Actress Abigail Breslin said a lawsuit was filed against her after she reported a male co-star’s “unprofessional behavior,” adding that she was deemed “hysterical” and told her “fears were figments of my imagination.”

“When did the word woman become synonymous with scapegoat?” Breslin asked at the beginning of her lengthy statement posted to social media. “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,” the Little Miss Sunshine star continued.
