The 47-year-old writer, whose films credits also include ‘Stardust’ and ‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’, stated in an interview with the Guardian newspaper that she was groped at a taxi rank by the star who put his hands down her pants.
And she spoke of her shame at trying to pass off the incident as a funny anecdote to her daughters.
“My daughters responded by saying, 'You mean you were sexually assaulted?' And I thought, 'Hang on, I should be as outraged as [my daughters] are,” she said. “In a society where a 16-year-old getting groped by a dude, while she's waiting for a taxi, is considered a funny anecdote, I'm contributing by telling it like that.”
