Melissa Gilbert has accused director Oliver Stone of sexual harassment during her audition for his 1991 film The Doors.
The actor first told her story without naming Stone on Andy Cohen's satellite radio show Radio Andy (via Deadline), stating she was "afraid to say his name, because I'm worried about backlash".
After sustained reluctance, however, she eventually said: "Oh f*ck it! It was Oliver Stone, and it was The Doors."
She says the role she had auditioned for was Meg Ryan's character, Pamela Courson, and that the scene she was made to read had been written especially for her. She alleged it involved her on her hands and knees saying, "Do me baby." Gilbert said that Stone asked her to stage it and that she refused and left the audition in tears.
"I never really talked about it — and it was all because I had said something and embarrassed him publicly,” she said. "He wrote this special scene that he wanted me to do for him physically in the casting room, and it was humiliating and horrid." She added, "He got me back and it hurt."
Gilbert's accusations against Stone follows allegations made by former Playboy model Carrie Stevens that the director groped her during a party.
The director also backpedalled on comments which seemed to defend Harvey Weinstein, saying "it's not easy" for the former Hollywood producer, stating that he had not been aware of all the women who had come out in support of the New York Times' original story.
A representative for Stone has been contacted for comment.
