Aaron Taylor-Johnson in Hot Water: Bullying Scandal Rocks Hollywood!
Aaron Taylor-Johnson Embroiled in Shocking Bullying Scandal: Former Co-Star's Damning Allegations Resurface
The Hollywood drama never ends, and this time, it's Aaron Taylor-Johnson who's at the center of a bullying storm. The 35-year-old actor, known for his roles in Marvel movies and TV shows like "Skins," has been accused by his former co-star Sandra Echeverría of intentionally trying to hurt her during filming for their 2012 movie "Savages."
The explosive allegations resurfaced over the weekend after a post on social media sparked widespread shock and outrage. The post, made by Mexican actress Sandra Echeverría in 2020, revealed that she had been bullied and harmed on set while filming one of the most memorable scenes in the movie.
According to Sandra's statement, Aaron Taylor-Johnson allegedly intentionally revved up a truck's engine, causing her to be thrown across the vehicle while she was tied up with her arms and legs bound. The incident occurred during a scene where she was supposed to be kidnapped by the characters played by Aaron and his co-star Taylor Kitsch.
Sandra, now 40, claimed that Aaron later apologized to her at the movie's premiere, but she has chosen not to speak out about the incident until now. Her statement on social media in 2020 left many of her fans stunned and outraged, with some expressing their surprise that they had never heard about this before.
"I was filming a scene for #Savages, and I was tied up in the trunk," Sandra wrote on Twitter (translated from Spanish). "Between takes, Aaron and Taylor would rev the engine really hard so that I would fly around and hit against the movement of the van. They thought it was funny."
The incident left her badly hurt, but Sandra chose to keep quiet about it at the time, fearing retribution or damage to her career. However, her statement has sparked a heated debate online, with many calling for Aaron Taylor-Johnson to be held accountable for his actions.
As the scandal continues to unfold, The Scholarly Note reached out to representatives for Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Oliver Stone (the director of "Savages"), and Taylor Kitsch but received no comment. Meanwhile, Sandra's allegations have sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, with many calling for greater accountability and respect towards actors on set.
The incident raises questions about workplace bullying and the power dynamics at play in Hollywood. The fact that Sandra chose to keep quiet about it for so long speaks volumes about the fear and intimidation that can exist behind the scenes of movie sets.
Since her stint in "Savages," Sandra has gone on to star in numerous films, including "The Book of Life" (2014) and "The Secret Life of Pets" (2016). She also had a lead role in the Mexican series "María Félix: La Doña" and currently stars in the sitcom "Casados con hijos."
As for Aaron Taylor-Johnson, his reputation has been left tarnished by these allegations. With fans calling for him to be dropped from future projects, it remains to be seen how this scandal will affect his career.
The Scholarly Note spoke with industry insiders who expressed their shock and disappointment at the news. "This is a wake-up call for Hollywood," said one insider. "We need to create a culture where actors feel safe and respected on set."
With this scandal still unfolding, one thing is clear: Aaron Taylor-Johnson's reputation has been forever changed by these allegations of workplace bullying and abuse of power.
