#MeToo: Lynda Carter Reveals Her Abuser “Is famous and He Is Being Prosecuted Now.” Could It Be…?

By James St. James on April 18, 2018 10:24 am

The eternally gorgeous OG Wonder Woman Lynda Carter gave an interview with The Daily Beast about her own #MeToo experience in the ’70s, but said she didn’t want to divulge any details about the sexual abuse or who was behind it. She spoke again about it while speaking with Megan Kelly this morning, saying  she’s still “not comfortable sharing” what happened.

However, she did say that her alleged abuser is “already being done in.”

“He is famous and he is being prosecuted now, and it is in the newspapers now,” Carter told Kelly, adding that she “pretty much laid it out” in The Daily Beast article. “… there is nothing legally I can do. So I chose not to add my voice. The reason is there is nothing I can add, and the women’s voices that are out there now, I don’t want to be one of those people [saying] ‘me too, me too.’ It’s not about me, it is about the women that it is happening to today.”

Famous and being prosecuted now? I think it’s pretty obvious who she’s talking about.

That fucking monster.

Carter also discussed the harassment she faced from a cameraman on the set of Wonder Woman. In the Daily Beast article, she said “There was a cameraman who drilled a hole in my dressing room wall on the Warner Brothers lot.” Carter told Kelly she found out when she was called in to “the head of Warner Brothers’ office.”

“It was predatory,” Carter said, adding that the perpetrator was subsequently “drummed out of the business.”

As for moving forward, Carter said that she wants to be the “support system” for modern women because she believes that the women of her time didn’t have anyone to tell about harassment or abuse except each other.

“Who [was] gonna do anything about it?” Carter said, adding that common responses to speaking out might’ve been getting fired, or people saying things like “Oh, she’s trouble,” “She asked for it,” or “Well, what did you do? You must’ve done something. You must’ve worn something.”

“And then there’s this piece of it where you feel ashamed in some way,” Carter said, noting that numerous women in the audience were nodding their heads “yes,” echoing her statements about how common it is for victims to blame themselves.

She added, “As much as we say ‘It wasn’t my fault,’ you think ‘Well, what did I do?'”

Kelly responded, “But you don’t realize that the entire society has been set up to make you ask that question of yourself. We’re just now starting to reject that, to get that imprint is wrong, and was set up by people who didn’t know what the hell they were doing. And didn’t know thing one about #MeToo.”
