    Oscar-winning Hollywood actress Reese Witherspoon has revealed that an unnamed film director assaulted her when she was 16. Speaking at an Elle Women in Hollywood event, Witherspoon said she felt "true disgust at the director." She felt "anger... at the agents and producers who made me feel silence was a condition of my employment". Her revelations come amid the Harvey Weinstein sexual misconduct scandal.
