Actor
Alencier Ley Lopez has been accused of trying to sexually harass a woman colleague. The woman herself has spoken against Alencier, saying that during the shoot of the film Abhasam, he used to often speak suggestively to her and make lewd gestures. On more than one occasion he has intruded into her room and sat close to her, asking uncomfortable questions. Finally one day he entered her room when her roommate was not present and lied down beside her. She screamed and her roommate came to her rescue. She complained to the director, who confronted Alencier but during the rest of the shoot, the latter continued to insult and humiliate the woman.
Though there has been outrage against the woman, many had also tried to slander her, after which she came out with a video revealing her identity. "I remained anonymous because you have never extended any support to a woman who has revealed her identity. You also ask why I stay in this field if I have such a problem. I am here because acting is what brings me happiness and I have identified it as my biggest source of joy. You also say people like me sleep with men and then complain. I am making this complaint because I haven't. I would not have gone through this trauma if I had. Many men, and also women stood with me in this.
The reason I am bringing this out is because Alencier boasted to those in another set that he had great fun with the women in the set of Abhasam. I confronted him in that and he apologised to me. I believed him and respected his age and his art. But later I came to know that he has done the same thing to many other women and that his apology meant nothing."
The actor has now responded that these are only half truths.
