The fact that SHE got stigmatized and it cast a dark shadow on her career, while the actor and director suffered not a single consequence, is just insane.
In short, they groomed her for a scene that was not in the script she had agreed to film, resulting in the filmed scene being a literal sexual assault. Brandon and Bertolucci, along with the complicit film crew who stood back and watched it happen, should have been prosecuted.
This movie should be banned worldwide! The world needs to speak out on rape! This is an evil movie...made so by 2 sicko men. Shame on the film industry for promoting this as art! Has the film industry ever condemned this movie? Acknowledge the fact that this woman was defiled, used and abused? This is not entertainment or art!
Two powerful men got away with exploiting a beautiful and innocent young woman against her will. She trusted them and they abused her and memorialized it on film. They traumatized her and led to her deterioration. I always admired Marlon Brando as an actor and a person but I never really understood what he did in that film until now. My opinion is changed forever.
Basically, the young girl was raped and sexually assaulted on screen via coercion from the rapist and his co rapist who both made money and got famous from this crime. The girl was discarded, traumatized and humiliated, and thousands of viewers across the world repeated this offense by viewing it, we're tricked into becoming complicit with the rapists. She received no trauma counseling it seems and spiraled into a dark live. I'm sure her cancer had quite alit to do with her unresolved trauma. Physically, sexually, emotionally and legally, this woman was raped on and on. Now that the truth is revealed, the film should be removed, banned from being watched. It's not art or an arty movie at all but a rape captured on film and enables secondary rape of a person by being viewed and reacted to by viewers. Surely other legal action can be taken too.
I had no idea this young girl was actually violated in that movie. It’s a shame those 2 men weren’t charged with r@pe. She was let down by nearly every man in her life including her own father. I hope she found peace.
The victim lost everything in life, suffered trauma throughout her life whereas the men culprits enjoyed fame and money, lived a luxurious life .. Disgusting...
I saw that movie in Vermont in a theater. I had no idea until now that it was really a rape film. I'm sure that the back story was out there, but I really did not realize what had happened. Brandon and Bertolucci should have been prosecuted. This is such a horrible, horrible story. One of extreme misogyny, to say the least. I'm so sorry that she was so horribly abused and had her life ruined by men pretty much from her conception.
Misogyny and the patriarchy are why Marlon Brando got away with it, why this was allowed to remain in theaters, and why the poor girl got shammed, harassed, and attacked by society. Everyone involved in the film except the victim should've got jail time.
I saw this mivie once. I wasnt sure if I was seeing what I thought i was seeing. Ive never really been a Brando fan . For this to have been allowed is beyond porn. It was rape. That poor girl.
I never saw or understood the appeal Brando had for women. I never saw why people considered him as a handsome man. He has always repulsed me. He just looks evil.
It’s mind-blowing how condescending these dudes were… :/ to think they would do this to her so she could act “naturally” in her hatred for him and the crying… all for some stupid movie… absolutely disgusting the lack of regard for her.
Shame on them both. It seems as though she never had a good male role model, and that solidified it with that one scene. Marlon Brando is disgusting as it is. They should have both been brought up on charges and jailed.
I was young when the movie came out. As an ex-drama student I heard awful things that were done to Maria. To this day I refused to see the movie. She was a victim of rape and it’s unacceptable. It’s appalling that anyone would call that scene an erotic work of art. It’s grotesque and perverted in every way. Both the Director and Brando should have been held accountable. It doesn’t matter if it was an exotic film but the director and Brando premeditated to rape the actress which was not in the script. What makes me sick is how Brando’s son tried to clear his father’s name. Also, Brad Pitt wished that he had a role like Brando. It’s so disturbing in so many levels. Young people are used as pawns which rich and powerful people in the industry destroy and use souls for their own perversions.
It’s a sad thing that two older people destroyed a young innocent persons life. They knew full well what happens when people get raped and taking advantage of a kid is just wrong on so many levels.
To Rape a young woman in the name of art is so much worse because of the premeditation and discussions taking place between the two men as well as the act of intentionally keeping her in the dark until moments before it was to take place. The coercion and denying any time to seek advice or consult anyone outside of the two men who already showed to care nothing about the woman they were about to SA. they admitted wanting to reveal her distress in its most genuine form. engineering the whole scene to share with the world her weakest while being Marlon and all his star power took her innocence and betrayed her is so disgraceful and Brad pitt should be ashamed of himself for praising the performance. I cannot believe that this film has' been pulled and the people who allowed it to be marketed as well as those who conceived the vile portrayal and the one who physically carried out the illegal act should all be stripped of any and all praises. every mention of their name should be given an asterix and a footnote attached to force their crimes to always be in the spotlight while they are kept in the dark.
Disgusting! Brandon and director Bertelucci should have been heavily charged and hefty jail time. She was just a young nieve girl. That was rape , unconsentual, put in a humiliating situation in front of crew members etcetera, she must have been in frozen brain shock and under pressure of narcissists. As far as I'm concerned, this takes all admiration of Brand as an actor and human to Zero ! Same for Bertelucci. What pigs they are and everyone else involved.
Bless Vanessa for standing up for her cousin (tho let's be real they're more like sisters, given how they grew up) and for speaking up about these horrors. It's so sad and terrifying that Maria had to go through all of this AND the public reacted like that... This poor woman was constantly let down and betrayed by pretty much everyone
The young girl had no reason to lie. I believe this really happened to her. I think Marlon’s son doesn’t really know who his father was! I think that his father may have tried to make up or possibly tried to cover up for his egregious behavior. People go to prison for such violations or they are supposed to. I think it is easy to glamorize a parent because you don’t experience them in the same way that this young woman did. It has long been said that his father got around in the bedroom dept. It has been said that he played switch hitters on both teams. I’m sure his son doesn’t believe that either! Where there is smoke, there is usually fire! On another note, Brad Pitt saying that he would have loved to play that role instead of Marlon was really telling of his mindset about women. He has daughters now. The oldest is just about the same age as that young actress was when she was violated. I wonder if he would be so keen on it if this happened to his own daughter?? It is a crime & the one who commits it, is a criminal! Period!!! It’s a sick world we live in!🤢😡
I am shocked and sickened by this. I have never seen the Movie, and out of respect for her I will never watch it. I have heard other stories from other female actresses through the years about the abuse they suffered and not all sexual. Some just being bullied and treated like crap.. in older movies and Newer. When so many were abused on what was called the casting couch or something like it. Even Shirley Temple was messed with. Sad!!!
Both those men should of been charged with Rape and more. They both should have been in prison!!! And, they should not be allowed to show that movie. Ever!!!
Poor girl and disgusting men plotting to brutally r her and humiliate her on Camera I feel so sorry for her poor girl and she probably didn’t know her rights as well or have a lawyer 💔
Everything was caught on video so that is evidence itself of the lustful perversion if brando and that sick twisted director. Selfish animals. May God give the victim justice that was elusive to her. I will never look to brando the same way I did. I sympathize with the victim and of course brando son will defend him but his father is sick to have done such evil to a young woman. They deceived and manipulated her. Those pervert sickos.
What a heinous and cruel thing to do to a young impressionable woman - she was still just a teen. How is this not r*pe in every sense of the word? She was not prepared, she was not consoled, but worse, she did NOT CONSENT! They should both have gone to prison!
I think something similar happened with Bruce Dern and Maude Adams in a movie scene. Even Dana Delaney once referenced her objection to actors “inserting a finger” during scenes but she didn’t elaborate beyond that. Imagine what goes on off camera. The elites have enjoyed a certain level of immunity to sexual assault and it still goes on.
Omg that is sexual assault, they should have been put in jail. Imagine that poor girl, bad enough what happened but to have the entire world then watch it, my gawd it is just heart wrenching🥺
I saw this film as a young woman myself. I went with my best friend. We were young and thought ‘oh wow, let’s go watch it if it’s erotic’. We both thought there was nothing erotic about it - it was vile. What would a beautiful young girl see in the ugly, self-centred Brando. And as for Bertolucci . . . Now, all these years later a friend of mine came out with a great comment (totally unrelated to this) “all it takes is two men with issues” (to make a woman feel she’s wrong). They took massive advantage of that girl and they should have been reported and prosecuted for this. A film is not for rich old men to play out their fantasies. No wonder I didn’t date older men!
Brando's late daughter Cheyenne also accused him of molestation, and being involved in the death of her baby daddy. He left her son put of the will. Very telling.
I saw this film. It was more than butter they used on that young woman. They should have been jailed. As for Miko....it's on film and can not be denied. Plus the director has a video out stating that Marlon and he did the scene without Marie's permission or knowledge.
The fact that SHE got stigmatized and it cast a dark shadow on her career, while the actor and director suffered not a single consequence, is just insane.
Rape is rape. Jail time for both men. No man should ever be allowed to get away with sex crimes.
In short, they groomed her for a scene that was not in the script she had agreed to film, resulting in the filmed scene being a literal sexual assault. Brandon and Bertolucci, along with the complicit film crew who stood back and watched it happen, should have been prosecuted.
Shame on those men for destroying Maria's life. Both of them belonged in prison for a very long time. No one deserves to be sexually assaulted.
This movie should be banned worldwide! The world needs to speak out on rape! This is an evil movie...made so by 2 sicko men. Shame on the film industry for promoting this as art! Has the film industry ever condemned this movie? Acknowledge the fact that this woman was defiled, used and abused? This is not entertainment or art!
Making a movie doesn't give anyone the right to plan and commit a violent crime, so they can film that violent act.
Two powerful men got away with exploiting a beautiful and innocent young woman against her will. She trusted them and they abused her and memorialized it on film. They traumatized her and led to her deterioration. I always admired Marlon Brando as an actor and a person but I never really understood what he did in that film until now. My opinion is changed forever.
She was rejected by her family. And later by her audience. How awful. Both were not her fault.
Brad Pitt saying he’d wish he was in Marlon’s role is sickening
Pure rape and injustice. Marlon and his pal should got to jail for that like R Kelly.

