Rebecca Romijn says she didn’t speak out earlier at the height of the #MeToo era because the two directors she had “major problems” with already “have” theirs.
“I didn’t feel like I needed to say anything,” the ‘X-Men’ actress told The Independent on Wednesday. “I know the two people I worked with had it coming, and they got theirs.”
One of those directors was Brett Ratner, who worked with 50-year-old Romijn in “X-Men: The Last Stand.”
The supermodel, who played Mystique in the original trilogy, said she “didn’t want to throw anyone under the bus… except Brett Ratner.”

“I wasn’t happy working with him, but he got canceled,” she said of Ratner. About him and the other unknown director, she added: “I don’t have to say anything else.”
Ratner was accused of sexual misconduct by six women in 2017, including Olivia Munn and Natasha Henstridge.

Romijn said she knew Bryan Singer, director of 2000’s “X-Men” and its follow-up “X2: X-Men United,” also had his “fair share of stuff” and struggled with her positive memories of working with him .
“He’s a fantastic filmmaker, you know? It was great to see him work,” she admitted. “And you have to decide if you want to try and separate those two things. I know the other cast confronted him about things. But I wasn’t part of that. I wasn’t for it, so I can’t really talk to it.

“There was drama on set, I witnessed it and I heard a lot about it,” said Romijn. “And sometimes he came in unprepared. But he showed up and without any preparation directed the most amazing scene that he put together because he’s such a good filmmaker.”
Romijn did not clarify whether the second director she has “big problems” with was Singer or someone else she left nameless. Fox News Digital has reached out to its representatives for clarification.
