Jena Malone's shocking revelation

The actress revealed she suffered this from a former co-worker during the film's production process. She didn't reveal if it was a fellow actor, an executive or a staff member. All she said in the comments was that the person responsible for this already wen't through a healing process alongside Jenna and she got the justice she wanted. At no moment does Jena reveal this person's identity, we don't even know if it's a man or a woman. All we know is wht Jena shared on her Instagram account and a few comments she responded.

She writes: "This photo was taken right after I wrapped mocking Jay part two and I had to say goodbye to everyone on set. We were shooting in a beautiful estate in the countryside of France and I asked the driver to let me out in this field so I could cry and capture this moment. Even tho this time in Paris was extremely hard for me. I was going thru a bad break up and also was sexually assaulted by someone I had worked with , I was so full of gratitude for this project, the people I became close with and this amazing part I got to play. A swirling mix of emotions im only now just learning to sort thru. I wish it wasn't tied to such a traumatic event for me but that is the real wildness of life I guess.

"How to hold the chaos with the beauty. I've worked very hard to heal and learn thru restorative justice, how to make peace with the person who violated me and make peace with myself. It's been hard to talk about the Hunger Games and Johanna Mason without feeling the sharpness of this moment in time but I'm ready to move thru it and reclaim the joy and accomplishment I felt. Lots of love to you survivors out there. The process is so slow and non linear. I want to say im here for anyone who needs to talk or vent or open uncommunicated spaces within themselves. Please dm me if you need a safe space to be heard."
