Anthony Rapp contó la escena en una entrevista en The Advocate allá por 2001, aunque entonces no publicaron el nombre del acosador:
A: But I think acting is telling the truth. You’re finding the truth of the story. Ian McKellen said that he feels like he’s become a better actor since he came out publicly because there was no longer anything that he was having to compensate for or hide. Now, for some actors, being closeted may make them more interesting because that might create some sort of tension in their work.
Q: That makes me think of [a certain leading man] in [a certain award-winning film].
A: It’s hard for me to evaluate his acting because I’m so angry at him. I met him when I was 14 because we were both in plays and he invited me to a party at his house. I was bored, so I was in his bedroom watching TV and didn’t know everybody had left, and he came to the bedroom and he picked me up and lay down on top of me.
Q: Oh, my God! What did you do?
A: I squirmed away and went into the bathroom. I came out and I excused myself, and he’s like “You sure you want to go?” I always wonder if he remembers it, because he was pretty drunk. And he’s had so many.
Contexto: este es A. Rapp en una película de 1987 (Adventures in babysitting); no tiene pinta de adolescente que parece mayor de edad.
Todo lo que no ha pasado en Los Simpson es porque ha pasado en Padre de Familia (2005):
