Actress Nastassja Kinski is speaking out against Roman Polanski, the director behind the 1976 film "Tess," in which she starred alongside Marcellino, a 21-year-old man at the time, but was just 13 when filming began. Kinski's revelation comes as a new wave of allegations against Polanski resurface, sparking renewed debate about the film industry's handling of abuse cases. At the center of the controversy is Polanski's handling of Kinski during filming, with the actress claiming the director failed to protect her from exploitation. As the #MeToo movement continues to shed light on decades-old cases of abuse, Kinski's statement is likely to reignite the conversation about accountability and consequences in the entertainment industry.


Nastassja Kinski, who appeared in the film when she was 13, said the film-maker "didn't protect me".
