It has recently been revealed that Hollywood producer Sebastian Bear-McClard has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women. In 2016, he reportedly sent a 17-year-old girl a direct message to arrange a meeting to discuss her involvement in the Safdie Brothers’ film “Good Time,” which he was producing. The now 24-year-old woman claims that on the day of filming, she was left naked in front of several male crew members, and felt “utterly stunned and terrified.” Additionally, during his marriage to Emily Ratajkowski, Bear-McClard allegedly used his status as a Hollywood filmmaker to target another woman on Instagram. This anonymous woman said that after meeting at the apartment he shared with Ratajkowski, they began kissing and he inserted himself inside her without using a condom. It is unknown whether Ratajkowski was aware of these incidents when she filed for divorce.
Ratajkowski has since spoken out about her experience with Bear-McClard, saying on the “Going Mental with Eileen Kelly” podcast that she had difficulty leaving him and was “really, really unhappy.” Fans are proud of the model-author for taking action to live her best life without Bear-McClard.
