I actually believe she was, considering how she acts these days.
But at least the guy says she made him uncomfortable and didn’t act on it.

It's not hard to believe at all. And she can get indignant all she wants. But if I were an adult director, and a 10 year old girl was being what I thought was flirty, even if I wasn't sure she knew what she was doing, I'd be wary as hell.
shareExactly. Think of all the psycho mothers out there telling their kids to do weird things to get roles. That director may have faced that situation before.
Or Thorne, who has a history of doing wild things to draw attention to herself, may just be making this up.
No kidding. This is a story, she's relating second hand, 20 years after the fact. We don't know what was said or how it was characterized. But we do know women have an attention incentive to come out with these stories. She acts like this is evidence of some man wronging her. I don't see it that way at all.
sharePeople want to blame the director but if she was saying or doing something inappropriate that made the director uncomfortable,he did the right thing by not casting her. Ten year olds do have crushes and are capable of flirting. Most adults would feel uncomfortable if a 10 year old said something dirty or suggestive to them. We don't know exactly what she said, but it was sufficient to make the director uncomfortable so people shouldn't be condemning him without knowing the details of what was said or how she acted.
shareNeedless to say, facing accusations of inappropriate flirting when she was still pre-pubescent left Thorne in disbelief. “’What the fuck are you talking about man?’” she recalls thinking. “I don’t give a fuck what the fuck I said. I don’t care if I said ‘eat my pussy right now.’ She is 10 years old! Why ever would you think that? Why? Why?”
