Delving into further detail, the Pitch Perfect actress felt intimidated as friends of the male college were lurking around with their phones hoping to capture the moment.
She explained it was at that moment that “he pulled down his pants” and the star immediately felt “entrapped in a room”.

Between them they both made an official complaint to the studio.
In spite of the situation, Rebel remained defiant that she wouldn’t let it get her down and decided to carry on with the job.
However, on reflection, the Bridesmaids star feels that in this day and age she probably would have done things differently and would have stepped down.
She added: “But I’m such a professional that I was like, well I’m still going to continue with the job. Which now I might not have.”
Before confessing: “Things that happened to me aren’t that severe, but I’m still scared of naming the people.”
