A Netflix star who came forward with new allegations about the behaviour of Academy Award winner Geoffrey Rush said she struggled to come to terms with the 'uncomfortable parts' of working with him.
Orange Is The New Black actress Yael Stone alleged to The New York Times that Rush sent her 'affectionate and flirtatious, flowery' messages.
The Australian actress also made other claims about his behaviour during a 2010 production of 'The Diary of the Madman' when she was 25 and he was 56.
Ms Stone said to be cast across from Rush in the play was a 'needle in a haystack' opportunity and despite feeling a level of discomfort from her co-star 'wasn't going to be the one to put a spanner in the works'.
Orange Is The New Black actress Yael Stone alleged to The New York Times that Rush sent her 'affectionate and flirtatious, flowery' messages.
In an interview on ABC's 7.30 on Monday, Ms Stone said she struggled with the behaviour as she was looking at someone who she saw as a mentor.
'At 25 and starting out, I absolutely look to somebody like that to kind of support me and shepherd me through my career,' she told host Leigh Sales.
Ms Stone said Rush would regularly text her and at times it would be 2am when the texts started to get sexual.
'What would happen is that they became increasingly sexual in nature,' she said.
'The issue is that relationship was compromised from the beginning by this sexual dynamic,' Ms Stone said of her experience during the play's run.
'I never addressed the uncomfortable parts of our relationship because they were just so hard to deal with.'

In a statement, Rush disputed her claims as 'incorrect and in some instances, completely out of context'.
He said she was 'upset' by the 'spirited enthusiasm I generally bring to my work' and 'deeply regret(ted)' if he caused her distress.
Ms Stone told the Times she was 'embarrassed by the ways she participated' in the text conversations with Rush, best known for his roles in blockbuster films Shine and The King's Speech.
'Geoffrey was working within the boundaries of what he felt was playful,' she told host Leigh Sales, according to a press release.

In a statement to the Times, Rush disputed the claims but said Ms Stone had been 'upset' by his enthusiasm at work.
'From the outset I must make it clear that the allegations of inappropriate behaviour made by Yael Stone are incorrect and in some instances have been taken completely out of context.
'However, clearly Yael has been upset on occasion by the spirited enthusiasm I generally bring to my work.
'I sincerely and deeply regret if I have caused her any distress. This, most certainly, has never been my intention.
'When we performed in The Diary Of A Madman 8 years ago, I believe we engaged in a journey as artistic comrades.
'Over the years we have shared correspondence that always contained a mutual respect and admiration.
'As I have said in the past, I abhor any behaviour that might be considered as harassment or intimidation to anyone – whether in the workplace or any other environment.'
Rush is suing The Daily Telegraph and journalist Jonathan Moran for defamation after the newspaper last year printed claims of inappropriate behaviour on a Sydney theatre set in 2015 and 2016.
He rejected those claims as 'false, pejorative and demeaning.'

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.
