After the investigation of sexual harassment of the famous film producer Harvey Weinstein began in Hollywood, the statements of many famous actresses and singers who accused men of harassment began to be published in the press every now and then. Despite this, among the celebrities there were also those who believe that groundless accusations are nothing more than mere conversations that cause a lot of evil. Support for this view yesterday decided the British actor Liam Neeson, who without any problems can be found in the tapes "Fight" and "Air Marshal". He told about this to the audience and the leading TV show The Late Late Show.
Now in Hollywood there is a "witch hunt"
A few days ago, 65-year-old Neeson was invited to an Irish television show, in which he told about his work, and also shared his opinion on the harassment. The famous actor admitted that far from always the action of men is aimed at satisfying their sexual needs. Here are some words about this Liam said:
"It seems to me that our world turned upside down. Now in Hollywood there is a "witch-hunt": many famous and rich men are accused of sexual harassment. I know that the demanded actresses took the position that any movement on the part of a man should be seen as a harassment. In fact, we are all living people and there are quite ambiguous moments. So, in my life there was a situation when I accidentally touched the woman's knee. Of course, I immediately took my hand away, but I caught her frightened look. I had to explain that it was just an accident and nothing more. It seems, then I was lucky, and I did not feel any consequences of this incident. Understand that this can happen to any man and remove him from film projects, the show, driving out onto the street, is a big mistake. "
After that, Liam told the story of his friend Garrison Keillor - American radio presenter, who used to work on the radio Minnesota Public Radio. Neeson told the public and the leading Irish broadcast the story that preceded the dismissal of Callor:
"Once a colleague came to Garrison and began to talk about the fact that in her life there came a period in which there are a lot of problems. She was so upset and crying that Calloror decided to pat her in a friendly manner on the back. At this point, the blouse at the employee moved down, and his hand was on the naked body of a woman. He immediately took his hand away and apologized, but the colleague looked at him with bewildered eyes. After that, Garrison asked if the woman was offended by him, and she answered that everything was fine. The next day Taylor decided to write her a letter, in which he again apologized. For a while, a colleague and Garrison talked, and nothing betrayed the fact that a colleague was offended. This continued until the lawyer of the offended woman contacted Callor. "

The situation got out of control
And at the end of his interview, Liam decided to comment on the situation that has developed around the famous 80-year-old actor Dustin Hoffman. Recall, the celebrity was accused of the fact that Dustin in relation to women behaves unacceptably and disgustingly. That's what words about this matter said Neeson:
"Hoffman is a very cheerful and decent person. Yes, he has rather ambiguous jokes related to sexual relations and women, but these are just jokes. Because of this, the persecution of this legendary actor is a crime! It seems to me that now in Hollywood has come a period when accusations of harassment are turning into some kind of infectious disease that affects society. The situation went out of control and how to stop it, I, for one, do not know. "