I am disgusted by this actor and director! They should have gone to jail. Everyone should be outraged with this!!
I had no idea this young girl was actually violated in that movie. It’s a shame those 2 men weren’t charged with r@pe. She was let down by nearly every man in her life including her own father. I hope she found peace.
So sad that this was allowed to happen . Another case of demoralizing a women .
Wow if a man can do that while ppl are filming and watching imagine what he does behind closed doors
Brando makes my skin crawl acting as himself in the movie gives an insight into his mind set Both these men should have been held accountable.
That's Disgusting!! No one should ever have to go through that! 😒😡
These guys should have gone to jail.
Imagine abandoning your already abandoned daughter!
What a brioche of a mother!💔
They used ACTING as an excuse to commit a horrible crime. Unbelievable.
Totally Criminal & Vile. Everyone Should Be Outraged! 🤬
Disgusting I lost my respect to Marlon Brando and Bertolucci
Shame on her Mother and Father first and foremost, then shame on Brando and everyone involved in the making of this movie!
It was a Crime! Brando and Bertolucci got away with it👎👎👎
Rape was prominent then, and the victim was always blamed.
She was so cute and they were bastards.
Brad Pitt is also disgusting for "loving this work of art."
The victim lost everything in life, suffered trauma throughout her life whereas the men culprits enjoyed fame and money, lived a luxurious life ..
Disgusting...
Such a hypocrite, marching with Martin Luther King and rapping a woman.
I saw that movie in Vermont in a theater. I had no idea until now that it was really a rape film. I'm sure that the back story was out there, but I really did not realize what had happened.

