Says her brother is why she was never sexually assaulted

Madsen said that while minor cases of abuse like butt pinching and being pressured into performing nude in films did occur, no one ever tried to rape or fully sexually assault her, including Harvey Weinstein, who she worked with a few times.

She said she thinks that’s because people in the industry were terrified of her brother Michael. He had a reputation of being a dangerous man and no one wanted to face his wrath if they tried anything.

Whoa, wait a minute... Michael Madsen is her brother? Well that explains a lot.

I mean, I know they both had the last name Madsen, but for some reason I never put two and two together.

He seems like the kind of guy who will calmly tell you, "You touch my sister, and the next time you see me will be the last time you see me."

He also seems like the kind of guy who knows people who knows how to make you disappear.

I never connected those dots, either!
