Ellen Page Says Making a Movie with Woody Allen Is the 'Biggest Regret' of Her Career
In the Facebook post, the actress also accused X-Men: The Last Stand director Brett Ratner of outing her as gay when she was 18 on the set of the blockbuster, claiming he told another woman to have sex with her in order to ?make her realize she?s gay? during a cast meet and greet for the film in 2005.
?I was a young adult who had not yet come out to myself. I knew I was gay, but did not know, so to speak,? she wrote. ?I felt violated when this happened. I looked down at my feet, didn?t say a word and watched as no one else did either. This man, who had cast me in the film, started our months of filming at a work event with this horrific, unchallenged plea. He ?outed? me with no regard for my well-being, an act we all recognize as homophobic.?
In 2014, Page came out as gay at a Human Rights Campaign event in the hopes that her experience would help other people struggling with their sexuality.
Page said Ratner?s ?public outing? left her with feelings of shame about her sexuality.
?Making someone feel ashamed of who they are is a cruel manipulation, designed to oppress and repress,? she said. ?I was robbed of more than autonomy over my ability to define myself.?

I?m so proud of Ellen page. She speaks on how she was outed without her consent, her mental health, her expirience with sexual harassment in her work place as well as her insight on this situation. I love this woman.
