We all knew it was f**king unacceptab­le... that’s what Hollywood is. I thought we all knew we were sex workers. EZRA MILLER ACTOR

In a backlash against sexual harassment, actor Ezra Miller of the Justice League and Fantastic Beasts fame has come out with his #MeToo story, recounting how an unnamed director and producer took advantage of him when he was a minor in the entertainm­ent industry.

“It was about time that people in Hollywood knew what kind of behaviour is acceptable and what is not,” Miller tells The Hollywood Reporter. He adds, “It’s a great f**kin’ age of being like, ‘You know what? That sh*t’s unacceptab­le. And it’s amazing for a lot of us to watch. ’Cause, like, we all knew it was unacceptab­le when we f**king survived it. That’s what Hollywood is. I thought we all knew we were sex workers.”

This is the first time the actor has shared his story. “They gave me wine and I was underage,” Miller recounts, without taking names.“They were like, ‘Hey, want to be in our movie about gay revolution?’ And I was like, ‘No, you guys are monsters.’”

Miller has praised the #MeToo movement for being a watershed moment that spelt the downfall of many Hollywood stalwarts such as producer Harvey Weinstein, filmmaker Brett Ratner, and actor Kevin Spacey.
