"But did I do it? No, I did not," she added. Lopez says she was terrified to come forward about the experience, which occurred on one of their first meetings. "When I did speak up, I was terrified. I remember my heart beating out of my chest, thinking, 'What did I do? This man is hiring me!' It was one of my first movies. But in my mind I knew the behaviour wasn't right. It could have gone either way for me." She did not reveal the name of the director.
