People who sell themselves call innocent ones? Let me tell you what is called innocent ok. People who never think of selling themselves. People who reject when asked. That’s then called innocent.
Jennifer Lopez had her own #MeToo moment years ago, but it did not turn out as planned for her would-be abuser.
The singer, actress and producer told Harper's Bazaar magazine in an interview published on March 15 that early in her career she was asked to show off her breasts. She refused.
Lopez said she had not experienced the kind of sexual assault recounted by many other women in Hollywood.
"But have I been told by a director to take off my shirt and show my boobs? Yes, I have. But did I do it? No, I did not," Lopez, now 48, told the magazine.
"When I did speak up, I was terrified. I remember my heart beating out of my chest, thinking, 'What did I do? This man is hiring me!' It was one of my first movies. But in my mind I knew the behavior wasn't right," she added.
Lopez did not identify the man or the movie.
She credited her upbringing in New York City's tough Bronx borough in the 1970s for her refusal.
