Actress Rachel McAdams has joined a growing list of more than 200 women who have accused Hollywood writer-director James Toback of sexual assault and harassment.
In an interview with Vanity Fair Thursday, the Oscar-nonimnated Spotlight actress described an encounter she had with Toback in his hotel room when she was a 21-year-old theater student in Toronto. McAdams’s story comes after two back-to-back reports in the Los Angeles Times featured stories and on-the-record testimony from some hundreds of women, alleging that the Two Girls and a Guy director had sexually assaulted or harassed them.
The actress said that Toback invited her to his hotel room one night to audition for Harvard Man, a 2001 movie he directed. McAdams told Vanity Fair she didn’t want to go, because she was starting a TV job early the following morning.
“I wanted to focus on that, but he was so insistent. So I went over to the hotel, went to the room, and he had all of these books and magazines splayed out on the floor,” McAdams said. “He invited me to sit on the floor which was a bit awkward. Pretty quickly the conversation turned quite sexual and he said, ‘You know, I just have to tell you. I have masturbated countless times today thinking about you since we met at your audition.’”
