Film-maker Brett Ratner accused by six women of sexual misconduct Read moreIn a post from 20 October, Kohler writes that Ratner “preyed” on her at a club “about 12 years ago”, took her to the home of producer Robert Evans, where Ratner was living at the time, and forced himself on her. Excerpts from the post were obtained by way of the libel suit Ratner filed against Kohler after she posted her account online. Kohler wrote that she decided to come forward with her allegation after producer Harvey Weinstein was accused by over 60 women of sexually predatory behavior ranging from harassment to rape. I can’t be an advocate for women speaking out if I don’t speak out, too … Brett Ratner raped me. In a statement made afterward, Ratner wrote that he was “choosing to personally step away from all Warner Bros-related activities”.
