“Speaking out has been one of the proudest things I’ve ever done,” Natasha Henstridge says of her decision to go on the record five years ago amid MeToo. “I’m so glad I did it, to this day.”
On Nov. 1, 2017, The Times published an investigation in which six women accused director Brett Ratner of. One of the women, actor Natasha Henstridge, said Ratner strong-armed her and physically forced her to perform oral sex on him in the early 1990s, when she was 19. Ratner, through his attorney Martin Singer, categorically disputed all of the women’s allegations.
I had very powerful people telling me not to speak out. There were so many fears. Never working again. Getting bullied. Getting sued. I was afraid. I was really afraid for my safety for a long time. I thought I was being followed. Maybe it was paranoia, I don’t know. It was important for me to be that person, because I felt like I’d failed so many women until that moment. I had not shared the thing that happened to me. I had not stopped the same thing from happening again.
I left town for a few days after The Times article was published. I was super scared — for my physical safety, for my financial security. I was in a guesthouse in Palm Springs, literally shaking. I stayed there for two, three, maybe four days. I didn’t want to come back to L.A. This still follows me. I’ve been in the production van going to work and someone will be talking about how it’s ridiculous that everybody’s being canceled over sexual misconduct. “The pendulum has swung too far,” someone will say. These are conversations happening in the van with me in it, and I’ve had to speak up and say, “You know, guys, this happened to me.”
