Details have emerged from Carrie Fisher’s longtime friend and writer Heather Ross that Fisher once stood up to a harassing Hollywood producer by gifting him a cow tongue.

As the entertainment industry responds to the more than 25 allegations against Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein for multiple counts sexual misconduct, members of the industry have been speaking out against men abusing their power in the film industry.

As such, Heather Ross recently called into a Tucson radio station to join in the discussion. While she had never met Weinstein herself, she shared a story of another Hollywood producer who picked Ross up for what was meant to be a business dinner, but escalated when the producer pushed her against the car seat and held her down.

Ross continued, “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!”.
