hughjassole7600]

Ryan Anthony same I have faith in the KZbin community

[@randomdude189]

She’s made up someone to win sympathy points

[@aarons8143]

Spielberg

[@donboldon3104]

At 19, Theron flew to Los Angeles, on a one-way ticket her mother bought for her, intending to work in the film industry.During the initial months there, she went to a Hollywood Boulevard bank to cash a check her mother had sent to help with the rent. When the teller refused to cash it, Theron engaged in a shouting match with him. Upon seeing this, talent agent John Crosby, waiting behind her, handed her his business card and subsequently introduced her to casting agents and also an acting school. She later fired him as her manager after he kept sending her scripts for films similar to Showgirls and Species

[@jamerson808]

" Victim of the casting couch" lol

[@k3nadarna817]

What a great story!👍👋

[@katerinaberhami3770]

This exact thing happened to me - and to this day I have still be traumatised at what could of happened to me if I didn’t leave

[@gracewilliams809]

Thanks, Howard Stern when we all know you're such a beacon of fucking light when it comes to treating women like human beings...

[@rdg6970]

And the sad part of this is his sidekick a woman Robin G played along

[@triciac1019]

What a great interview. My opinion of Mr. Stern went way up.

[@dtimbs84]

Have mercy shes beautiful

[@jackyeastwood9294]

Go Charlize. I love this women. She's stunning I think he would remember!

[@frankgoeyvaerts715]

I like Howard Stern so holier than thou when he used to try to manipulate women on his show to take their clothes off to make believe needed to sit on his lap and he was in love with them not the saint but oh how he plays the saint now wow

[@ajgonzalez5109]

she was 18 in 93 plus 8 years makes it 1999 or 2000. Pearl Harbor came out in 2001 and was produced by BOTH Bay and Bruckheimer.

[@raha1277]

Weirdly it’s shady and immoral but not illegal at that point, from what she said he didn’t threaten to ruin her career if she didn’t do something or promise her something if she did, that’s the line and he probably knows it which is why he’s still producing.
