Gal Gadot backs out of Awards dinner honouring Brett Ratner

Nina Gordon, a spokeswoman working on the event, said the organisation was told that Gal Gadot had a scheduling conflict. “Apparently she is stuck on promo stuff for ‘Justice League’ for China, and she’s not going to be back in time. We just found this out and everyone is scrambling,” Gordon said.

In an Instagram post on Friday, Gadot said, “That’s it for now, China. Thank you for having us.” The news of Gal’s withdrawal from the event comes as leading Hollywood figures face increasing scrutiny in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein sex harassment scandal.

Ratner was once accused of masturbating in front of actor Olivia Munn on a movie set. Ratner is also close friends with director James Toback, whom more than 300 women have recently accused of sexual misconduct.

Gal Gadot posted recently on Instagram saying “Bullying and sexual harassment is unacceptable! I stand by all the courageous women confronting their fears and speaking out. Together we stand. We are all united in this time of change.”
