Theron was asked about portraying the former Fox News host, who accused Roger Ailes of sexually assaulting and harassing her. “I didn’t know how complicated her situation was and I think for a lot of people, they didn’t understand why she didn’t just speak up," says Theron, who stars in the film directed by Jay Roach. "She was in a complicated place and as a human being, I have empathy for that. I don’t think a lot of people truly understood that.” ALSO: NBC News president Noah Oppenheim says "we learned a lesson" from the Megyn Kelly debacle.
