When Rebecca Ferguson was promoting Dune 2 a few months back, she gave a more extended interview to a podcast. Ferguson ended up revealing something which made international headlines: that she worked with a top-billed A-lister who was an ?absolute idiot,? a star who screamed at her and belittled her in front of cast and crew. Ferguson described being so upset, she basically went to the director and asked not to even have scenes with this actor. She was very careful in her description, to the point where people weren?t even sure if she was describing a man or a woman. It became a huge blind item and Rebecca?s former costars were all chiming in and screaming ?it?s not me, I?m not the one who treated her like sh-t!? Well, a few days ago, Ferguson appeared on The Jess Cagle Show and she was asked about the whole kerfuffle:
Rebecca Ferguson did not expect her comments about the idiot actor who made her cry on set to go viral. The Dune star said shes received phone calls from former costars for sharing her experience, but also noted that the identity of the unnamed actor who berated her is not important.
What I realized even at the age that I am now is it doesn?t matter, Ferguson said during a recent appearance on SiriusXMs The Jess Cagle Show. I am me. I definitely think I?m much more open. I also know where my boundaries are. But the point of the interview wasn?t about finding the person. Of course, people will be interested. But I was excited about the question, which was a very good question.
Because the point was, she continued, is there a point in your career where you were treated in a way where . . . you want change, or you will not accept it? And it was such a clear moment for me working with this person. But I got phone calls from amazing costars who I?ve worked with going, ?You understand what you?ve done, right??? Ferguson added, ?And I was like, ?Oh my God. No, I didn?t think.? I mean, it?s not my responsibility, to be honest. I don?t really care. You know, you?re great, but my story is my story, and if you?re a good person, then don?t worry about it.
Ferguson revealed on the Reign With Josh Smith podcast earlier this year that an absolute idiot of a costar made her cry and walk off set after they had screamed, You call yourself an actor? This is what I have to work with? She said at the time, Because this person was number one on the call sheet, there was no safety net for me. No one had my back.?
She said it was the first time she spoke up for herself on set, recalling that she told the unnamed costar to get off my set and F off. She wound up acting with the back of the costars head, and her director later backed her up. ?It was great from that moment, but it took so long for me to get to that,? Ferguson said.

Yeah, I think her initial intention was simply to describe a moment in her life/career where she was berated and she stood up for herself and set a professional boundary. In that sense, the story wasn?t about WHO did what, it was about how she reacted. That being said, of course people want to know the person?s identity! Rebecca is well-liked, even beloved by fans and coworkers. It?s sort a Me Too-adjacency thing too, while Rebecca didn?t describe being harassed or physically attacked, she was still treated in an unacceptable and abusive way. People want to know! People especially want to know if the person was Jake Gyllenhaal.
