The actress who has starred in such films as’ Matilda ‘,’ Miracle on 34th Street ‘or’ Mrs. Doubtfire ‘, made surprising statements.
Mara Wilson, the unforgettable protagonist of the movie ‘Matilda’, among other children’s films, revealed that she was the victim of sexual harassment, but by the media and the public.
The actress who rose to fame with bands like ‘Matilda’, ‘Miracle on 34th Street’ or ‘Mrs. Doubtfire ‘revealed in The New York Times how difficult it has been for her to deal with sexual harassment since she was six years old: reporters asked me if I had a boyfriend, what I thought about Hugh Grant’s arrest for being caught with a prostitute who was the sexiest actor. It was nice when 10 year olds told me they were in love with me, but not when 50 year old men did. “
Mara Wilson confessed that it was traumatic for her that before she was 12 years old, there were images of her on photoshopped fetish websites in child pornography: “I was ashamed,” she noted.
“Hollywood has decided to tackle industry harassment, but I was never sexually harassed on a movie set. My sexual harassment has always been at the hands of the media and the public, ”Wilson admitted.
