Revealing the dark secrets of her life, Ashley Judd has recently spoken up on being sexually harassed by a high-profile film boss.

Claiming that the incident happened while she was filming 'Kiss the Girls' in 1997, the 47-year-old actress said that she was sexually harassed by one of the industry's famous, admired-slash-reviled bosses, reports News.com.au.

The 'Divergent' star added that she did not recognise at the time what was happening to her, it took years before she could evaluate that incident and realise that there was something incredibly wrong and illegal about it.

Though the actress has declined to name the studio executive, she has alleged that he lured her to his hotel room several times under the pretence of discussing film roles and even tried to get her to watch him take a shower.