What a sad story Brando and other producer should have been jailed for longer both 🐷
I never saw or understood the appeal Brando had for women. I never saw why people considered him as a handsome man. He has always repulsed me. He just looks evil.
It’s mind-blowing how condescending these dudes were… :/
to think they would do this to her so she could act “naturally” in her hatred for him and the crying…
all for some stupid movie…
absolutely disgusting the lack of regard for her.
Shame on them both. It seems as though she never had a good male role model, and that solidified it with that one scene. Marlon Brando is disgusting as it is. They should have both been brought up on charges and jailed.
People should boycott unnecessary sexually objectifying actors
This is a crime, way too early for the "me-too" movement. How horrible she had to go through that.
Brando was sick man with many influental friends. His parties with popular people are still remembered.
He knew exactly what he was doing! Showed their true character!
Marlon and the producer should have both been arrested! Disgusting. They ruined her life.
So there is an actual rape scene in that movie? Absolutely sickening.
I was young when the movie came out. As an ex-drama student I heard awful things that were done to Maria. To this day I refused to see the movie. She was a victim of rape and it’s unacceptable.

That poor poor girl. They should be behind bars.
Imagine not only getting away with a crime, but profiting from he evidence. Mindblowing.
IF PEOPLE STOP WATCHING THIS KIND OF MOVIES. They will stop to movies bcz NO MONEY NO MOVIE . We R ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR IT .
It’s a sad thing that two older people destroyed a young innocent persons life. They knew full well what happens when people get raped and taking advantage of a kid is just wrong on so many levels.
Brad Pitt is despicable if he actually said that he wished to play Brando's role as the r@pist of a very young lady. Absolutely disgusting.
What a disgusting way they treated her. They should both be in jail

