Jena Malone shares that she was sexually assaulted, reflects on filming The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part Two

Malone does not share any details on who the assaulter was, and if it was someone she was working with on the Hunger Games set or a coworker from a previous project. In a comment on the post, she says she has not outed the person in question due to “cancel-like culture.”

She concludes her post by saying, “It’s been hard to talk about the Hunger Games and [character] Johanna Mason without feeling the sharpness of this moment in time but I’m ready to move thru it and reclaim the joy and accomplishment I felt. Lots of love to you survivors out there. The process is so slow and non-linear. I want to say I’m here for anyone who needs to talk or vent or open uncommunicated spaces within themselves.”

Earlier last month, Malone reflected on the macro effects of the #MeToo movement on the industry.

“I think the things to be optimistic about is building language, learning to add words and vernacular to things that have not been well languaged in the past, learning how to build allyship, specifically for your own well-being,” Malone told IndieWire. “I think that’s a really cool byproduct of where #MeToo started and is now veering into because of the pandemic. It’s a really beautiful awareness of not just power structures, but also, ‘Honey, we need rest. Let’s have better hours on set, let’s be kind to each other.’”
