Now Patty Jenkins is distancing herself from Brett Ratner
Six women, including Olivia Munn and Natasha Henstridge, have now said Brett Ratner sexually harassed or assaulted them. They shared their stories with the Los Angeles Times, putting on the record the “open secret” that was Ratner’s predatory behavior. And so began a domino effect of people expressing the desire of wanting to have nothing to do with the director and RatPac founder. Playboy put Ratner’s long-simmering Hugh Hefner biopic on hold, and the purported star of that film, Jared Leto—whom Ratner claimed had specifically asked to be cast as the late Playboy founder—said he’d never actually been involved. And after Warner Bros., which has many dealings with Ratner, said it’s looking into the allegations, the director recused himself from his duties with the studio.
