Judd, who has been outspoken about the Harvey Weinstein scandal, was joined by a group of diverse filmmakers and Hollywood power players. \u201cWell first of all, my first audition yielded a screen test and I was asked to take my shirt off. It was between another woman and me, and I said that isn\u2019t about our acting, that\u2019s about evaluating a pair of breasts. And the answer was not \u2018no\u2019 but \u2018hell no,\u201d she recalled at the panel, titled Univision Communications Behind the Camera: Where Diversity Begins.<\/p>\n
Talking about her decision to discuss her history of sexual abuse, Judd said, \u201cI understand it was never my shame and it was the perpetrator\u2019s shamelessness which he put on me and I\u2019ve given that shame back to the perpetrator where it belongs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
