Scott Patterson felt like a “meat stick” on ‘Gilmore Girls’ set: “It was the most disturbing time”
I realized it wasn’t OK, and it didn’t make me feel comfortable at all. It made me feel really embarrassed, actually. It is infuriating to be treated that way–it is infuriating– because you’re being treated like an object.It’s disturbing, and it’s disgusting, and I had to endure that through that entire scene and many takes.
It was all about the butt, the butt, the butt, the butt. When we weren’t filming, we were sitting down — people were still talking about the butt, the butt, the butt.
It was the most disturbing time I have ever spent on that set, and I couldn’t wait for that day to be over.It’s as disgusting for women to objectify men as it is for men to objectify women, and it’s as harmful.
Just because it was 2003 doesn’t mean it was OK. It’s never OK, and I didn’t feel comfortable doing it, and it pissed me off.
