Last year Hollywood took a stand against sexual abuse and inequality as #MeToo stories swept the industry.
But British actress Jenny Agutter has now berated the victims of abuse for putting themselves in vulnerable situations.
Miss Agutter, 66, said she can’t ‘fully understand’ why young actresses would meet with senior film industry figures alone unless they found them ‘attractive’.
‘I can never fully understand the people who got themselves into problems. In the States, there were occasions when you might be asked to go to a private screening or someone’s place and you just didn’t do it - unless you found the person very attractive, in which case you did do it,’ she told the Radio Times.

‘But if they’re not really attractive, there’s nothing to be gained from it, because it’s obvious what you’re indicating by going.’
Miss Agutter, who was in a relationship with director Patrick Garland when she was 19 and he was 36, said that she was ‘lucky’ to have never found herself in that situation.
‘It’s terrible that anyone would use their power in that way. That’s wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong - no question about it,’ she said.

‘What is sad is to be in a situation where you have to negotiate it: you shouldn’t have to do that. I was very lucky never to have to.’
She added: ‘In the States I went out with someone who was actually in the studio system - a producer - and because of that I was a little bit protected.
‘No one was going to hit on me, with him there! It was a bit like having the Mafia around you.’

Asked what she would have done had she been in that position, Miss Agutter said: ‘Back out of the door rather fast! Because there isn’t any part that’s worth that - and I think there’s an arrogance in me a little bit as well, which is, “If you’re not casting me because I’m right for the part, then why are we in this situation?”’
The actress said she had no regrets about her romance with Mr Garland despite the controversial 17-year age gap between them.
‘No, not at all. It was a very important, very good relationship. He was very interesting and it went on for a good length of time for that age - a good couple of years. He was a very nice person,’ she said.
Miss Agutter rose to fame at 16 in the BBC adaptation of The Railway Children in 1968 and won an Emmy Award for her role in The Snow Goose just three years later.
She has starred in the BBC’s hit drama Call the Midwife since 2012.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
