Rebecca Romijn breaks silence on ‘X-Men’ filmmaker MeToo allegations
that it was hard to reconcile Singer’s filmmaking — which she claims to have had a positive experience with — with his actions.
“He’s a fantastic filmmaker, you know? It was amazing watching him work. And you have to decide if you want to try and separate those two things. I know that the other cast confronted him about things. But I was not a part of that. I wasn’t there for it, so I can’t really speak to it,” she said. drama on set, and I witnessed it and I heard a lot about it. And he sometimes didn’t come in prepared.
Still, she didn’t speak up at the time that the #MeToo movement was at its height, because she felt that the information was already public, and Ratner had “gotten his.”“But he’s been cancelled. I haven’t spoken up about anything with regard to #MeToo, because I had two major issues with two directors I’ve worked with – and both of them already got theirs, one of them being Brett Ratner.”
“I didn’t feel like I needed to say anything. I know the two people that I worked with had it coming, and they got theirs… I don’t need to say anything else.”Romijn also spoke about playing a trans character, Alexis, in ABC’s “Ugly Betty.” “The executives at the time didn’t love the idea of the character,” Romijn said. “There was a real boys’ club running the show behind the scenes at that point. So to try and make it palatable to the boys’ club…they pitched me. And I jumped at the chance.”Share this article:
