The TURN: Washington's Spies took a photo of former Presidents Barack Obama and Bush shaking hands in a gathering of other former presidents where she said in a lengthy caption:
I found it disturbing because I recognize the respect ex-presidents are given for having served. And I feel pride and reverence toward many of the men in the photo. But when I got the chance to meet George H. W. Bush four years ago to promote a historical television show I was working on, he sexually assaulted me while I was posing for a similar photo.
She added, her AMC castmates had known about the alleged assault, and now she decided to come forward because of ''the bravery of other women who have spoken up and written about their experiences."
