Katherine was scared to go public with Weinstein abuse claims

Katherine Kendall has revealed that she was afraid to call out Hollywood producer Harvey Weistein on sexual harassment as the actor believes she would have been "blackballed" from the industry.
Earlier this month, the 48-year-old actor publicly alleged that the media mogul had harassed her in his apartment in 1993.
Kendall had claimed that Weinstein "literally chased" her and stopped her from escaping from the room.
In an interview recorded in July and obtained by the Observer, the "Swingers" actor said she feared she would be judged for speaking the truth.
"You make yourself a target in a way - I was awful scared that I would be judged, even blackballed. They could make it so you don't work," she said.

Kendall said it took her 25 years to raise her voice also because it would attract scrutiny, which would be difficult for her to face.

"I never went to the press because I was too scared. I didn't want attention brought on me for that, intuitively I didn't want it. I don't like to talk about my personal life too much."
The actor added such incidents tend to scar women for life and that it has always been the sufferer who is made to feel guilty about the crime.
"People don't realise that those things can be scary, sometimes it's downright scary and can leave a woman shattered, fragmented... I was more scared more than I thought I would be. My insides were shaken up a little more more than I thought they would be - and I thought I was kind of tough.

"When someone perpetrates against another person like that it actually makes the person who got perpetrated upon feel ashamed in a certain way," she said.
