I'm guessing from the vague context that they tried to spring a nude scene on her. Probably happens a lot, hire a girl for a party scene or whatever then once you have them there you tell them it's actually a sex scene or topless or whatever. Then the actress feels sort of trapped, you're already there, you're gonna get fired if you say no, you might not get more work if you refuse, etc.

It was Ballers. Season 1 episode 3 Laura is 1 of 7 groupies. Laura does cocaine on a yacht. 1 groupie shows her tits several cuts later there's 2 topless women. Laura is seen dancing in a blue dress. Then cut back to the topless women dancing later 2 black guys sniff cocaine off of their tits. This has nothing to do with Laura but I thought it was funny The Rock punches one of the black guys that was sniffing cocaine into the DJ booth knocking it over along with the laptop computer and the DJ. The music stops everybody on the dance floor looks at the Rock judgingly. The DJ has to pick himself up along with the booth and laptop in the meantime the Rock gives a speech then the white guy (Rob Corddry) says the n-word and the black football team throw him into the ocean.

I think it was Ballers. She was only in one episode. It was a party scene on a Yacht. Dwayne Johnson was not a producer on that episode and he isn't credited as a "show runner". So it comes down to Peter Berg or Evan Reilly. I can definitely see Dwayne being upset and extremely apologetic if she was mistreated. As far as what happened given the setting for the scenes she was in I'm going to guess someone tried to write in scenes where her character was doing something sexual or something that while not on screen nudity would get her clothes off. That's definitely the kind of BS I could see happening. I'm a guy and if I were a perv and a low life it's something that would cross my mind.

Take solace in this.. The challenge is the director and AD’s.

I had a slightly better interaction with some else hours earlier. When she finally stopped acting like a little immature brat. She looked at me and I had a superman shirt in my bag that I had brought from home for her to sign and maybe hopefully get a photo with her. She told me I didn't have enough money for her. So she told me. Hurry up. You only have fifteen minutes to go to the ATM. Come on swing out of here. So jokingly I sprint off to the ATM. lol. When I came back she was gone. I dought anyone really went up to her that day. Empty booth most of the day I bet. lol. Extremely rude and detestable. I will never go back to ComicCon.

I highly doubt it, and there are some people who apparently don't even know Supergirl well and think so, they don't seem to know what they are talking about, it's obvsly. The cast seems to be very friendly, even in interviews and events.

[@anurb.s.c.anurb.s.c.2329]

​@@danielmims8467 Have you ever watched the show, or researched the cast, or seen the cast interview? They seem really friendly and wellcomming with the guests, and have had a lot of them from the old shows. I think if it were, Erica Durance wouldn't even have come back to make more appearances, nor would the other characters would have. Why do you think that? Just because the main lead is a female?

[@Bear78420]

The fact that people think they are being nice to not call out scumbags is just weak. The next person who gets abused by that person is now your fault too for not blowing the whistle on them. Sick of mf’ers protecting CRIMINALS.

[@cainabel2009]

I respect Laura a lot but I wish she actually told us what happened instead of being very vague. If the actor in question treated you this way then is no need to protect her. The thing I love about Inside of you is when the guests arrive they bare their souls, john Schneider talked about some of hardest thing he went through like his having cancer, going to jail, the actor who played Chuck talked about his trouble, Jensen talked about how he did not get on with Jessica Alba in Darkangel but Laura just danced around subject. This actress and this show that caused you to feel that way do not deserve your silence. It also like when Harry said someone in his family asked his wife about the baby's race but in a way that made it seem like it was not just asking. Harry did not give names but it said it was not queen. A lot of people took to social media to say that he should have just said the name because it cast a huge net.

[@Auron710]

it was not the actors etc it sounds like they wanted some nudity off her on the fly and she was never warned of it. things got seedily rewritten overnight or on the hour by the sounds of what she said and if that's not what she signed on for then it made her uncomfortable. It would be the directors or producers demanding that kind of stuff most likely thinking its HBO and sex sells. Actors are terrified to call people out incase that means they never work again. If HBO do not wanna discrdit themselves by taking her side, she would never work for them again and they make high profit successful adult series. game of thrones, the wire, true detective ..... to name a few.

[@Wiser1FOREVER]

Sorry Michael, it did seem like Laura might have been a bit uncomfortable with your cursing! Mind you, I had no problem with it. Your perspective on some things is hilarious because of your colorful language!

[@sam432ful]

Really? Cos I’d like to think Dwayne Johnson wouldn’t stand for that? And he is the lead isn’t he?

[@crithon]

@@sam432ful That's the only HBO show I could see on her IMDB. She's not on the Deuce and James Franco few days ago has paid out his antics with female actresses, because the way she describes it, it sounds what Franco did. Just improving "we are a loving couple," could be difficult, and who knows a party scene, an actor who doesn't get too many scenes with a pretty girl gets all handsy. It's D bag move, and guys do get away with it on major film releases. There's lots of stories of the woman's surprise expression, and turned out the guy is nude under a blanket. But what's worse is, if she doesn't do the scene, then she gets a rep of "difficult to work with." But she said they had a Metoo, so who knows that person could be outed, and they apologized to her.

How is them rewriting a scene to include sexual acts that you didn't originally know of or agree to a "#metoo" thing? It's def a thing, but I don't know about it being specifically a "Metoo" thing. Feel like "Metoo" is on a different level. I guess she may need to provide more specifics, not enough information.

[@maximusaurelius9906]

I'm a bit conflicted about this one. While it's a shame that she felt so uncomfortable that she had to leave the set and the show, she seems to be implying that they changed the script to add some unexpected nude scenes or sex scenes involving her. While that may not be best way to run a show or treat actors, I think she also misunderstood why she was hired. I do not think her acting ability was at the top of the list, nor do I think she's ever seen an HBO show. I wonder if she's talking about HBO's Ballers? I do not mean to insult her acting, because she is a more than capable actress, but I think looks/appearance were simply higher on the list of reasons that she got the job that she left. Ultimately, she did the right thing in leaving the sett and then the show if she feels that she was being mistreated or that the show was trying to put her in a compromising position. Loved her on Smallville, V and the first few episodes of Bitten that I've seen.

[@nickhydier1201]

I absolutely agree with you that it was good and wise of Laura to leave the set if she felt uncomfortable in that situation. And she did the right thing. Because she never derserves to be treated in any way that makes her feel uncomfortable or feels wrong. Nor does anyone else. Love Laura in Smallville, V and Bitten. Especially in Smallville as Supergirl. Where she has shown the most strength and given me the most inspiration, especially personally. She is always my Supergirl.

The simple fact to open up about something that personal is already huge... For her. And that is what matters the most. A minute and a half of very intense, very intimate stuff, coming out publicly ; it takes courage to do what she did.

[@lilamontoya5609]

She said its a #metoo situation So she was sexually harassed or sexually assaulted Which is saying something And takes courage You should actually watch "Promising Young Woman" helps perspective

[@Whoo_Boy]

@@lilamontoya5609 I got the feeling that by the way Laura described the situation, it was more of an atmosphere of "grooming" where she had not yet been harassed or assaulted, but she could see it coming. As you know, grooming means that an atmosphere has intentionally been made to exist for the purpose of causing somebody or some people to drop their guard as it pertains to certain behaviors, most notably sex acts.
