Despite the success, the affection of the fans and the large number of friends he made during his participation in the saga, Jena Malone has mixed feelings about The Hunger Gamesall because he was a victim of sexual abuse. The actress surprised her more than 350 thousand followers on Instagram with a publication in which she recounted one of the most traumatic episodes of her life.
In the photograph Malone can be seen inside a large field. And although she would seem like a common image, the actress explained that she hides much more than anyone would imagine.
“We were filming on a beautiful farm in the French countryside and I asked the driver to let me out into that field so I could cry and ‘capture this moment.’ That time in Paris was extremely hard for me, I was going through a bad breakup and was also sexually assaulted by someone I had worked with, I was so full of gratitude for this project, the people I became close to, and this amazing character. that I had to interpret. It was a swirling mix of emotions that I am now learning to classify.
I wish it wasn’t related to such a traumatic event for me, but I think that’s the real debauchery of life. How to hold chaos with your head. I have worked very hard to heal and learn about justice, about making peace with the person who raped me, and with myself. It’s been hard talking about The Hunger Games and Johanna Mason not feeling the sting of that moment, but I’m ready to move on and reclaim the joy and accomplishment I felt. Much love to the survivors out there. The process is very slow and non-linear. I mean I’m here for whoever needs to talk, vent, or open up uncommunicated spaces within themselves. DM me if you need a safe space to be heard,” she wrote.
So far, various media have contacted Lionsgate to find out their position on the issue. As can be read in Jena Malone’s message, the sexual abuse came from someone with whom she worked in the production of the tape. However, it is not specified if it was an executive, fellow actor, production member, etc. In a comment on the post, Malone said he chose not to release the name of his attacker because of the current “cancel culture.”
In The Hunger Games, Jena Malone gave life to Johanna Mason, a tribute from District 7. Her character was characterized by a rather peculiar character, and by her funny interactions with Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), the protagonist of the story. Since her appearance in On fire (2013), movie fans were delighted with his participation. Therefore, it is understandable that reliving her passing is somewhat complicated. Ironically, the most momentous project of her career also turned out to be one of the worst phases of her life.
Currently, Malone is pending the release of rebel moon, Zack Snyder’s new project for Netflix. It premieres on December 22, 2023.
Juan Jose Cruz I am one of those who always defended Robert Pattinson as Batman and can see the same movie in the theater up to 7 times. My guilty pleasure? Low budget horror movie.
