Reflecting on her #MeToo story from the time she was starting out as a 20-year-old young actor, Michelle Pfeiffer says she once had an “inappropriate” moment, among many, with a “high powered” person in the industry.

The veteran actor said like every woman, she too, went through the process of “self-blame”.

She said in the early days of the #MeToo movement, she thought she didn’t experience anything of that sort.

“First, I thought, ‘Well, I didn’t experience that,’ but then as time went on I started going, ‘Well, actually, there was that one time’.

“There’s that process you go through – denial, self-blame, ‘I shouldn’t have worn that dress,’ ‘I should’ve known.’ You look at it through a grown-up lens and think, ‘Wow, I was a kid’,” Pfeiffer told The Sunday Times Magazine of her experience in wake of the movement.

“There were a number of situations that were not good. Like one incident – I am not going to share – but I look back and I cringe. I was really uncomfortable and it was inappropriate. I put it in a drawer. I was 20, and it was with a high-powered person in the industry,” the Maleficent: Mistress of Evil actor added.

Pfeiffer, 61, didn’t reveal the name of the man in question, but added if he was still alive, she would write to him.
