Actress was asked if she ‘spat or swallowed’ after oral s** by film producer

Zoe Kazan, a 33-year-old actress known for her role in “The Big Sick,” has spoken out about the rampant s**ual harassment on Hollywood sets.

She claims that she has been asked s**ually explicit questions and given inappropriate instructions during auditions.

One producer even asked her if she “spat or swallowed” after oral s**.

According to Kazan, the producer in question laughed off the crude question as a joke.

However, the actress says that the lewd language still had a damaging effect on her.

Kazan also stated that she has been asked to give “b***-job eyes” at auditions, along with other actresses.

“I have a lot of girlfriends who are amazing actors, and many times we’ve talked about having to go into a room and give ‘b*** job eyes,'” she said.

“It’s the sense that your s**uality is somehow baked into this situation.”

Kazan believes that many of the roles she is offered fuel stereotypes about men and women.

She noted that her boyfriend of 10 years, Paul Dano, is often offered a wider range of roles that allow him to show emotion, while she is often pigeonholed into playing stereotypical female roles.

“We talk a lot right now about ‘toxic masculinity,’ but it’s a real thing,” she said.

“Paul is a very emotional person… He’s very sensitive, and the art he responds to is very emotional.

And yet, nine times out of ten [in a role], I have to cry, and he rarely has to cry.”

Kazan is not the only actress to experience discrimination on Hollywood sets.

Debra Messing has spoken out about a director who made a rude comment about her nose during a love scene with Keanu Reeves.

Kate Beckinsale has also been discriminated against.

She claims that director Michael Bay once said that she wasn’t attractive enough to alienate the female audience.

According to Kazan, the discrimination leaves women in a catch-22 because they struggle to voice their discomfort out of fear of being seen as difficult to work with.

“There’s so much s**ual harassment on set. And there’s no HR department,” she said.

“We don’t have a redress. We have our union, but no one ever resorts to that, because you don’t want to get a reputation for being difficult… You leave the situation feeling not good about what just happened, but you don’t really have the language for why.

“You feel like, if you said something, it would reflect badly on you.”

Kazan’s experiences are not unique.

s**ual harassment has been a problem in Hollywood for many years.

However, despite the progress that has been made, Hollywood still has a long way to go.

Women are still underrepresented in many areas of the industry, and many feel that they are not taken seriously or treated with the same respect as their male colleagues.

In recent years, Hollywood has made some efforts to address the issue.

The Time’s Up movement was launched in 2018 to fight against s**ual harassment and inequality in the workplace.

Many high-profile actors and actresses have spoken out about their experiences, and there have been some high-profile cases of abusers being brought to justice.

However, there is still much work to be done.

Hollywood needs to create a culture of respect and equality, where everyone feels safe and valued.

This will require a collective effort from all those involved in the industry, from producers and directors to actors and crew members.

In the meantime, actresses like Zoe Kazan are doing their part to raise awareness about the problem.

By speaking out about their experiences, they are helping to shine a light on the issue and encourage others to come forward with their own stories.

Kazan hopes that by speaking out, she can help to create a safer and more inclusive environment for all women in Hollywood.

Kazan remains optimistic about the future.

“I feel hopeful that things are changing,” she said.

“I think we’re in a moment where people are starting to realize that this kind of behavior is not acceptable, and that there need to be consequences for it.”

“We have to stand together and support each other, and not be afraid to speak out,” she said.

“It’s not just about one person or one incident, it’s about a larger culture that needs to change.”

As Kazan said, “I’m hopeful that we’re at the beginning of a new era, where people will be held accountable for their actions and where women will be able to work in an environment that is safe and inclusive.”
