Carrie Fisher’s Remarkable Response to Alleged Assault: A Cow’s Tongue Tale

Amidst the ongoing Hollywood scandal surrounding Harvey Weinstein, a screenwriter, Heather Robinson, has come forth with her own tale of survival and the extraordinary support she received from actress Carrie Fisher following an alleged s–ual assault by a producer.

Robinson disclosed that she and Fisher developed a friendship after connecting in an AOL chat room where they discussed the industry and workshopped screenplays.

In this virtual space, Robinson confided in Fisher about an incident involving an unnamed award-winning producer.

To Robinson's surprise, Fisher's response to her plight was unconventional – it involved an unexpected item.

During an interview on Arizona radio show “The Morning Mix,” Robinson recounted an unsettling encounter in 2000 when a producer purportedly assaulted her after inviting her for dinner to discuss a project.

Reflecting on the distressing incident, Robinson expressed feelings of shame and narrated how the producer forcefully restrained her in his car, prompting her to struggle and eventually flee to safety.

Following the ordeal, Robinson debated whether to report the incident to authorities but opted for silence out of fear.

However, seeking solace, she reached out to Fisher, who responded with unwavering support.

Fisher assured Robinson that the producer would not harm her again, offering a sense of comfort during a tumultuous time.

Weeks later, Fisher informed Robinson of a peculiar gesture she had made towards the producer – delivering a cow tongue in a Tiffany's box with a stern warning.

The symbolic gift, accompanied by a note outlining consequences for further misconduct, brought some levity to Robinson after the trauma she endured.

Describing Fisher as having a compassionate nature, Robinson emphasized the actress's capacity to provide a safe haven for those she cared for.

Despite the passage of years and the realization that she was not at fault, Robinson credits the recent Weinstein scandal for reigniting conversations about s–ual assault and harassment in Hollywood, fostering solidarity among women.

Robinson believes that social media has empowered women in the industry to speak out and find support akin to the refuge that Fisher provided her.

She acknowledges that each individual's journey towards healing is unique, emphasizing that shedding light on past traumas is a personal choice that should be respected within a supportive community.
