Rob Schneider talked to KIRO Radio’s Dori Monson about sexual harassment in Hollywood, of which he said he was once a victim.
“There’s a reckoning happening and I think it’s about time,” Schneider said.

Schneider particularly expressed annoyance at Matt Damon’s comments relating to Harvey Weinstein. Damon said being a father to daughters made him especially shocked about the allegations against Weinstein.
“You don’t have to have daughters. That’s not what makes you a decent human being,” Schneider said. “If you don’t have daughters, all of a sudden you want to sexually harass people? No. I find that to be such a simplistic, ignorant defense on his part.”
Schneider also discussed his love of Seattle, the city he said launched his career, and his new show “Real Rob.” Listen to the full interview here.
