The third woman making allegations against Dustin Hoffman, who remains anonymous, had a non-speaking role in Ishtar. She was 22 years old. She said Hoffman offered her a ride after a wrap party in his station wagon. The car began filling up, so the woman offered to find a different ride home. Hoffman suggested they sit in the end of the wagon, so they did, laying down in the back. This is when he allegedly assaulted her, she claims.
“There are people inches from us,” she said. “And he just took his hand and stuck his fingers right up inside of me. I didn’t know what to do. He’s smiling at me. I was frozen. I was outside of my body.”
She later says she was in “a kind of fugue state,” because the alleged assault triggered memories of abuse she suffered as a child. When they arrived at her location, she said Hoffman gave her $20 and told her to go to the San Remo Hotel. When she got there, Hoffman was waiting for her. They went up to his room, where he performed oral sex on her, and then they had sex. When Variety asked if this was consensual, she responded, “I don’t know.”
