Fisher sent cow’s tongue to producer

Carrie Fisher sent a cow’s tongue to an Oscar-winning producer who assaulted her friend, it has been revealed.

Heather Ross, who works in the industry, praised the late Star Wars actress for being “protective” and a “mother figure” to her.

Ms Ross, who is not an actress, spoke about her experience of being harassed by an unidentified film producer in response to the ongoing Harvey Weinstein scandal.

Ms Ross said she met with the “high-profile, Oscar-winning producer” to discuss a project on which he was working.

She said that he picked her up in his car and that they were going to go out to eat, but then he flipped her seat back and “all of a sudden he was on top of me”.

She added: “He said, ‘You’ll never make a movie in my town, get the F out of my car. I was shocked, I got out of that car… I literally ran. I didn’t know what this guy was going to do to me.”

Fisher said she personally delivered a Tiffany box to his office.

Ms Riss said: “I asked her what was inside and she said, ‘It was a cow tongue from Jerry’s Famous Deli in Westwood with a note that said, if you ever touch my darling Heather or any other woman again, the next delivery will be something of yours in a much smaller box!’”
