The award-winning actress shared her traumatic experience Saturday while addressing a crowd of thousands gathered in downtown Los Angeles for the Women's March.

quote:

Portman remembered turning 12 on the set of "Léon: The Professional." It was her first film. She played a young girl who befriended a hit man in hopes of avenging the murder of her parents, she said.

A year later, when the movie was released, she opened her first fan letter. It was a "rape fantasy" from a man.


quote:

"A countdown was started on my local radio show to my 18th birthday -- euphemistically the date that I would be legal to sleep with," she said. "Movie reviewers talked about my budding breasts in reviews. I understood very quickly, even as a 13-year-old, that if I were to express myself sexually I would feel unsafe and that men would feel entitled to discuss and objectify my body to my great discomfort."

A victim of a letter from a random perv that she never interacted with? It's shite like this that is killing their movement

I could have sworn I heard an audio clip from her basically saying she had never experienced anything but thought it was crazy all of the #metoo stories were coming out.

She's the one who has objectified her body, starting with those very awkward scenes in The Professional. She's hot but I've always found her creepy as hell just because of that movie. It was very much intended to titillate perverts.

This.

Look. She was 13. She was being told what to do. I like the movie Beautiful Girls. She's in that as well and plays the cute little Lolita neighbor kid there too. So she is not entirely wrong. Some adults sent her down a path. Luckily she was talented enough to succeed. Could have ended differently.

One man's sexual terrorist is another's sexual freedom fighter.

I deny that I ever used the pause/slow motion/ rewind feature on my DVR to view her butt in V for Vendetta when she was 24. That would mean I am a monster. I am not a monster .
