Matthew Lawrence revealed on Friday's episode of the 'Brotherly Love' podcast that he was dropped by his agency and lost a Marvel role after refusing to strip for a director in a hotel room.
Matthew Lawrence says he was told he would be the next Marvel hero, if he would just strip for the director in his hotel room. He refused.Brotherly LoveLawrence didn’t name the director he alleges sexually harassed him, but described the person as “very prominent” in the business.
Lawrence did not mention the name of the agency in the podcast. Neither his representative nor Marvel have responded yet to a request for comment.Some of the protesters were affiliated with the #MeToo movement. Lawrence referenced Terry Crews, who in October 2017 tweeted about the report detailing film executive Harvey Weinstein’s abuse, revealing that the accounts of sexual harassment and assault gave him PTSD.
. “I’ve seen it in sports. I’ve seen it in politics. I’ve seen it with a racial component and I’ve seen it with economic components. And Hollywood has definitely been a problem area simply because there are so many people who view this as a dream. “A lot of these stories, a lot of other male friends have gone through this with both men and women in this industry, but there’s a double standard and this is where I bring [up] Terry Crews. Terry Crews comes out and says it and people are laughing at him. People don’t support him. They kick them out. Why? Because he’s a man that represents masculinity. And I think our society is less ready to hear that situation going on with men than they are with women.
