Melissa Benoist calls for harassers to be held accountable

'Supergirl'

star Melissa Benoist is calling for

Hollywood

to change for better after series show runner

Andrew Kreisberg

was accused of sexual harassment by multiple women.

Benoist released a statement on Twitter after Kreisberg was suspended, the studio conducts an investigation of multiple allegations of sexual harassment against him.





"I am a woman who leads a show that supports equality and feminism, empowerment, and fighting for what is right. Sadly, the show and my career are part of an industry that doesn't always mirror these sentiments.

"When people commit crimes or harass others they should always be held accountable no matter what industry they work in or how much power they wield. So this week, I'll head back to Supergirl even more committed to being a part of changing the norm by listening when people speak up, and refusing to accept an environment that is anything less than a safe, respectful and collaborative space," she wrote.


Kreisberg, however, has denied that any inappropriate touching or massages occurred.
