Nicola Thorp was harassed by women’s rights documentary directo

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicola Thorp was harassed by a director working on a documentary about women’s rights.
The ‘Coronation Street’ actress – whose role as a presenter in the film never materialised – has candidly opened up about her experiences over the years, and she admitted it “really messed [her] up for a while”.
She told the Mirror: “A man in the public eye approached me to do a documentary about women’s rights and then, in the process, he told me how much he wanted to have sex with me.
“He then started sending me photos of dresses and shoes he thought I’d look sexy in at three in the morning.
“That really messed me up for a while. It made me think, ‘well, did I encourage him? Was my worth as a potential presenter of a documentary only gauged by how much I flirted with him?’ ”
The soap star – who was also once locked in a work bathroom when she was 19 until she agreed to kiss her manager – has spoken out and said society needs to “definitely” do more to support women who have been harassed.
Nicola, now 30, added: “This sort of thing is happening to women all of the time. I am not unique in that. Even though the #MeToo movement was so phenomenal and changed so much, it’s actually changed more for men.
“It’s punishing men more than believing women and supporting them through stuff, so there is definitely more we have to do.”
This weekend, Nicola will join Helena Bonham Carter, Amanda Abbington, Annie Lennox and Sue Perkins at Care International’s #March4Women rally in London on Sunday (03.03.19).
