She said that the #MeToo movement exists everywhere, however, it’s far worse in other industries than it is in the film industry. “Having said that, the film industry is one of the safest places, there are some of the most decent people I’ve worked with. So I feel really bad when people say this industry is really bad.”
While Preity thinks it’s important that the movement is happening, she feels it’s important that women use it for the right thing and not for personal vendettas and publicity. “Small percentage of women are doing it, and they’re diluting the movement.”
What’s worse was that when asked if she’s experienced such abuse, was her reply. “No, I haven’t, I wish I had,” she laughed. “People treat you the way you want to be treated,” she added.
