As Hollywood continues to grapple with sexual harassment allegations   Melissa Gilbert  says an audition with Oliver Stone left  her  in tears.
A guest on SiriusXM's Andy Cohen Live Monday   Gilbert  described an encounter  she  had with the filmmaker who has directed Snowden  W. and JFK.
 Gilbert   who played Laura Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie in the '70s and '80s  said while auditioning for the role of Pamela Courson for the 1991 film The Doors  Stone intentionally demeaned her.
At first   Gilbert  hesitated to name Stone  telling Cohen  "There were moments where there were men in more powerful positions  one in particular  who humiliated me at one point in an audition  and unnecessarily  because I had embarrassed him in a social situation. He got back at me  and I ran out of the room crying. I’m actually sitting here telling you this story afraid to say his name 'cause I’m worried about backlash."
Cohen followed up  asking if the director had humiliated  Gilbert  "in a provocative way."
"He had me read a scene "  Gilbert  said. "I had auditioned  and then he said: ‘I’ve written this special scene for  you . I’d like you to do it with the actor. I want to see the chemistry with the two of you.’
"The whole scene was just my character on her hands and knees saying  ‘Do me  baby.’ Really dirty  horrible "  Gilbert  said. "Then  he  said  'I'd like you to stage it for  me .'”
 Gilbert  said  she  refused and exited the audition very upset.
“I left crying  and I never really talked about it "  she  told Cohen. "It was all because I had said something and embarrassed him publicly."
Deciding to reveal  her  alleged harasser   Gilbert  said  "It was Oliver Stone. And it was The Doors movie."
 Gilbert  told Cohen  she  believes the alleged act was in retaliation to an interaction  she  and Stone had at a club where the director was   she  says  "ragging on television."
"There was a bunch of people at a table  and  he  was talking about how television was crap and  he  would never do it ” said  Gilbert . “Then  all these young girls came running over to meet me because they were watching Little House on the Prairie. And they left  and  he  was sort of dumbfounded  and I said  ‘You see  (expletive)  that’s television. That’s what television does.’ I guess  he  never forgot it.”
 Gilbert  said while  she  remembered their moment   she  didn't believe "it was that big a deal.”
“I thought I was just auditioning  and I did. I did a bunch of other scenes "  she  said. "And  he  said:  ‘ You know  I want you to stay. I’ve got something special for you.’"
