During an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, when Keira Knightley asked whether she has ever faced s*xual harassment, the Pirates of the Caribbean actress opened up, “Yes! I mean, everybody has. Literally, I don’t know anyone who hasn’t been, in some way, whether it’s being flashed at, or groped, or some guy saying they’re going to slit your throat, or punching you in the face, or whatever it is, everybody has.”
Going further in the conversation, Keira Knightley shared how women now walk back home with precautions to keep themselves safe from any attack.

It’s f*cking depressing.”
Back in 2020, Keira Knightley had added a no n*dity clause in her contract. Once in a conversation, the actress mentioned, “It’s partly vanity (but) partly also it’s the male gaze. I feel like if I was making a story that was about that journey of motherhood, that journey of the body (acceptance), I feel like I’m sorry, but that would have to be with a female filmmaker. I don’t have an absolute ban, but I kind of do with men.”
