Dakota Johnson reveals Alfred sexually assaulted grandmother Tippi

Dakota Johnson, an American actor, is speaking out against Alfred Hitchcock for sexually assaulting her grandmother, actress Tippi Hedren.

Dakota Johnson said in The Hollywood Reporter’s “Awards Chatter” podcast that her grandma was compelled to pay inappropriate benefits to the director in order for him to grow in his career.

“She’s always been really honest and firm about standing up for yourself. That’s what she did,” the Fifty Shades actor said. “[Alfred] Hitchcock ruined her career because she didn’t want to sleep with him, and he terrorized her. He was never held accountable.”

Hedren, who collaborated with the director on the films The Birds (1963) and Marnie (1964), said that she was sexually harassed by him.

Dakota continued, “It’s completely unacceptable for people in a position of power to wield that power over someone in a weaker position, no matter the industry.”

“It’s hard to talk about because she’s my grandmother. You don’t want to imagine somebody taking advantage of your grandmother,” the actor elaborated.
