The US singer-actor while recalling the incident said, “The woman knows what happened. I know what happened and I have a boundary, and I stand by those boundaries, and that is it.” She further added, “And there were other women that attended that carpet who did not quite look like me, and they didn’t get scolded or pushed off or told to get off.
