Director-producer Brett Ratner has been accused of sexual harassment by six women, including actress Natasha Henstridge according to a report published Wednesday by the Los Angeles Times.
Ratner, through his attorney Martin Singer, strongly denied the allegations to the Times.
“I have represented Mr. Ratner for two decades, and no woman has ever made a claim against him for sexual misconduct or sexual harassment,” Singer told the Times. “Furthermore, no woman has ever requested or received any financial settlement from my client.”
Ratner’s publicist Simon Halls did not immediately respond to a request by Variety for comment on the article.
Henstridge told the Times that Ratner, 48, allegedly forced her to perform oral sex on him during an incident in his New York apartment in the early 1990s when she was a 19-year-old model.
