Richard E Grant criticizes 'household name' for mistreating daughter on set

Actor Richard E Grant speaks out

Richard E Grant has publicly condemned an unnamed 'household name' for their appalling treatment of his daughter on the set of a TV show. The actor, 67, made these bold claims in a recent interview where he called out stars who mistreat staff members on set.

Daughter's mistreatment

Richard's daughter, Olivia, faced mistreatment by famous actors while working as a runner in the TV and film industry. Runners play a crucial role behind the scenes, working directly with talent to fulfill requests, handle transportation, props, and communication on set.

Underappreciated runners

In his interview with Sky News, Richard praised runners as the most underappreciated individuals in the industry. He highlighted their early mornings, long hours, and low pay, emphasizing their importance on set.

Stand against mistreatment

Richard expressed his disappointment with stars who mistreat staff members, especially the younger and less experienced individuals in the industry. He shared how some well-known names in England mistreated his daughter, changing their behavior only upon discovering her connection to him.

Unwavering stance

Despite encountering one of the stars who mistreated Olivia, Richard stated firmly that he has no intention of ever interacting with them again. Olivia has since moved on to a successful career in casting, working on popular shows like Masters of the Air and the Lee Miller movie Lee.