They did it b ecause they
can get away the abuse.
There are vile people who prey
innocent victim.
Disgusting! Brandon and director Bertelucci should have been heavily charged and hefty jail time. She was just a young nieve girl. That was rape , unconsentual, put in a humiliating situation in front of crew members etcetera, she must have been in frozen brain shock and under pressure of narcissists. As far as I'm concerned, this takes all admiration of Brand as an actor and human to Zero ! Same for Bertelucci. What pigs they are and everyone else involved.
Glad I've never watched that movie.
M.B. is a monster!.. I never liked him anyway...
They used and abused her..unacceptable..unforgivable..
I imagine as a man it’s hard to accept the fact that your father was a rapist. And SHAME on her own parents. May she Rest In Peace 💔
Shame on the film industry - not only the director and Marlon were sick minded men but also Brat Pitt. Lost all respect for those predators.
Brando was a known freak but that's what Hollywood glamorizes.
Those actors should be held accountable. She wasn't told what she had to do, until the end. That's rape.
sad story Brando and other producer should have been jailed for longer both . it was porn
Marlon Brando was always freaky and low down. Ms. Rita Moreno almost ended her life over him.
Bertulloci and marlon Brando.. disgusting
Bless Vanessa for standing up for her cousin (tho let's be real they're more like sisters, given how they grew up) and for speaking up about these horrors.
It's so sad and terrifying that Maria had to go through all of this AND the public reacted like that... This poor woman was constantly let down and betrayed by pretty much everyone
So interesting how the woman who was violated is the one the public shunned. Kind of like the classic story of Medusa.
The young girl had no reason to lie. I believe this really happened to her. I think Marlon’s son doesn’t really know who his father was!

When so many were abused on what was called the casting couch or something like it. Even Shirley Temple was messed with. Sad!!!
Never liked him. He was creepy. Even as a kid in the 60s. Never liked his movies. He just seemed dangerous. Also never watched the movie.
Both those men should of been charged with Rape and more. They both should have been in prison!!! And, they should not be allowed to show that movie. Ever!!!
Absolutely disturbing. Marlon and B are repulsive. And should have been in prison.
Most people didn’t know it happened in real
Brando was a brute .
So wrong to rape her! The men should jailed and heavily fined!
Omg that’s horrible. I feel so sorry for her. How sad
Marlon Brando always creeped me out. Now I know why. Bertolucci is pure filth.
Poor girl and disgusting men plotting to brutally r her and humiliate her on Camera I feel so sorry for her poor girl and she probably didn’t know her rights as well or have a lawyer 💔
Bertolucci ought to have gone to jail. Period.
Everything was caught on video so that is evidence itself of the lustful perversion if brando and that sick twisted director. Selfish animals. May God give the victim justice that was elusive to her. I will never look to brando the same way I did. I sympathize with the victim and of course brando son will defend him but his father is sick to have done such evil to a young woman.

This is sad and heartbreaking these men should be in prison even though Marlon Brando is dead
His son does realize, that these in part were his fathers ideas?
What a heinous and cruel thing to do to a young impressionable woman - she was still just a teen. How is this not r*pe in every sense of the word? She was not prepared, she was not consoled, but worse, she did NOT CONSENT! They should both have gone to prison!
I’m absolutely disgusted with these men! Literally WTF? No excuse whatsoever! That poor girl!
May her soul rest in peace 🙏
I think something similar happened with Bruce Dern and Maude Adams in a movie scene. Even Dana Delaney once referenced her objection to actors “inserting a finger” during scenes but she didn’t elaborate beyond that. Imagine what goes on off camera.

Disgusting! Poor girl. I had no idea.
The director acting out his own perversions. Hollywood is sick!
Omg that is sexual assault, they should have been put in jail. Imagine that poor girl, bad enough what happened but to have the entire world then watch it, my gawd it is just heart wrenching🥺
Her estate should sue his.
I couldn't stand his acting these two men should have been charged more

Brando's late daughter Cheyenne also accused him of molestation, and being involved in the death of her baby daddy. He left her son put of the will. Very telling.
I ignored the film. I never saw it. I boycotted it.
Horrible people !😮😢👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
I saw this film. It was more than butter they used on that young woman. They should have been jailed. As for Miko....it's on film and can not be denied. Plus the director has a video out stating that Marlon and he did the scene without Marie's permission or knowledge.
The movie industry is not that good to women and still isn’t.
To be for human rights doesn’t mean you cannot be a pervert too
Her Soul must still be looking for justice, the two men should have been in jail😡, i hate Brad Pitt now
If those men think they got away with it, they have to answer to GOD.
One thing we have to do : Boycott both Brando and Betolucci !!
She could've and should've sued, right?
They should have been arrested. 🤬
