Cohen wrote: “I wanted to leave when Ed suggested ‘we should all f**k’. But the producer didn’t want to make Ed feel awkward by leaving.
“Ed insisted we stay for dinner. I said I was tired and wanted to leave, trying to get out of what was already an uncomfortable situation. Ed suggested I nap in the guest bedroom.”
She said after her “producer” boyfriend convinced Cohen to take a nap, she woke up to find Wetwick “on top” of her.
She continued: “I fought him off as hard as I could but he grabbed my face in his hands, shaking me, telling me he wanted to f**k me.
“I was paralysed, terrified. I couldn’t speak, I could no longer move. He held me down and raped me. It was a nightmare, and the days following weren’t any better.
“The producer put the blame on me, telling me I was an active participant. Telling me that I can’t say anything because Ed will have people come after me, destroy me, and that I could forget about an acting career. Saying there’s no way I can go around saying Ed ‘raped’ me and that I don’t want to be ‘that girl’.
Cohen said that her decision to go public with the allegation had been an extremely difficult one.
She added: “I hope my coming forward will help others to know that they are not alone, that they are not to blame, and it is not their fault.
“Just as the other women and men coming forward have helped me to realise the same.
