Last November, she was one of six women who came forward to accuse director Brett Ratner of sexual harassment.

And in a new interview with Rogue magazine, actress Olivia Munn says she has no regrets about speaking out publicly.

'Where is the line? If you don’t draw a line in the sand and say, ‘I’m not gonna work with these people,’ then it’s going to continue,' she said.

The 37-year-old star of The Newsroom explained: 'I’m not saying that people can’t come back from their mistakes, but why is it that when certain people mess up, there’s a formula for redemption? They say they’re sorry, hide away for a little bit, come back, work with the very people they hurt, then resume their position in power, when the rest of us have to fall to the back of the line and work our way back up.'

'Women are seen as liars, men as victims. The truth is that it just doesn’t work that way. To come forward is difficult,' Munn added.

Following the expose in the LA Times, Warner Bros. did not renew the Rush Hour producer’s multi-million dollar deal.

Ratner has denied the allegations made against him.

Sharing experiences: 'Women are seen as liars, men as victims. The truth is that it just doesn’t work that way. To come forward is difficult,' Munn, 37, said. She's pictured Saturday in LA

Munn originally spoke about being a victim of sexual misconduct in her book Suck It, Wonder Woman!: The Misadventures of a Hollywood Geek, published in 2010.

She wrote about an incident with an unnamed director in 2004 who had masturbated in front of her on the set of a movie.

'A year later, [Brett] named himself and went on to lie about me. A few days after that, he was on the Howard Stern show publicly apologizing for lying, saying he was sorry. Yet, two years after that moment, he gets a $450 million dollar licensing deal with Warner Brothers,' she recalled.

Munn said the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements have helped reshape the narrative.

'One thing that’s important is that we continue to use social media to support people who speak out and show their outrage at abusers.'
