Former co-stars of Jerry Lewis are accusing the late performer of sexual harassment and assault in a new documentary and exposé. In the Vanity Fair chronicle, "The Hunting Ground" and "Allen v. Farrow" directors Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering speak with actresses Karen Sharpe and Hope Holiday who detail their alleged experiences with Lewis, who died in 2017 at age 91.

I don’t know if this is a requirement for your leading ladies, but this is something I don’t do.’ I could see that he was furious. I got the feeling that that never really happened to him." The actress claimed that when she returned to the film set a few days later, Lewis had become standoffish and refused to see her, let alone rehearse lines with Sharpe. He would be seen with her only on camera.
She also alleges that many crew members were instructed not to speak to her. Hope Holiday explained a similar account from her own alleged experience with the late comedian. Holiday claimed it all went down when she was cast in Lewis’ 1961 flick, "The Ladies Man," and she was invited by Lewis to his dressing room.
