"Little House on the Prairie" star Melissa Gilbert says she understands the power dynamic that's fueling today's numerous accounts of sexual misconduct in Hollywood. She alleges that Oliver Stone used a sexually-charged audition to get revenge on her for disparaging remarks she made about him in public.
"There were moments where there were men in more powerful positions, one in particular, who humiliated me at one point in an audition, and unnecessarily, because I had embarrassed him in a social situation," she said Monday on SiriusXM radio show "Andy Cohen Live." "He got back at me, and I ran out of the room crying. I’m actually sitting here telling you this story afraid to say his name because I’m worried about backlash."
Gilbert said the incident occurred while she was auditioning for 1991's "The Doors" movie. Stone told her he had a "special scene" he wanted her to read with an actor in order to see their chemistry.
She then explained, "The whole scene was just my character on her hands and knees saying, ‘Do me, baby.’ Really dirty, horrible. Then he said, 'I'd like you to stage it for me.'"
Gilbert said she refused to physically act out the scene and left the audition.
"I left crying, and I never really talked about it," she told Cohen. "It was all because I had said something and embarrassed him publicly."
After telling the story, Gilbert finally named the director: 'F--- it, it was Oliver Stone and it was 'The Doors' movie.
Representatives for Stone didn't immediately respond to INSIDER's request for comment.
Gilbert's account of the power dynamic abused by men in Hollywood is just the latest in a string of allegations surfacing. Many notable Hollywood figures including the actors Kevin Spacey and Ed Westwick have been accused of sexual misconduct ranging from harassment to rape since an October 5 New York Times exposé detailed allegations going back decades against the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
