The actor said that her ‘jaw dropped at the time’ over how she was treated in public spaces and that ‘it was a very violent, misogynistic atmosphere’
Keira Knightley has spoken out about the intimidation and intrusion she experienced at the start of her career, when she was “stalked by men” who blamed her for their aggressive interest.
Speaking to the Los Angeles Times, Knightley said that even as a young woman, “I was very clear on it being absolutely shocking. There was an amount of gaslighting to be told by a load of men that ‘you wanted this.’ It was rape speak. You know, ‘This is what you deserve.’ It was a very violent, misogynistic atmosphere.”
