Disappointing that no one took her complaints seriously or swept them under the rug. I'm kind of curious who the guest star was that was harassing her.
Williamson names names.
Afton Williamson Identifies ‘The Rookie’ Guest Star Who Allegedly Harassed Her
It’s not unusual (unfortunately) that a male actor would harass/assault a female actor. More curious is the charge that a white, female hairdresser (who’s, apparently, been in the biz for several years) would direct racist comments/innuendo towards one of the main stars of the show. I’m clueless as to the power hierarchy in Hollywood productions. But I assume that a hairdresser (even the head of the department) is lower on the totem pole than a lead actor. So if said hairdresser wants to keep working, she checks her private racism (if any) at the door. Even more curious: this female accused allegedly graduated from racism to sexual assault.
As it happens, this last charge may have corroborating evidence (independent of Williamson). According to Williamson, this female hairdresser was finally exposed when she committed a sexual assault at the season 1 wrap party. Whereupon, she was fired. One would think, therefore, that there’s some HR documentation of both the assault and the dismissal.
