‘Orange Is The New Black’ Actress Yael Stone Accuses Geoffrey Rush Of Inappropriate Behavior
Deadline ^ | December 16, 2018 | Dino-Ray Ramos

Posted on 12/16/2018 6:24:46 PM PST by EdnaMode

Orange is the New Black star Yael Stone has come forward with allegations of inappropriate behavior against Academy Award-winning actor Geoffrey Rush, who was accused last year of another case of misconduct.

Stone said that she has been afraid to talk about her experiences with Rush who she starred in a stage production of The Diary of a Madman in 2010 and 2011. According to an interview with the New York Times, she said that he danced naked in front of her, used a mirror to watch her shower and sent erotic text messages. At the time, Stone was 25 and Rush was 59.

In her interview, Stone said she did not come forward with the allegations because she was worried that Australia’s defamation laws would bring her into legal and financial problems because of its stringent libel laws. In a statement given to the NYT, Rush denied the allegations saying that they “are incorrect and in some instances have been taken completely out of context.”

Well, in his defense I will say that Rush plays a good pirate.

Can’t say I’ve ever heard of any of them OR the show.

Too busy watching old movies with real actors like Bogart, The Duke and others of those generations.

Currently watching “Tarzan the Ape Man” (1932), Weismullers first. Been years since I’ve seen it, and I can envision millions of tiny liberal heads popping like bubble wrap at some of the scenes in that one.

The first couple seasons of OITNB are great. You should check it out.

I agree. This last season I haven't really been able to get in to but the first few were pretty good. Netflix has announced that Season 7, next year, will be the series finale.

No, hot Aussie actress who plays New Yorker Lorna Morello.

I paid twenty-five bucks to stream “The Nightflyers,” a ten episode season that starts on SyFy sometime this month. If you like outstanding graphics (not CGI, they say), high production value, and action-dense sci-fi, watch for it. It’s arguably better than Battlestar Galactica. And if you like Gretchen Mol, well...

I don’t give a rat.s-azz but was the dancing naked thing while he was watching her shower via a mirror? If so, that’s remarkable and make a great Hollywood Christmas card. Wish I was 59 again I’d ask the wife if we could try it. The answer would be NO! But at 66 I’d be embarrassed to mention it. 😜😜😜

We caught White Christmas on the big screen last week.

Good movie.

I rarely watch any new stuff. Most is horrid, poorly made, or too liberal.

The Rookie is decent.
