The wide-ranging discussion was to allow the women to tell their own stories in their own words.
“That’s my immediate takeaway. It was like, ‘Oh, this is it. You really let Roger off easily,’ ” Zann said of the film.

“Something I’ve dealt with in the wake of the Roger Ailes downfall is people would say, ‘Did he ever hit on you?’ And I hated how people would ask that question, and I’m sure that we’ve all gotten that,” Zann said. “It’s like, you have no idea what it actually felt like. At least these visual representations go there in showing you that it was much more than, ‘I’d like to take you out to dinner.’”

“My husband @dougbrunt and I recently took our three kids to see the movie ‘Frozen 2.’ As we walked into the theatre, our 6-year-old stopped at this poster promoting another movie hitting the big screen,” Kelly wrote in a post on Instagram. “The ad confused him because it appears to show a picture of me.”
She continued, “But while the movie ‘Bombshell’ is loosely based on my experience during the sexual harassment scandal at Fox News, I have nothing to do with this film. I did not sell the rights to my story or book and only got my first look at the film once it was past the point of any possible edits, though there are certainly some I would have made.”

Despite not being involved in the film’s production, Kelly did say, “Watching this picture was an incredibly emotional experience for me, and for those with whom I saw it.”
“Sexual harassment is pervasive in this country; it can leave scars that do not heal,” Kelly added. “My heart goes out to those who’ve gone through it, who I hope might find some comfort in this story. As for my thoughts about the film, I’ll have more soon.”
