  • Rebel Wilson opened up to People about being sexually harassed by a male costar.

Rebel Wilson revealed she was once sexually harassed by a male costar.

The "Senior Year" star did not reveal the name of the actor, but detailed the incident to People in a new cover story.

"He called me into a room and pulled down his pants," said the 42-year-old actress, who added that the actor then asked Wilson in front of his friends to perform a lewd act, according to People.

A representative for Wilson didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

"It was awful and disgusting," she continued. "And all the behavior afterwards — this was all before #MeToo — where they kind of tried to destroy me and my career. If it had happened after #MeToo, then I could have just blasted them."

However, Wilson did report the incident. The actress said she knew the steps she had to take to protect herself because she studied law. She has a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of South Wales.

"Because I'm a lawyer, I documented it," she said. "I called my rep. I got certain things in writing about what happened."
