Rebecca Romijnis detailing why she hadn’t previously spoken out about past misconduct allegations against two of herX-Menfilm directors.
In a new interview withThe Independenton Wednesday, the actress, 50, spoke aboutBryan SingerandBrett Ratner, who were both accused of sexual misconduct and inappropriate on set behavior a few years ago.
When asked about why she hasn’t spoken out about the allegations at the time — asmany of herX-Mencostars have in the past— Romijn told the publication she didn’t feel as though she needed “to say anything else.”
“I haven’t spoken up about anything with regard to#MeToo, because I had two major issues with two directors I’ve worked with — and both of them already got theirs. One of them being Brett Ratner,” she explained. “… I didn’t feel like I needed to say anything. I know the two people that I worked with had it coming, and they got theirs. I’m not gonna … I don’t need to say anything else.”
Calling him “a fantastic filmmaker,” themother of twosaid, “It was amazing watching him work,” but noted, “You have to decide if you want to try and separate those two things.”

“I know that the other cast confronted him about things. But I was not a part of that. I wasn’t there for it, so I can’t really speak to it,” Romijn continued.
Detailing how “there was drama on set, and I witnessed it and I heard a lot about it,” the actress said Singer “sometimes didn’t come in prepared. But he would show up and, without any preparation whatsoever, direct the most awesome scene that he was able to put together because he’s such a good filmmaker.”
And though she expressed that she doesn’t “want to throw anyone under the bus,” Romijn said her one exception was Ratner. “I was not happy working with him,” she said. “But he’s been canceled."
