Full Story
In a recent appearance on the “Way Up with Angela Yee” podcast, actress Sheryl Lee Ralph spoke out about several incidents of sexual misconduct she experienced in the past, including one involving a “famous TV judge.” Ralph, who was promoting her new memoir “Diva 2.0,” said she was at a public event in a suit when the man in question walked up to her, grabbed her by the back of her neck, and forcefully kissed her. She tried to report the incident at the time, but claims that someone from the network she worked for asked her not to as they did not want any negative press.
Ralph did not reveal the identity of the man involved, but confirmed that it was not Judge Greg Mathis as she has a high opinion of him. The incident with the judge was not the only one Ralph discussed during the podcast, as she also shared a previous experience with a promoter who she claims put his hands on her body without her consent. After years passed, the man in question apparently did not remember their previous encounter and Ralph felt the need to confront him about his actions.
Despite the seriousness of these incidents, Ralph offered words of encouragement for other women in Hollywood who may have experienced something similar. She advised victims to speak out and tell their stories, and to not carry the burden of their pain. Ralph also briefly touched on the #MeToo movement in her new book, which discusses her experiences in greater detail.
