Heavyweight Groped Hollywood Actor Brendan Fraser by Ochoochogift(m): 12:41pm On Feb 23, 2018 |
Actor Brendan Fraser says he wondered if he was "blacklisted" after he was allegedly groped by a former president of the organisation that hosts the Golden Globes. The Mummy trilogy star told men's magazine GQ he did not have the courage to speak up until now because of the risk of humiliation and damage to his career. "Am I still frightened? Absolutely. Do I feel like I need to say something? Absolutely. Have I wanted to many, many times? Absolutely. Have I stopped myself? Absolutely," he said. Fraser said he was leaving a luncheon held by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) at a Beverly Hills Hotel in 2003 when former president Philip Berk went to shake his hand. "His left hand reaches around, grabs my ass cheek, and one of his fingers touches me in the taint. And he starts moving it around," Fraser alleged. Fraser said he eventually removed Mr Berk's hand and rushed out of the crowded room. He said he told his then-wife Afton Smith what happened. "I felt like someone had thrown invisible paint on me," he said. Mr Berk wrote he 'pinched' Fraser's behind Mr Berk is reported to have written in his 2014 autobiography With Signs and Wonders that he pinched Fraser's behind as a joke. He also wrote Fraser pinched him back. Mr Berk disputed Fraser's account in an email, stating his version was "a total fabrication". Mr Berk said he wrote a letter to Fraser after the incident but said that apology admitted no wrongdoing. "If I've done anything that upset Mr Fraser, it was not intended and I apologise," Mr Berk said. 'The silence was deafening' Fraser said he became depressed after the incident and told himself he deserved what happened. "I was blaming myself and I was miserable — because I was saying 'this is nothing; this guy reached around and he copped a feel'," Fraser said.
