Sarah Silverman Claims Male Doctor 'Dragged His Fingers' Across Her Breast During Exam
Actress-comedian Sarah Silverman shared a story on social media Wednesday in which she claimed a male doctor “dragged his fingers” across her breast during a recent exam.
“I had a shitty time at my mammogram appt today,” Sarah Silverman said in the lengthy Instagram post.
She accused the doctor of talking while her breasts were exposed and touching her chest with his bare hands.
Silverman clarified that she didn’t think the doctor was “getting off” on it, but that he was still being “arrogant” and suggested that he may have a “subconscious power thing.”
“That was my last mammogram with this dude. Or any dude,” the 48-year-old said. “Look. I’m a grown woman and I’m fine. But this guy does this with everyone and I know that personally it took many years into adulthood before I spoke up for myself.”
The School of Rock actress continued, “It’s uncomfortable and too easy to think it’s all in your head. And arrogant fucks like this doctor take advantage of women’s socialized instinct to not speak up.”
“All this to say speak up. Trust that thing in your gut that tells you this shit ain’t right.”
