In a new interview, Vogue magazine 48-year-old Tandy Newton told that she faced a negative reaction in 2016 after he spoke about the experienced sexual harassment. It was a year before the #Metoo movement appeared in Hollywood.
The British actress remembered how he dismissed his publicist who asked her to stop talking about Abyuza, because it "badly affect her reputation."
In the summer of 2016, the actress told in an interview with W Magazine, that on one of the auditions, the director climbed to her the camera under the skirt, and then showed this video to friends while playing poker.
"It was an injury for me. I was shocked by the fact that the director did it with me, a young actress, and that my case was not the only one. Many minors were subject to violence. I hoped that someone would support me and say: "So, and what should we do with it?" "Newton shared.
Also in a conversation with Vogue, the actress noted that Tandy is an erroneous version of her name, which in the original sounds like Tandil. From Sean, a language common in Zimbabwe, this means "Favorite".
"I was pointed out as Tandi in the titles of the very first film, and so it remains. But I am Tandeva. This is my name. I want to return it, "the actress explained.
