‘I’m not going to smile and look like I’m allowing this behaviour.’
Katherine outlined the choice that she had to make between working with someone who she believed to be a perpetrator of sexual assault, or turning down a job.‘Those were my options, so I wrestled with that. I thought, “What am I meant to do in this instance? Am I meant to go and be near someone that I think these things about.”’ she questioned.
The TV star continued: ‘But the choice is, do I go to work with someone that I think is very problematic and do I stand near them and laugh and smile and look like I am allowing this kind of person to still be on television, or do I stay home? And that was really difficult for me. That’s what I wrestled with the most.
‘I’m not going to smile and look like I’m allowing this behaviour. I’m not going to let him think that I don’t know and that everybody he works with is going to let him get away with it. So that is the attitude that I took into the show,’ she recollected.
