Fox News
Andie MacDowell said she suffered a panic attack on a set in 2016 after noticing the all-male male cast and crew. She said the incident took place shortly after Donald Trump was elected president.
"I had this kind of crazy experience, right after Trump got elected," MacDowell said. "I was really disturbed that nobody seemed to care about the vagina[-grabbing] comment; I had gotten really sad. I went to do a job, a day’s work, and I had my very first panic attack. I was getting ready to shoot something, and I turn around and it’s, like, a roomful of men. Like, a sea of men. It flashed on something that was personal for me. And I dropped to my knees."
MacDowell continued, "I left the room, and went into this fake bathroom on the set, and looked at myself in the mirror and said, ‘Get your s--- together.’ It just freaked me out, not seeing any other women. It’s not that I have anything against men. I don’t! I just don’t like big groups of them. Since then, I’ve become very conscious of looking around and finding the women on set. For comfort."
