Abigail Breslin Reported a Co-Star’s ‘Unprofessional Behavior’ and Then a Lawsuit ‘Was Filed Against Me’: I Was Deemed ‘Hysterical’ and ‘Told My Fears Were’ Not Real

Abigail Breslin posted a lengthy statement on both her Tumblr and Instagram accounts in which she remembered being called “hysterical” after speaking out about a co-star’s unprofessional behavior. The “Little Miss Sunshine” Oscar nominee implied that she was inspired to post after Blake Lively filed a sexual harassment complaint against her “It Ends With Us” co-star and director Justin Baldoni. Kate Beckinsale was similarly inspired to share her own set harassment stories after Lively’s complaint.
“When did the word woman become synonymous with scapegoat?” Breslin asked at the start of her post. “As I see the news each day, I realize this is the world we seem to live in. In light of recent events regarding the attempt to destroy the career and livelihood of a fellow actress and woman, I have felt compelled to write this, as I have unfortunately been subject to the same toxic masculinity throughout my life.
