Aussie Actor Teresa Palmer Makes Shocking MeToo Confession: ‘I Was Taken Advantage Of’

Teresa Palmer has reflected on the moment she nearly quit acting after she was ‘pressured’ to hook up with her male co-star. 

The Aussie actress, 39, who made a name for herself in hit films such as The Choice and Hacksaw Ridge, revealed she was fired from a movie after experiencing her own MeToo moment. 

Speaking to Daily Telegraph, Teresa shed light on the darker side of Hollywood that saw her meet some really ‘nefarious’ people in the industry, people that pushed her to ‘hook up’ with actors on film projects to better their on-screen ‘chemistry’.      

‘I had my own MeToo experience. I was taken advantage of,’ she told the publication.

The moment made her question her dream of being an actress and almost saw her turn her back on it for good.

‘I was 20, and I had just been fired off this job because I had refused to participate in some really coercive control stuff that was happening, and so I got fired,’ she revealed.

Soon after, Teresa returned to Adelaide, convincing herself that her dream was over and that it was time to settle into a job as a drama teacher. 

However, her agent Ann Churchill-Brown – who also represents Hollywood heavyweight Nicole Kidman – wouldn’t let her give up. 

‘She was like, “Look – that was an awful experience, but I’m telling you, there are other experiences that you’re gonna have that’s just going to be the salve.”‘

Teresa went on to star in many career-defining film roles, proving her agent right. 

Now, Teresa continues to make movies but gave up the hustle and bustle of the US for a happy, relaxed life in Byron Bay. 

She shares four biological kids with her husband Mark Webber, as well as a stepchild, and is currently expecting her fifth.

She was absolutely glowing on Wednesday night as she promoted her new movie, Mix Tape, at Oxford Art Factory in Sydney alongside her husband Mark.

The actress, who is 28 weeks pregnant, opted for a skin tight-dress in a black tone with glittering threading throughout.

The long sleeved number clung to her blossoming belly and she added some patent heels to the look.

Teresa chose a clean makeup look with a smoky eye and pink matte lipstick while wearing her blonde locks down in mermaid waves.

Mark meanwhile matched his wife in an all black ensemble as he shared her red carpet moment.
