Charlize Theron \u201cblamed\u201d herself when she endured sexual harassment at the hands of a director 25 years ago.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Bombshell\u2019 star claims she was harassed by a filmmaker in 1994 when she showed up at his house for an audition, where he was dressed in his pyjamas and during which time he touched her leg, before she apologised and left.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

And now, the actress has said she spent a lot of time blaming herself for the alleged encounter, because she didn\u2019t think she had done enough to stop him.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cI just kept hitting the steering wheel. I put a lot of blame on myself \u2026 that I didn\u2019t say all the right things, and that I didn\u2019t tell him to take a hike, and that I didn\u2019t do all of those things that we so want to believe we\u2019ll do in those situations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlize, 44, confronted the director years later, and has said it felt unsatisfying at the time because it didn\u2019t bring her \u201cfull closure\u201d.<\/p>\n
