In a lengthy Twitter thread on Saturday, Rebel Wilson detailed her own experiences with sexual misconduct in Hollywood.

Wilson recalled two separate incidents in her tweets. The first involves a male star in a "position of power," who Wilson said asked her to enter a room with him, then repeatedly requested that she "stick [her] finger up his ass" while his friends filmed on their phones. Wilson also said that after her agent filed a complaint, she was threatened by the male star's representatives.

Additionally, Wilson said that early in her career, a director invited her to his hotel room for what she thought was a professional discussion about comedy.

"Nothing physical happened because the guy's wife called and started abusing him over the phone for sleeping with actresses ... luckily she was yelling so loud that I could hear her and I bolted out of there immediately," she wrote.

Wilson also asserted that she'll no longer be a "polite" bystander to harassment when she sees it. "I will no longer be POLITE," she tweeted. "Interpret that as you will."
