Lynda Carter has spoken about her experiences of sexual misconduct on the set of ‘Wonder Woman’.
In the late 1970s, Lynda played the titular superhero in the hit TV show and has now made the allegations in an interview with The Daily Beast.
Speaking candidly for the first time, Lynda said that a crew member was fired after “drilling a hole in her dressing room wall”, adding that she experienced other forms of sexual harassment too.
Of the dressing room incident, she explained: “They caught him, fired him, and drummed him out of the business.”
Although she didn’t give further details, Lynda also revealed sexual misconduct from someone else during her ‘Wonder Woman’ days, which she was inspired to come forward about in the wake of the #MeToo movement.
On her decision to keep quiet all these years, Lynda explained: “Who are you going to tell, your agent? Who’s going to believe you? No one’s going to believe you. And when you did push back by saying, ‘Are you kidding me?’ they would say, ‘Yes, yes.’
Decades on from her iconic performance as Wonder Woman, Lynda recently landed a recurring role in a new female-centric superhero franchise, playing President Olivia Marsdin in ‘Supergirl’.
