The defence that it was a rehearsal isn’t a defence. You still need clear boundaries, and to make both actors comfortable. There still should have been an intimacy coordinator.
This isn’t nice for male actors either, they could have been abused themselves. They could have heard it happening to a parent or sibling growing up. If the lawsuit is correct it’s just awful all round.
Uhh… Someone was literally raped on set, in front of an audience, and no one got arrested? Are you fucking serious?
No, it was a depiction of fictional rape for the film. Given the coercion, lack of protocol, and the way she was physically handled make it a sexual assault in my opinion, but legally-speaking I think she can only complain about the contract violation and retaliatory behavior causing financial damages.
Yeah, it’s pretty fucked that the male actor didn’t say something about the intimacy coordinator not being present, the fact there wasn’t prior notice, and so on. Definitely makes him complicit at best.
Marlon Brando was a terrible person.
There is a long history of these shenanigans in film. During the filming of “last tango in paris”, the male lead and the director conspired to sodomize the female lead as a “surprise” to get a more genuine “performance”. Roman Polanski drugged and rapped a teenager. The great auteur Kubrick, is famous for harassing and abusing the Shelly Duvall, again, for the sake of her “performance”.
Statistically, for every Weinstein who see’s the inside of a prison for abusing women, ten Woody Alans walk around free. Rape as a sex crime is barely illegal in the US. Rape as a property crime is punished to the full extent…

That had nothing to do with a film. He raped her off set at a friend’s home.
This is fucking disgusting and, as mentioned by others here, literally fucking crime
Moreover, given that Hunt and LaBella are members of the performers union SAG-AFTRA, their intimate scenes would also be subject to the labor group’s regulations, which call for prior notice, consent and a closed set.
...so for non-unionized talents the industry assumes it doesn't need prior notice or consent?
Unions are about collective power, and power brings many things, one of them being survival.
It’s called the Weinstein legacy clause
