Carla Gugino Says She Has 'PTSD' Over Misogynistic Directors

"It’s actual insanity," the "Gerald's Game" star said in a recent interview.

Carla Gugino is opening up about suffering from “a little PTSD” after having her ideas blown off by sexist directors on set during her lengthy Hollywood career.

While recently speaking with fellow actor and “Game of Thrones” star Lena Headey for Interview magazine, Gugino reflected on how her suggestions were often pushed to the side by male directors because of her gender.

“I still do have a little PTSD from a career full of instances where you’re acting with a male actor, and you say to the director, ‘Hey, what about if we try such and such?’ and the male director goes, ‘I don’t think so,’ and then, two minutes later, your fellow actor, who’s an advocate for you, says the exact same thing, and the director’s, ‘Great idea,’” the “Gerald’s Game” actor said in the interview, which was published Friday.

Gugino called the gender discrimination “actual insanity.”

Comparing male directors’ unreproved behavior on set to that of an alcoholic family member, the “Lisa Frankenstein” star added, “This is when the family has an alcoholic and everybody is just like, ‘That person actually has the power.’ It’s in that vein. We’re going to pretend this is not crazy behavior.”
