Oscar winner says it was only after the allegations against Harvey Weinstein that she saw her own experiences in a new light.<\/span><\/p>\n

When a Hollywood producer offered Natalie Portman a lift on his private jet with the rest of his company, she saw no reason to hesitate.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n\n

By the time she was on board and ­realised it was just her, him, one big bed and a suffocating weight of expectation, it was too late to leave.<\/p>\n

The Oscar-winning actress says: \u201cI was like, yeah, why wouldn\u2019t I accept a flight on a private plane with a big group of people? And I showed up and it was just the two of us and then one bed was made on the plane.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thankfully, the producer took \u2018No\u2019 for an answer, so this story did not end like so many others that have recently come to light in Hollywood and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing happened,\u201d she says. \u201cI was not assaulted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said, \u2018This doesn\u2019t make me feel comfortable\u2019 and that was respected.\u201d<\/p>\n

So she thought nothing more of it, accepting the incident as just one of those things that happens when you are a pretty young actress in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

Until now, that is.<\/p>\n

Now it has hit her like a ton of bricks how shameful an industry must be if a young woman could take such ­unacceptable manipulation for granted.<\/p>\n

Since the torrent of allegations against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and others emerged, both in the US and here in the UK, Natalie has looked at this and other episodes in a stark new light.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was super not OK,\u201d she says. \u201cThat was really unacceptable and manipulative. I was scared.\u201d<\/p>\n
