Melissa Gilbert Accuses Oliver Stone Of Sexual Harassment: "It Was Humiliating And Horrid"

• http://deadline.com, by Dino-Ray Ramos

At first, Gilbert told her story without naming any names. She kept the accusations very anonymous saying that she was humiliated during an audition because she had "embarrassed him in a social situation." Gilbert ended up running out of the room crying.

"I'm actually sitting here telling you this story, afraid to say his name, because I'm worried about backlash," she said in the interview. After being reluctant she eventually said, "Oh f*** it! It was Oliver Stone, and it was The Doors."

Gilbert says the role she was auditioning for was the Meg Ryan's character. She goes into detail about the scene she had him read — a scene he said he wrote especially for her. The scene had her on her hands and knees saying, "Do me, baby." Gilbert said that Stone asked her to stage it and she refused and left the audition crying.
