Hollywood actor Matthew Lawrence has shared his experience with sexual harassment in Hollywood during an episode of his “Brotherly Love” podcast.
He stated that an agency fired him when he refused to strip for a director involved in a Marvel Studios project.
The 43-year-old actor discussed the entertainment industry’s dark side, stating he faced frequent role propositions.
He disclosed that he lost his agency for leaving the hotel room of a prominent Oscar award-winning director. The director showed up in his robe, asked him to remove his clothes, and said he needed to take Polaroids of him.
Lawrence stated that there is a double standard for men admitting they were subject to such circumstances. He specifically honed in on actor Terry Crews and his allegations that an agent groped him at a Hollywood party.
Lawrence’s revelations shed light on the pervasive issue of sexual harassment in not just Hollywood but also Nollywood and the need for more accountability in the entertainment industry worldwide.
