Molly Ringwald said 'predators' took ‘advantage of’ her when she was a teen movie star in the 1980s
Molly Ringwald is opening up about Hollywood “predators” when she was a teen star in the 1980s.
'I wasn't raped by Harvey Weinstein, so I'm grateful for that,' she continued. 'But I also did write an essay for The New Yorker that was all like, ‘It's not all Harvey Weinstein. He's not the only one.’' She added: “The successful teen comedies of the period, such as Animal House and Porky’s, were written by men for boys; the few women in them were either nymphomaniacs or battleaxes.”
