Actress Charlotte Lewis Claims Roman Polanski “Forced Himself Upon Me”

Posted by Jacob Morris on May 15th, 2010

On Friday afternoon actress Charlotte Lewis held a press conference with attorney Gloria Allred, saying that when she was 16 years old Roman Polanski sexually victimized her, reports E! Online.

Lewis claims that the incident occurred in Paris at Polanski’s apartment, four years after the director left the United States—fleeing before he could be sentenced for his first known sex crime.

Lewis stated, “Mr. Polanski knew I was only 16 years old when he met me and forced himself upon me in his apartment in Paris,” continuing, “He took advantage of me, and I have lived with the effects of his behavior ever since it occurred.”  Lewis is now 42 years old.

Although the age of consent in France is 15 years old, what Lewis is alleging is that there was no consent involved—which, as you would expect, is very much illegal.

The timing for Lewis to step forward with these allegations comes as Polanski fights extradition to the U.S. where he would face sentencing for his first offence, which he has admitted to.  Lewis wants to make sure his alleged actions are taken into consideration for how Polanski will be depicted in court.

“The defense, for example, may wish to portray their client as a loving father, and a law-abiding citizen after he fled and failed to appear for his sentencing,” said Allred.

This new information suggests Polanski’s life after fleeing the U.S. wasn’t squeaky clean, and could have an effect on how he’s perceived.  Allred stated, “The judge, however, can also consider credible claims of predatory conduct after Mr. Polanski fled when determining the appropriate sentence for Mr. Polanski.”

Polanski resides in Switzerland and is under house arrest.

Warner Bros President’s Sexist Decree

Posted by andPOP Staff on October 9th, 2007

Warner Bros president of production Jeff Robinov has decided that the company will “no longer [produce] movies with women in the lead.”

This brutal policy came from the mere fact that two recent Warner movies starring Jodie Foster and Nicole Kidman (The Brave One and The Invasion respectively) did not do well at the box office.

“It’s a phenomenal thing to say. What are we in the 1700s where women are back to being barefoot and pregnant?” said an anonymous producer. “What’s next — fire all the Warner Bros women executives?”

In response to Robinov’s new policy, Gloria Allred made the following statement:

“If that’s what he said, when movies with men as the lead fail, no one says we’ll stop making movies with men in the lead. This is an insult to all moviegoers and particularly women. It is truly unfortunate that women get blamed for decisions which are made by men. Instead of taking responsibility for their own lack of judgment about which scripts to make, directors to hire and budgets to OK, some men in the movie industry find it easier to place blame for their lack of success on women leads and to exclude talented female actors from the top employment opportunities in Hollywood in favour of macho males. If that studio confirms that their policy is to now exclude women as leads, then my policy would be to boycott films made by Warner Bros.”
