【Dear Utol (2025): Binyag Episode 43】

Even after her death Carrie Fisher is Dear Utol (2025): Binyag Episode 43having none of your bullshit.

Heather Ross, a friend of Fisher's, spoke to a local radio station in Tucson, AZ. about her experience with sexual assault in Hollywood. On the 94.9 Morning Mix, Ross recalled inappropriate advances from a big name producer and how Fisher made clear she had a zero-tolerance policy for that kind of behavior.

After Ross was assaulted by "an Oscar-winning producer" – not Weinstein, but another – Fisher was furious. After the initial shock and fear wore off, Fisher ran into the producer at Sony and delivered him a package.

"It was a cow tongue from Jerry’s Famous Deli with a note that said, ‘If you ever touch my darling Heather or any other woman again, the next delivery will be something of yours in a much smaller box.’”

The cow tongue was all Fisher's idea, natch, and she made sure to deliver it in person and watch him open the box.

"That's just how she was," Ross said. "I miss her dearly. She stood up for people...She put things out there and in your face."

Ross met the producer online – their conversations weren't sexual or romantic, she said, but he did want to meet up and get her involved with his latest project.

"I felt safe thinking, 'I'm overweight, I'm not attractive to these people, I'm not looking to become an actress,'" she explained.

She met with him and he made sexual advances. "When it happened, it happened so quickly that I was ashamed of myself," she said. "I thought I did something wrong. And I thought, 'Well, maybe by meeting up with him...I was asking for it.'"

The producer picked her up in his car then made an excuse to pull over. He reached over her to quickly recline the passenger-side seat then pushed himself on top of her.

Ross explained she thought she was "protected" by not fitting Hollywood's beauty standards, but her story confirms what most women know and what a piece like Mayim Bialik's New York Timescolumn failed to pick up on: This happens to all women.

Ross told her mother and friends but ultimately stayed silent for many years, describing the massive power gap between a "kid from Tucson" and an award-winning producer.
