Chloe Sevigny was raped in Kids and then blew Vincent Gallo in The Brown Bunny. I mean her character did these things. In real life, Sevigny is a little more demure and told the Vanity Fair panel at Cannes that she refused advances from 3 different well-known directors.
“I’ve had the ‘what are you doing after this?’ conversation,” the actress said at Variety’s Cannes Film Festival panel on Wednesday. “I’ve also had the ‘do you want to go shopping and try on some clothes and, like, I can buy you something in the dressing room’ [conversation],” she added. “Just like crossing-the-line weirdness.”
Another time, she remembers a director told her, ” ‘You should show your body off more. You shouldn’t wait until you’re as old as this certain actress who had just been naked in a film, you should be naked on screen now.’
Asked if she considered it sexual harassment, Chloe said it was more just “Hollywood”. Not crossing the line, but skeevy as hell. Yep, sounds Hollywood alright. Hollywood is like the dirty uncle who asks his hot niece to sit on his lap and give him a kiss.
I’m not buying the innocent routine. I wonder how many directors and power executives got to audition her BJ skills before she got the part in Brown Bunny?
