The Oscar-nominated actress, Naomie Harris, has shared with You magazine how she also had the #MeToo Incident and recalled how she was groped by a huge star during an audition and no one in the room said anything about it though they clearly noticed the assault.
She shared, “What was so shocking about it was the casting director was there and the director, and of course no-one said anything because he was – he is – such a huge star. That was my only #MeToo incident, so I felt very lucky given how rife that behavior was.”
The actress also acknowledged the MeToo movement’s positive changes in the industry by saying, “Now things have definitely changed: I was on a project where there was MeToo incident and there was no hesitation…[the preparator] was immediately removed.” She added, “The MeToo movement has had a huge impact – rightfully, thankfully – on society and these films should reflect that as everything we do should.”

The actress had also shared with Glamour magazine, “When I started out, there wasn’t a lot of Black roles for women and it was tough. But I always set out with this mission statement: ‘My job is to portray positive images of Black women. If I get presented with a stereotypical role, I’m not going to play it. If it doesn’t move the story forward about Black women and show us in a positive, strong and multifaceted light, then I’m not going to play those roles.”
She added, “It was difficult in the beginning because I didn’t have any money. I was trying to support myself and I’d have to say ‘no’ to roles that I needed to pay the bills, but it paid off.”
Naomie Harris Dating Life
The actress has dated her boyfriend, Peter Legler, since October 2012. He comes from England, the United Kingdom, and the two went on to have a relationship for about six years as a magazine revealed about their split. He works as an investor and advisor.
The actress is a very private person and has been seen in public with her ex-boyfriend countable times. She was seen in Harper’s Bazar London Fashion Week in London 2013 and the Royal Salute Coronation Cup at Guards Polo Club in Egham in 2016.
The Bond star, Naomie, had also dated British actor Chiwetel Ejiofor seven years, from 2000 to 2007. The actress had also been involved with big names like Chris Evans and Orlando Bloom.
However, the actress has recently surprised all of us with her Instagram post where she introduced a man referring to him as her husband on the post that said, “#datenight with my hubby @azmajid…making up for missing his birthday!” She shared a mirror selfie with him, and the post came by surprise to many fans and people as the actress had never shared any details about her relationship after her breakup with her ex-boyfriend.
The actress had shared in the past with ES magazine about her privacy on dating life, saying, “I was told very early on not to talk about relationships and I think it’s great advice because it’s all very well when things are going well. I’ve seen that with actresses, they’ve talked about how in love they are, how they’re getting married. And it’s so beautiful to read. But then it doesn’t work out and you’ve got to answer all those questions about your personal life when it’s still so raw for you.”
