But why does Ratner’s name ring alarm bells? Well, before his fall from grace, he was a big name in Hollywood, known for directing hits like theRush Hourseries and music videos for artists like LL Cool J and Mariah Carey.
However, in 2017, during the peak of the #MeToo movement, Ratner faced allegations. Six women, including Elliot Page, accused him of s*xual harassment and assault, with actress Anna Paquin backing up Page’s claims. As a result, Warner Bros. cut ties with Ratner, ending their contract.

TheDunestar opened up about a troubling incident where she was yelled at and left in tears on set. Without naming names, Ferguson described the co-star as an“absolute idiot”who lashed out due to insecurities about their performance. Ferguson revealed,
“I remember there was a moment and this human being was being so insecure and angry because this person couldn’t get the scenes out. And I think I was so vulnerable and comfortable that I got screamed at.”
The Swedish actress recalled feeling vulnerable and unsupported, with nobody having her back as she faced the verbal onslaught. She stated,
“Because this person was number one on a call sheet, there was no safety net for me. So no one had my back. And I would cry walking off set.”
Although Ferguson didn’t spill the beans on the co-star’s identity, she made it clear it wasn’t Hugh Jackman or Tom Cruise, and the incident occurred within the past decade.
