“This whole talk of luring her to my room, on top of her, getting off, holding her in the car and calling her jailbait is just outright hyperbole and lies,” Kramer told Variety in response to the allegations. She said Kramer “was responsible for my safety” on the film. Dushku said that she then broke ribs in a stunt that went awry, calling it “no small coincidence”. She confided to an adult female friend, who then allegedly confronted Kramer on the set.

“Now, especially when I have daughters, there really is no mercy.”ĭushku, who appeared in the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the film Bring It On, joins the growing ranks of those alleging sexual misconduct by men in the entertainment industry. “Had I known about it, there would have been no mercy,” said Cameron, who was taking part in a Q&A event with critics last weekend to promote a new TV show.
True Lies film-maker James Cameron said he was unaware of what he called Dushku’s “heartbreaking” experience and said she was brave for speaking up. “I never sexually molested her … I think she’s making this up in her imagination.” Cameron also added that "Eliza is very brave for speaking up, and I think all the women are that are speaking up and calling for a reckoning now." He went on to say that Hollywood (and all industries) needs to "create a safe avenue for people to speak up, that they feel safe and that anybody that might be a predator or an abuser knows that that mechanism is there, that it’s encouraged and there’s no shame around it and there will be consequences.“These are outlandish, manipulated lies,” Kramer told the website Deadline. While speaking at the Television Critics Association press tour, he said that he would have shown "no mercy" if he had heard about it at the time. "At the time, Eliza was too scared to tell the whole story and in a way I think she protected me from knowing because she knew how frightened I was of the powerful men on the set." Eliza's brother, Aaron Dushku, provided a comment to Deadline, saying: "I support my sister and believe it all to be true."įollowing the news of her story, True Lies director James Cameron was asked about the allegations. "It was years later that I finally understood fully what really happened," she wrote. As noted by Deadline, Eliza's mother posted a comment corroborating her daughter's story on the actress’s Facebook post.
