I would think someone would have to be pressured into sleeping with Chris

Who the fuck would want to have sex with Chris Kattan? He's an extremely unattractive person.

Will Lorne refute the charges or step down? Asking for a friend.

He's not gay???

I believe him. She liked to sleep around with comedians and even got pregnant by Harold Ramis while he was married.

He’s a gremlin now, but he was moderately cute at the time the movie was made. I can see how that, combined with being funny, could be a turn on for a lot of woman. Jennifer Coolidge was a bit of a bombshell at the time. Didn’t someone A+ lister who hosted the show have a crush on him as well?

[quote]In the end, Heckerling signed on as a producer on the movie, which is based on a recurring SNL sketch performed by Kattan and Will Ferrell. John Fortenberry ended up directing.

I think Heckerling almost got in trouble with the DGA for taking over and directing some scenes.

Fun fact: Heckerling was with Bronson Pinchot during Kattan's allegations and the making of this movie.

Thanks for posting this, OP! I read this earlier this morning in the NY Post and was kind of shocked...

I guess women in positions of power in the entertainment industry can be just as bad.. :(

I like Heckerling’s films, but this behavior is shady as fuck and just wrong—no matter who does it.

I’m also super disappointed in Lorne Michaels basically telling Chris Kattan to prostitute himself for the sake of a movie project. I’ve heard that Lorne can be an obstinate asshole, but I like me to think he was better than *this*....

Ooops! I meant to say, * I liked to think that Lorne Michaels was better than this...

It literally happened “on the casting couch”!

From OP’s article:

“Kattan alleged that ultimately he and Heckerling had a consensual sexual encounter on the couch in her office.

“She thought it would be fun to have sex on Lorne’s desk,” he wrote. “Wow, what a great idea! Jesus Christ. I said a polite ‘F–k, no!’ to that, so we ended up going to her office and having sex on … yep, you guessed it, the ‘casting couch.’ ”

Kattan writes that he was attracted to Heckerling but at the same time “was very afraid of the power she and Lorne wielded over my career.”

“He decided not to tell anyone about the incident but wrote that it put a strain on his already fraying relationship with actress Jennifer Coolidge.”

So Heckerling has a thing for gay men? Kattan, Pinchot...

Lorne Michaels is a shit, remember he wouldn't speak out again Weinstein because he said "it's a New York thing".

Power corrupts. Blaming all the Hollywood sexual coercion on toxic masculinity oversimplifies something far more complicated.

The thing I found most shocking was that, after the massive success of Clueless, she signed on to make an SNL movie of a shitty sketch as her big follow-up. I remember being surprised at the time that her named was even listed as a producer. Maybe she had a thing for him and that’s why she signed on.

I wonder if she got pushy with Paul Rudd. He has a similar look and starred in two of her films as a love interest.

Anyway, this is a bummer to hear. I had a lot of respect for her.

You think this actually happened? Bwa!!!

Funny how MRA types will automatically believe Kattan but call all the Weinstein victims liars and casting couch whores

Amazingly, she still hasn't made an even halfway decent movie since Clueless, and next year, that film will be 25 years old. I guess she's someone who only had a couple of good movies in her.

[quote] Power corrupts. Blaming all the Hollywood sexual coercion on toxic masculinity oversimplifies something far more complicated.

This. Too much of the me too rhetoric rests on sexist assumptions about women; by their very nature, they are sweet-natured, motherly, and peaceable. It's a fallacy that strips women of both agency and complexity.

Rose McGowan recalls young, male studio execs, a few years out of business school, telling her that they came to Hollywood to "bang actresses". Why should that be any different for female execs? If you're an unattractive, pudgy woman with business smarts, ambition, a big libido and no scruples, why [italic] wouldn't [/italic] you behave just like your male counterparts? Why [italic] not [/italic] follow them to Hollywood and use your power to bed the kind of hunks that wouldn't give you a sideways glance in school or college? For the record, I'm not saying Chris Kattan is a hunk!! But obviously he floated Heckerling's boat and she used her power to get sexual gratification.

Heckerling's daughter, Mollie, has responded. Some highlights:

Kattan and Heckerling had a "consensual" relationship.

Heckerling ended her engagement with Bronson Pinchot to be with Kattan.

When Kattan told Lorne Michaels about his relationship with Heckerling, Michaels asked, "Why would you want to date her? She’s so old."

Michaels' statement resulted in Heckerling having an eating disorder.

Kattan cheated on Heckerling with his Roxbury co-star Elisa Donovan, who played Amber in Clueless.

Well, the years he was on SNL appear to be slim pickins' when it comes to guys.

The only other choices during that period would have been Colin Quin, Chris Parnell, Jimmy Fallon, and Will Forte.

There was also that whole weird thing with Gilbert Gottfried and Molly's nanny. Gilbert would come over and make holocaust jokes, even though the nanny's parents had been in concentration camps.

Kattan already said that it was a "consensual" fuck in his memoir so I'm not exactly sure what Heckerling's daughter thinks she's refuting here.
