Rebecca Ferguson Expands Account of On-Set Bullying, Says Others Reported Similar Treatment

She describes confronting a top-billed co-star after producers refused to remove him, then acting to the back of his head.

Overview

  • In a new interview with The Times, Ferguson calls the episode “complex,” says she “was not blameless,” and adds she doesn’t applaud her own behavior.
  • She recounts telling the actor off and says, “I will shove someone under a bus in front of an entire crew to make a point,” while acknowledging regret over that approach.
  • Ferguson confirms the person was not Tom Cruise, Hugh Jackman or Ryan Reynolds, as Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt publicly voiced support and denied being the subject.
  • She says the actor has not contacted her since her comments went viral and that others who worked with him “also had a shitty time.”
  • Detailing the on-set power dynamics, she says producers refused to remove the “number one” from set, so she acted to the back of his head, while media speculation about the identity remains unconfirmed.
