KATHERINE KENDALL, Actress/ Photographer:
Nicely, I used to be you already know, a younger actress, and I had had a proper assembly on the Miramax workplace earlier that day.
After which, on the finish of the assembly, which I assumed went rather well, he invited me to come back to screenings. He stated: “Welcome to the Miramax household. You understand, come to premieres, screenings, et cetera. The truth is, there’s one this afternoon. Would you want to come back?”
And I stated, “Positive.”
And I ended up going to see a film with him. It ended up simply being a film, not a screening, however the movie “Crimson Rock West.” And, you already know, that is proper once I had this form of sinking feeling that one thing wasn’t going proper.
After which, after the film, we walked for a number of blocks. And he stated he wanted to go as much as his residence to get one thing, and would I simply include him actual fast? And I form of stated no, and we went forwards and backwards on that for a minute. It was form of a negotiation with him at all times, attempting to form of stand my floor, however then be satisfied it was OK.
I did go into his residence. As soon as there, we talked for a very long time about artwork and flicks. And I felt like he was treating me like an mind.

And I used to be extraordinarily uncomfortable. And I used to be like, oh, God, no, I am not comfy with that. And we went forwards and backwards on that.
After which he went again to the lavatory once more, and got here again this time utterly bare. And, you already know, that modified it totally for me, too. It simply took it to the following place. It was utterly disorienting. And I used to be scared, you already know? I used to be actually scared.
After which it turned form of a cat-and-mouse recreation of, like, how am I going to get out of there?
And I am — it is laborious to make sense of what somebody is attempting to do to you after they’re totally bare, they usually’re…
