The actress, Lena Drosaki invited to the sofa of “Studio 4” gave a full interview to Nancy Zampetoglou and Thanasis Anagnostopoulos and among other things, she talked about #MeToo, the Filippidi case, the difficulties she experienced in recent years, but also for the performance in which he stars “Atlas of the 2000s” at the Municipal Theater of Piraeus.
“I feel and have made a decision to take a stand on what is happening both in my own life and in society. Somehow there is a shame in coming out and saying that someone didn’t treat you well, so they don’t vilify you. This is because there is no support. It is a society that does not support women who do not have a job and cannot divorce. I think “what kind of society are we?” And it’s like that everywhere. To change something takes too much time and a constant struggle” Lena Drosaki initially reported.
“At first the questioning hurt me so much, I couldn’t bear it, I couldn’t even listen to it. I couldn’t imagine that there would be a person who would say “come on, now do you remember?” , “come on now, you’re lying”. Why; Ok leave me alone, why would a woman lie about that? Is something easy? Of course I have been told to my face that I am lying. I remember I was on vacation in a hotel, I was in a living room and I was playing with my son. It was a gentleman who recognized me and started a discussion against all these women who say they have been abused. He was insulting to women, saying that all women lie about such things, that these women want it, that they provoke it and that they want to eat their wood. He didn’t say these things to me, his company listened to him, not one of the company said anything else. I just took my son – because I didn’t want him to hear such things – and we left”.
“I don’t care if my son knows I’m bold, I care if he is bold. Because in a way, children do what they see. I want to be a good role model for him. Of course, the fact that I’m raising a child worries me, there are things we can say and not understand how bad they can do to a child and I’m afraid not to say them” she mentioned the way she raises her son, while she also talked about an incident in which an unknown man saw her son crying and told him that “men don’t cry”, something she had to face, in order not to go to her son this wrong stereotype. “If you teach him at home that you can cry, sensitivity will also exist in his life. He won’t be the man who says everything happens”.
