Also, Anna Graham Hunter wrote an essay published by The Hollywood Reporter in which she accused Dustin Hoffman of sexually harassing her when she was a 17-year-old production assistant on the set of his film “The Death of a Salesman” in 1985. Dustin then released a statement and offered an apology.
“I have the utmost respect for women and feel terrible that anything I might have done could have put her in an uncomfortable situation,” Ronald Hoffma’s brother, Dustin said in the statement. “I am sorry. It is not reflective of who I am.” In December 2017, comedian John Oliver unexpectedly questioned Dustin about the allegations made against him.
This happened during the 20th-anniversary screening of Wag the Dog at the 92nd Street Y. John Oliver said: “It’s ‘not reflective of who I am’ – it’s that kind of response to this stuff that pisses me off. Do you understand how that feels like a dismissal?” According to Dustin, he felt blindsided by the line of questioning. Dustin said:
“You’ve made the case better than anyone else can. I’m guilty. Because someone has alleged something, I’m guilty. You push a button. It’s all over the world: I’m a predator. I’m this and that, and it’s not true.” Defending Dustin, actor Bill Murray said: “I heard what happened to him, and Dustin Hoffman is a really decent person. He’s crazy, a Borscht Belt flirt, has been his whole life. (But) he’s a really sweet man.”
