"During a discussion about the documentary’s logistics, he drank a bottle of wine alone and began yelling for two hours. I had to share my location with my team, my parents, and Disney colleagues in case something happened to me."
"I locked myself in a room to stay safe, praying he wouldn’t come in at night. I was terrified for my life."
