Eliza Dushku, in an emotional Facebook post, reports that she was molested by stunt coordinator Joel Kramer while filming True Lies when she was 12 years old. “These are outlandish, manipulated lies,” Kramer told the website Deadline. True Lies director James Cameron says he was unaware of the allegations, but if he had known “there would have been no mercy.”

Jamie Lee Curtis, who played Eliza’s mother in the 1994 action flick, published an essay Sunday in the HuffPost about the revelation saying, “Eliza’s story has now awakened us from our denial slumber to a new, horrific reality. He said that Dushku’s accusations were “absurd” and added: “Who in their right mind would do something like that, when you’re a high-profile coordinator on a shoot like that with months left of shooting?”

Minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian during production, but Sue Booth-Forbes, who was Dushku’s guardian on the set, says that she had failed to protect the child actor. The 1994 megamovie from Jim Cameron had all the elements of a great action movie: the star of the era, Arnold Schwarzenegger; good chemistry with his costars Jamie Lee Curtis and Tom Arnold; and amazing stunts.
