My married executive producer texting me at three in the morning in an attempt to get me to sleep with him, (absolutely didn't happen). Then was then upset when I told everyone, and tried to say it was a joke, and that I should lighten up.

I was 20 or 21 and about to board a plane to film a low budget shoot in Romania. As I was getting into the van to the airport, a producer came up to me with a blank envelope.

"Hey, I need you to give this to the producer, Vlad, when you get there."

"What is it?"

"$25,000 in cash. Don't declare it at customs."

I was a kid, so I did it.

Commercial shoot with bodybuilders. The producer asked the client on set if they wanted to be oil boys and lube up the bodybuilders. They gladly took up the offer and spent 30 minutes oiling up the bodybuilders, who had no choice but just to take it even though I could tell they weren't comfortable. At the time, everyone was laughing and joking around, including the bodybuilders, but looking back, it was pretty messed up to put them in that situation.

I lived in LA in the 90s I worked on the fringes of the industry, but my company printed a lot of movie posters, so I saw a lot of folks when delivering proofs and such at different lots and offices.

But, where I ran into stuff was when I had a second part-time job at Banana Republic, and the majority of the kids who worked there were all struggling actors, writers, etc. There were a lot of TV shows that were outfitted by BR, and people's party lives crossed over. The amount of times I would be at house parties in which there was a mountain of cocaine on a coffee table was mind-boggling to me, and it was usually "a gift" that was given to one of those kids from someone in the industry, (according to them).

Side note: I once helped Alan Rickman with finding some pants, and he was incredibly nice. I rang him up, wrapped and bagged his stuff, and said "Here are your pants, Mr. Rickman." He chuckled at me, took his bag, turned around to the other people in line behind him and proclaimed: "Yes, THESE are Alan Rickman's trousers!" I still find it hilarious to this day.

Seeing Lindsay Lohan doing lines of coke off the back of a toilet in a club bathroom - this was during the height of the "fire fotch" incident.

A creepy EP that allowed rumors to spread that he was sleeping with me, and when I asked him to clear it up, he chuckled and patted my head saying something along the lines of "oh they won't believe me anyway."

On a reality shoot, I saw a cast member get groped by a rando on camera, and the EP didn’t let me shut it down, intervene or at least pause filming once the guy left so she could process off camera and decide if she wanted to continue.

An Oscar-winning actress coming out of her trailer while stuffing three spare rolls of toilet paper from the under sink cabinet into her Hermes backpack: a bag that was likely worth more than $6,000.

The kicker? Of course production was putting her up in a penthouse suite in the best apartment hotel in Vancouver. She could’ve called the desk, demanded two entire cases of premium toilet paper delivered to her room in the next half hour, and the concierge wouldn’t have even blinked. But no, she just had to steal cheap, airport quality single-ply TP from her Winnebago; if the maintenance Teamster didn’t catch that her supply was out, he would have caught a berating.

Ty Pennington, while he was in a relationship during Extreme Home Makeover, having local production assistants and promising to set them up in LA. One of which ended up pregnant and was forced to have an abortion by him.

The most messed up thing is watching a 22-year-old PA climbing into a big white box truck at the end of a 14 hour shoot at 1 am and driving back from the boonies after crushing a few beers and a couple bumps. I've heard of some bad accidents involving sleep-deprived grunts trying to break in.

Production assistant here. Had to sign so many NDAs about celebrities doing hard drugs between takes. The worst was watching them pressure young actresses into joining them. Some of these girls were barely 18.

An older (50s/60s) director of photography was clearly sleeping with the 18 year old, very naive, AC who came to me asking if I could take her to get Plan B, and if I could help her find an OBGYN because she had never been to one, and her family wouldn't allow it. The (female) EP & Production Manager knew and encouraged it.

I don't work in the industry but know a bunch of people who do. My favorite story is that the filming of “Black Hawk Down” was delayed because Tom Sizemore got a really nasty infection on his face when a Moroccan prostitute peed on his face. Apparently that's the reason he keeps his helmet on the whole movie.

I worked for an indie film company at the end of the dot com boom. We were expanding rapidly, far beyond our means. The bosses had rented a huge multi floor office space with tons of desks and computers, but very few employees - because there was very little work coming in the door. One day, some VC investors were coming down to check us out. The bosses had us run around and put fake work on all of the computer screens. And used coffee cups. And jackets and sweaters on empty chairs. All to appear as if we were a huge bustling office, and they had just happened to come by when the entire staff was out to lunch. It was like that scene in “The Sting,” or a similar scene in “The Grifters,” where some con men fake a bustling office. The deception was shameless and probably illegal and we all felt horrible for having been forced to participate.

Worked as a PA on an end-of-the-world-type show that relocated to filming in Texas way back in the early 2010s. I was excited because it was a cool cast of actors - and some people I was a personal fan of. One was a veteran actress from probably the biggest cult tv show of the 2000s.

Apparently she would often have her period in the clothes she wore for filming… repeatedly. And she would act like nothing had happened at the end of the day. Word was she didn't really do anything or try to prevent this from happening.

I didn't witness this firsthand, but I was a production coordinator on a show where one of the cameramen followed an actress back to her hotel room and tried to sexually assault her. Fortunately she was able to fight him off and get help. He was fired and charged, and she quit because she didn't feel safe anymore. The guy had a 20 year career and I can't imagine this was the first time he'd done something, but it was definitely the first time anyone found out. Terrifying. I don't know what happened to the actress after she left the show. I hope she's doing well.

Worked on a movie set where a white stunt double showed up for Jonathan Majors and was in blackface. I think the excuse was they couldn’t find a black stunt double in New Mexico but he was (understandably) angry and it made everyone super uncomfortable.

Honestly the horrible things that paparazzi scream at celebrities to get a response. It’s atrocious the horrible and abusive things that they scream in their face for a reaction.
