"I have obviously encountered instances of sexual harassment and I never actually publicly named the men involved," Wilson said in her speech, according to the Herald Sun. She went on to explain: "You have this weird feeling, 'Well technically, it wasn't that bad. Is it worth destroying people's lives over?'." She also reportedly opened up about a stalker that police had to "remove" from the courts during her defamation action against Bauer Media, after he arrived carrying flowers intended for the actress. Liam Hemsworth, Rebel Wilson Get Sued for Sharing Paparazzi Photographs on Their Instagram Handles.
