Washington, Jan 27 (IANS) Actress Chloe Grace Moretz, who worked alongside Louis C.K. on his film "I Love You, Daddy" before accusations of sexual misconduct from five women surfaced against the comedian, says she is one of hundreds of thousands of women who has a story, but would like to focus on "the entire movement".
The film's premiere was abruptly cancelled in the wake of allegations against C.K., which Moretz has not responded to.
Speaking at the Sundance Film Festival, Moretz was asked about her personal experience and how she dealt with the scandal after working so closely with C.K., who wrote and directed "I Love You, Daddy" in addition to starring as her on-screen father.
Moretz, who has become one of the most outspoken voices in young Hollywood when it comes to politics, gender equality and activism, responded to the larger #MeToo movement, rather than speak specifically about C.K.
"I could single-in and talk about my experience, but I think it's more important to talk about the entire movement as a whole," Moretz told variety.com.
"I'm one of hundreds of thousands of women in so many different industries that has a story. You could ask anyone in this room and all of us could give you 10 stories, I'm sure," Moretz continued.
"I think it's just nice, the communication, and the fact that you asked this question at Sundance in a video suite, this never would have happened two years ago. So the fact that it's a conversation and it's a question is monumental, and I think that shouldn't be looked past or looked over. We have all been through a lot of stuff, but at least we are communicating and people are going to be held accountable."
