Charlize Theron Says Of Working With Women Instead Of Men: 'You Never Have To Wait For A Woman'

Bombshell, which is about the true story of women who worked for Fox News who accused the former CEO Roger Ailes of sexual harassment in 2016, understandably has a female-heavy cast.

"I'll tell you the first thing that happens when you work with women that you don't get with men," Charlize told PEOPLE.

Charlize then went on to elaborate, saying, "I have never waited for a woman on set."

"There’s incredible power," Kidman agreed. "I did it with all the girls on Big Little Lies. It just doesn't come along that often."

Charlize continued, saying, “We have this real need to want to work with other women. Yet we get so few opportunities.”

Charlize has discussed an incident of sexual harassment that happened to her that was not entirely unlike the situations depicted in the film.

She stated that when she arrived, the director was drinking and in pajamas. He touched her leg inappropriately, and Charlize apologized and left his house immediately.

"I just kept hitting the steering wheel. I put a lot of blame on myself, that I didn't say all the right things, that I didn't tell him to take a hike..."

Charlize explained of harrassment that "It's not always physical assault. It's not always rape. There's a psychological damage that happens for women in the everyday casualness of language, touch or threat — threat of losing your job."

When asked if Charlize was going to name the director in question, she replied, "I think there will be a time and a place where I will definitely share this. I've always been honest about it."

"So there will be a right time where I will talk about this again, and I will say his name, yes," Charlize said.
