Ilana Glazer opens up about firing people because of sexual harassment
It's only been two days since the hashtag #MeToo began spreading, but since then it's inspired thousands of women (and some men) to take to their social media accounts and discuss the sexual harassment or assault they have encountered in their lifetime.
Among the thousands who have been vulnerable are celebrities who have shared their stories online regarding directors, producers and more. Broad City's Ilana Glazer is one who added her voice, by opening up in a note on Instagram.
"I've been sexually harassed countless times," Glazer wrote, including a list of places and jobs she had while being harassed.
"I've fired a couple dudes—one background actor and one sound guy. I was asked 'are you sure?'" she continued. "Yeah I'm fucking sure [because] getting sexually harassed seems to be a constant, but having the opportunity to do something about it is rare."
Glazer thanked fellow actresses Trace Lysette and Viola Davis for sharing the #MeToo hashtag and their own stories "so I felt brave enough," she wrote.
