Romjin mentioned, “There was drama on set, and I witnessed it and I heard a lot about it. And he sometimes didn’t come in prepared.”
“But he would show up and, without any preparation whatsoever, direct the most awesome scene that he was able to put together because he’s such a good filmmaker.”

“I was not happy working with him,” shared the actress.
Romijn added, “But he’s been cancelled. I haven’t spoken up about anything with regard to #MeToo, because I had two major issues with two directors I’ve worked with and both of them already got theirs, one of them being Brett Ratner.”
