Overview

  • She calls raising her daughters Jackson (12) and August (9) as a single adoptive mother one of the healthiest decisions of her life.
  • Her choice to adopt stems from her South African childhood experiences with orphaned children and reflects a deliberately chosen path to parenthood.
  • She describes a recent sexual encounter with a 26-year-old man as “damn great” and frames it as part of embracing women’s sexual freedom.
  • She reveals undergoing therapy after a relationship with a narcissist and credits that healing process with helping her establish firm personal and professional boundaries.
  • She declines to name the director who harassed her early in her career and reiterates that she prefers not to date colleagues in the film industry.
