This is not the first time that the actress has spoken out about the inappropriate behavior of men in the industry. She has previously talked about the difficulties she has faced as a woman of color in Hollywood and the abuse she has experienced at the hands of some men.
The incident with Trump is just one example of the widespread problem of sexual harassment in the industry. Many women have come forward in recent years to share their stories of abuse and harassment, highlighting the need for change in the industry.
Hayek’s courage in speaking out about her experiences is an important step towards creating a safer and more equitable industry for women. Her voice, along with those of other survivors, will continue to be instrumental in creating change and holding perpetrators accountable.
