![]() On a daily basis he rigged wires and harnesses on my 12 year old body," Dushku wrote. "To be clear, over the course of those months rehearsing and filming True Lies, it was Joel Kramer who was responsible for my safety on a film that at the time broke new ground for action films. It's not clear what was said to Kramer, who Dushku says gave her the on-set nickname of "Jailbait," but she was injured later that same day. ![]() The post then goes on to describe how Dushku was later injured in a stunt accident after a female industry friend she'd shared the story with visited the True Lies set. I remember how he laid me down on the bed, wrapped me with his gigantic writhing body, and rubbed all over me. I remember what I was wearing (my favorite white denim shorts, thankfully, secured enough for me to keep on). I remember vividly how he methodically drew the shades and turned down the lights how he cranked up the air-conditioning to what felt like freezing levels, where exactly he placed me on one of the two hotel room beds, what movie he put on the television (Coneheads) how he disappeared in the bathroom and emerged, naked, bearing nothing but a small hand towel held flimsy at his mid-section. Instead, he subjected her to an experience that is so burned into memory, she's able to relate the smallest details even now, 25 years later. He was supposed to take her to the stunt crew's swimming pool, and then out for a sushi dinner. This action can also only undermine the suffering of women who have had to deal with unjust treatment.Dushku writes in detail about the way Kramer built trust with her on the set, and then used that trust to secure parental permission for some alone time with the young actor. In truth, innocence in fact is not enough to clear a person’s name in the minds on the world. This false accusation has subjected my family and me to death treats and will devastate my livelihood even when proven to be false. It is unfortunate, however that this new culture allows a person to destroy the life and livelihood of a person with false accusations. I understand the culture in Hollywood has been historically unfair to women and I applaud and support women who are standing up and pointing out these injustices. Dushku to make this statement and I hope that she can find it in her conscious to correct this injustice and return my good name to me. These allegations are a well-crafted fabrication by Ms. Dushku in our group to make her feel welcome and included. Dushku did come swimming with several of the stunt crew at our hotel and afterwards had sushi with us, again we were not alone and I did not “Lure her to my hotel room.” We as a “family” were including Ms. I was never in a position where I was alone with her and even while working with her on set her female stunt double was always there to help her into her harness, offer support and ensure her well being. ![]() I never behaved in any way inappropriately with her. A film crew is like a family, and Eliza was always treated and protected as a member of the family. ![]() Dushku with respect and was protective of her safety and welfare as is appropriate to my position as a stunt coordinator. "Early this morning Eliza Dushku made a accusation against me on her Facebook page. When he was ‘finished’, he suggested, ‘I think we should be careful…,’ he meant.” He spoke these words: ‘You’re not going to sleep on me now sweetie, stop pretending you’re sleeping,’ as he rubbed harder and faster against my catatonic body. “I remember what I was wearing (my favorite white denim shorts, thankfully, secured enough for me to keep on). “I remember vividly how he methodically drew the shades and turned down the lights how he cranked up the air-conditioning to what felt like freezing levels, where exactly he placed me on one of the two hotel room beds, what movie he put on the television (‘Coneheads’) how he disappeared in the bathroom and emerged, naked, bearing nothing but a small hand towel held flimsy at his mid-section,” she wrote. "True Lies" director James Cameron commended Dushku for coming forward while lamenting the fact that he was unaware of what was going on during the filming of the 1994 action movie.
