Miami Beach Film Director Latest To Be Accused Of Sexual Harassment

Six women have accused film director and Miami Beach native Brett Ratner of sexual harassment or misconduct.

The Los Angeles Times reports one of the accusers as actress Olivia Munn. 

Munn said that while visiting the set of Ratner's "After the Sunset" in 2004, he masturbated in front of her in his trailer. Munn described the incident, without naming Ratner, in a 2010 collection of essays.

The LA Times report describes other encounters where Ratner aggressively pursued actresses, sometimes following them into a bathroom. 

An extra on "Rush Hour 2" named Eri Sasaki allegedly said Ratner suggested he would give her a line in the film if she slept with him.

Police weren't contacted about any of the incidents, nor did they result in financial settlements.

Representatives for Ratner didn't immediately respond to queries Wednesday.

Ratner is the latest Hollywood figure to be accused of sexual harassment in a scandal that began after The New York Times published an expose last month about decades of harassment allegations against film mogul Harvey Weinstein.

Ratner was born in Miami Beach and graduated from Miami Beach Senior High School in 1986.
