Tom Sizemore, an American actor, was allegedly sent home from the set of the movie “Born Killers” in 2003 after being accused of molesting an 11-year-old girl.
According to a report by The Hollywood Reporter, a dozen cast and crew members who worked on the film confirmed the incident.
They claimed that the actress made the accusations towards the end of production while taking photos sitting on Sizemore’s lap.
Robyn Adamson, an actress present during the shoot, reported that the young girl’s eyes got “just huge, like she could’ve vomited” and had trouble taking direction afterward.
The day after the incident, casting director Catrine McGregor was informed by the girl’s agent that the young actress had alleged inappropriate touching.
The film’s producers Michael Manshel and Gus Spoliansky stated that they immediately removed Sizemore from the set after hearing the allegation.
Manshel further added that the police were informed but no charges were pressed against Sizemore.
Sizemore, on being told about the accusation, reportedly responded, “I’ve done a lot of awful things, and I’d never do anything with kids.”
Sizemore has had previous run-ins with the law. He pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor charges of domestic abuse in 2016 for assaulting his girlfriend.
In 2003, he was sentenced to six months in jail for physically abusing his then-girlfriend Heidi Fleiss.
He violated probation by contacting Fleiss, failing several drug tests, and attempting to fake a drug test using a prosthetic device.
After the girl’s parents declined to press charges, Sizemore was allowed to return to the set for reshoots, according to THR’s report.
Sizemore’s agent Stephen Rice declined to comment on the accusation, stating that their position is “no comment.”
The incident involving Sizemore and the young actress is one of the many allegations of sexual misconduct in Hollywood.
The Hollywood Reporter’s article has sparked a conversation on social media about the need for justice for the young actress and accountability for Sizemore’s actions.
Many are calling for a boycott of Sizemore’s work and are urging Hollywood to take a stand against sexual misconduct.
