Rita Avila, a seasoned Filipino actress, has shared her experience of sexual harassment in a recent Instagram post. She revealed that when she was starting her career in show business, a director attempted to forcefully kiss her. This disclosure comes amid a wave of others speaking out about sexual abuse.

Avila expressed her disappointment and anger in her post. She highlighted the importance of speaking out and seeking justice for those affected. She stated that many people in the industry suffer in silence due to fear of repercussions.

The incident occurred when Avila was on the cusp of her acting career. She described feeling vulnerable and unsure of how to handle the situation at the time. The director approached her under the pretext of a professional interaction. It quickly escalated into an unwanted advance.

Avila did not name the director in her post. However, she called on the industry to take a firmer stance against such behavior. She urged others who have experienced similar situations to share their stories.

In her post, Avila also addressed the societal norms that often protect harassers and silence victims. She mentioned the need for a cultural shift where individuals no longer have to endure such treatment. Avila believes that by raising awareness, the entertainment industry can create a safer environment for everyone.

She concluded her message by encouraging fellow victims to come forward. Avila expressed hope that sharing her experience would inspire others to speak about their own challenges. The response from her followers was significant, with many offering support and sharing their own experiences of harassment.
