Matthew Lawrence Says An Agency Fired Him After Refusing To Strip For A Director Offering Him A Marvel Role

Matthew Lawrence acquired candid a couple of horrible expertise with an award-winning director.

During an episode of his Brotherly Love podcast on Thursday, the 43-year-old actor was speaking concerning the #MeToo motion along with his brothers and co-hosts Joey and Andrew Lawrence when he opened up concerning the sexual harassment he’s confronted in Hollywood through the years. He stated:

“There’s been many times in my life where I’ve been propositioned to get a huge role.”

Matthew then went on to share one incident when a “prominent Oscar award-winning director” allegedly supplied him a task in a Marvel film – however provided that he stripped and let the individual take footage of him. WTF?! When the Boy Meets World alum refused and left the lodge, he claimed his company on the time fired him. Again, what the f**okay?!! Without naming names of who was concerned on this disturbing encounter, Matthew recalled:

“I’ve lost my agency because I went to the hotel room, which I can’t believe they would send me to, of a very prominent Oscar award-winning director who showed up in his robe, asked me to take my clothes off, and said he needed to take Polaroids of me. And then if I did X, Y, and Z, I would be the next Marvel character. I didn’t do that, and my agency fired me because I left this director’s room.”

So, so terrible. The Mrs. Doubtfire star acknowledged “a lot of my other male friends” had comparable experiences within the trade. However, he famous there’s a “double standard” when male stars come ahead with sexual harassment claims versus feminine stars. Using Terry Crews’ 2017 groping claims towards WME agent Adam Venit for example, Matthew explains:

“Terry Crews comes out and says it; people are laughing at him. People don’t support him. They kick him out. Why? Because he’s a man that represents masculinity, and I think our society is less ready to hear that situation going on with men than they are with women.”

He added:

“Not a lot of guys in my opinion have come out and talked about this in the industry. There is also this same situation. Now granted, I’d say it’s probably about a third of what women go through. The amount of men. Men go through this as well, whether it’s another woman or another man in power.”

What an horrible scenario. We admire Matthew for having this weak dialog and sharing his expertise. You can see the whole dialogue on the Me Too motion (beneath):
