Ellen Page accuses Brett Ratner of homophobic behavior on 'X-Men' set

Ellen Page has accused disgraced filmmaker Brett Ratner of homophobic behavior toward her on the set of 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand, outing her to the rest of the cast and crew.

Page, in an essay posted Friday on her Facebook page, also said she was ashamed of working with alleged sexual predator Woody Allen on his 2012 movie To Rome With Love.

According to Page, Ratner made the slur about her to another actress during the first day of filming on X-Men: The Last Stand, in which Page was starring as Kitty Pryde.

“‘You should f— her to make her realize she’s gay.’ He said this about me during a cast and crew ‘meet and greet’ before we began filming, X Men: The Last Stand. I was eighteen years old. He looked at a woman standing next to me, ten years my senior, pointed to me and said: ‘You should fuck her to make her realize she’s gay.’ He was the film’s director, Brett Ratner.”

“I was a young adult who had not yet come out to myself. I knew I was gay, but did not know, so to speak. I felt violated when this happened,” Page wrote of Ratner’s comment. “I looked down at my feet, didn’t say a word and watched as no one else did either. This man, who had cast me in the film, started our months of filming at a work event with this horrific, unchallenged plea. He ‘outed’ me with no regard for my well-being, an act we all recognize as homophobic.”

Anna Paquin, who also starred in the film, confirmed Page’s story on Twitter. “I was there when that comment was made,” Paquin wrote on social media shortly after Page went public. “I stand with you .@EllenPage”
