Ex-assistant says filmmaker Paul Schrader sexually assaulted her and backed out of settlement deal.

Jane Doe alleges Schrader fired her last September after she again rejected his advances.

Schrader 's lawyer, Philip J. Kessler , deemed the lawsuit “desperate, opportunistic and frivolous" The terms, including a monetary payment, were not disclosed.

Schrader wrote Trump ’s election was “a call to violence” and said people should be “willing to take arms” In 2023 , he trashed the Oscars as scrambling "to be woke" with diversity efforts and more international voters.

And in 2021 , in the wake of # MeToo , he decried so-called “cancel culture," telling Deadline it was "so infectious, it's like the Delta virus".
