I really understand [what the victims of Weinstein and others went through].
Youre working it out while this person is being extremely creepy.
She declined to name the people who allegedly harassed her.
If someone was being inappropriate or drunkenly hitting on me it was like, Ha ha!.
You kind of do that, Ryder said.
I dealt with that.
It felt very invasive, she added.
I think in retrospect, it really soured [her on making movies].
All the great actors always told me that when it stops being amazing, you gotta get out.
I really took that to heart.
Ryder also recalled feeling that she was blacklisted byHarvey Weinsteins company Miramax for angering the now-disgraced producer.
And [afterwards] I got like screamed at [by an agent].
What the fuck did you do?
I was like, What?
Apparently, I offended him because I extended my hand?
He did not like me.
