How Carrie Fisher Responded After a Producer Sexually Assaulted Her Friend

Carrie Fisher once sent a cow's tongue to a producer after he sexually assaulted her longtime friend, screenwriter Heather Ross.

Ross revealed during an interview with 94.9 MIXfm on Thursday, October 12, that an unnamed Oscar-winning producer climbed on top of her in a car years ago and allegedly began making unwanted sexual advances. She told the Tucson, Arizona, radio station that she managed to get away as the producer shouted, "You'll never make a movie in my town ... Get the F out of my car!"

The writer later confided in Fisher, who took matters into her own hands. "About two weeks later, she sent me a message online and said, 'I just saw [him] at Sony Studios. I knew he would probably be there, so I went to his office and personally delivered a Tiffany box wrapped with a white bow,'" Ross recalled of the late Star Wars actress, who died at the age of 60 in December 2016 after suffering cardiac arrest.

"I asked her what was inside and she said, 'It was a cow tongue from Jerry's Famous Deli in Westwood with a note that said, 'If you ever touch my darling Heather or any other woman again, the next delivery will be something of yours in a much smaller box!'" Ross explained.

"It felt validating to know ... this woman who I love as a friend was not just a fake Hollywood friend. That's who she was," she continued. "She spoke out and put things out there in your face."
