Ringwald: Hollywood 'Predators' Took Advantage of Me

The “Breakfast Club” star, now 56, shared on the “WTF with Marc Maron” podcast Monday that she was shy when she was younger, and so she didn’t go out clubbing much or insert herself into the celeb scene.

“Well, you’re lucky you didn’t get taken advantage of or got into some sort of horrible situation,” host Marc Maron said in response, which prompted Ringwald to rebut, “Oh, I was taken advantage of.”

“You can’t be a young actress in Hollywood and … not have predators around,” the “Sixteen Candles” star explained. “But I wasn’t raped by Harvey Weinstein, so, I’m grateful for that.”

This isn't the first time or even the second time Ringwald has made these claims. She wrote a New Yorker piece almost eight years ago to explain that Weinstein was hardly the only predator in Hollywood. Let's just say that it really doesn't surprise me to hear it.
