Paul Schrader issues after being accused of sexual harassment

The director and screenwriter Paul Schrader is currently faced with public accusations of sexual harassment of an anonymous woman who previously worked as assistant, as well as charges not to pay a regulation linked to these same allegations. By VarietySchrader, 78, has refused complaints, which focus on incidents that would have taken place in 2024, when he was in Cannes (with his former 26 -year -old assistant) to support his film Oh, Canada– as well as a longer period in which the Doe Jane in question says that Schrader submitted it several times to “almost inappropriate sexual questions and obscene and misogynist comments”.

The lawyers of Doe say that Schrader dismissed her in September 2024 after refusing his advances, which would have included an incident in which the Taxi driver The writer called him in his hotel room to assert that he was “dying”, only to show him his penis when he arrived, and an incident where Schrader “asked Ms. Doe goes to her hotel room, imprinted her inside, grabbed her arms and pushed her face into his to kiss her against her will, then hold her in the hotel room.” After his dismissal, DOE lawyers concluded a settlement agreement with the representatives of Schrader, but he finally refused to sign him after several weeks late, saying that he “could not live with himself” if he did it. Schrader’s lawyers responded by noting that they recognize two incidents in which Schrader tried to kiss Doe during the “nights of drinking”, which Cannes in May 2024 – but said that he had fallen two times once it was clear that his advances were not reciprocal.

The lawyers of Doe have deposited their requests before a New York State court today – which makes it all very publicly very public – having simply sought to apply the terms of the regulation agreement designed previously.
