How to Get Away with Murder star Karla Souza came forward on Tuesday alleging that she experienced sexual harassment and assault early in her career. The actress told CNN en Español that a director raped her while they were filming in her native Mexico. Although Souza didn’t identify her assailant, producer-director Gustavo Loza was terminated from Mexico’s largest television network Televisa a day later, and has asked the actress to clear his name.
The network released a statement Wednesday Feb.21 announcing that Loza was no longer an employee of the company, breaking all ties with the director and canceling all of his projects.
