Last Tango in Paris, a 1972 Bernardo Bertolucci film, is famed for its explicit sex scenes starring 48-year-old Marlon Brando and 19-year-old French actress Maria Schneider. At the time, it was given an X rating, the equivalent of a modern-day NC-17 — and to this day, its on-screen trysts remain controversial. Both Schneider and Brando, who have since died, later claimed that they felt violated and humiliated by Bertolucci. Here's why.

As Elle reports, a 2013 video of the Italian director, whom younger audiences will recognize from his work on Stealing Beauty and The Dreamers, has surfaced. The video shows Bertolucci admitting that the scene in which Brando's character, Paul, rapes Schneider's Jeanne, using a stick of butter as a lubricant, was planned without the actress' knowledge or consent. According to the director, he and Brando came up with the idea without involving Schneider.

"The sequence of the butter is an idea that I had with Marlon in the morning before shooting," he said during an event at Paris' La Cinémathèque Française. Bertolucci explained that he wanted her "reaction as a girl, not as an actress." In other words, he wanted her to actually experience the rape.

"I wanted her to react humiliated," he continued. "I think she hated me and also Marlon, because we didn't tell her...to obtain something, I think you have to be completely free. I didn't want Maria to act her humiliation, her rage, I wanted her to Maria to feel...the rage and humiliation. Then, she hated me for all of her life."

Though he offered that he felt bad about the decision "in a way," he expressed no regret.

In a 2006 interview, Schneider said she "cried real tears" during the scene. She also claimed that her co-star Brando complained of feeling "raped and manipulated" by Bertolucci, conveniently glossing over his role in Schneider's sexual assault. The actor died in 2004, followed by Schneider in 2011. Bertolucci, meanwhile, is still alive. His latest film, Me and You, was released in 2012.

#FitnessFriday current mood. @donsaladino gives me reason to hide!....

A photo posted by Blake Lively (@blakelively) on Dec 2, 2016 at 2:13pm PST

Here's an idea for a sequel to The Shallows: Blake Lively is once again hiding from a terrifying predator who will rack her body with pain. This time, it's not a bloodthirsty shark. It's a personal trainer with visions of burpees and side planks dancing in his head. Run, girl!

If you photoshop in a seagull and a rash guard, Lively's latest Instagram looks like it came straight from a film set. The actress, who recently gave birth to her and Ryan Reynolds' second daughter, is playfully hiding under some gym equipment. Meanwhile, her personal trainer, Don Saladino, lurks menacingly next to her.

"#FitnessFriday current mood," she captioned the pic. "@donsaladino gives me [a] reason to hide!"

We know that feeling. Fortunately, we aren't expected to bounce back from childbirth straight into a bikini or designer gown. Unfortunately, we also don't get to have Reynolds work out those aching muscles when we get home from the gym.

This picture has been following me around for some years, and well, there are many people I want to thank for it: Firstly, the person who dedicated a lot of time and hard work training and sculpting their body to within an inch of its life. Seriously, well done! Secondly, the person who dedicated a lot of time and effort into resizing and reshaping my face so it fits on that body. I can only assume it's no easy feat, so congratulations must go to you too - for making this look even remotely realistic. And lastly, to everyone who actually believed (if even for a second) that this could be me. Wow. Bless you. Like, really, really thank you. I'm flattered. But it isn't me. It never was me. Don't get me wrong, I have worked out before, and I really like it when I do, but to THIS extent? Not something I've done yet. Maybe one day, eh? Right now, I'm enjoying my work, and being a Dad for the first time, and it's getting way too close to Christmas for me to spend any free time I DO have in the gym. But bless you. #dadbod #imhappyasme #imhappyasmeandyoushouldbetoo #merrychristmas #photoshopphonies

Sam Claflin wants us to know that he does not have the "perfect" body. On Friday, the Me Before You star confessed in a funny Instagram post that a widely circulated photo of him actually features the torso of a different person.

In the caption, he addressed three groups of people. "Firstly, the person who dedicated a lot of time and hard work training and sculpting their body to within an inch of its life. Seriously, well done!" he wrote.

"Secondly, the person who dedicated a lot of time and effort into resizing and reshaping my face so it fits on that body. I can only assume it's no easy feat, so congratulations must go to you, too — for making this look even remotely realistic," he continued. "To everyone who actually believed (even for a second) that this could be me. Wow. Bless you. Like, really, really thank you. I'm flattered. But it isn't me."

Photos of celebrities can give men and women alike the idea that the bodies our society idealizes are more common than they are. But Photoshop can drastically alter the shape of someone's body, as well as the appearance of their face.

Alterations as drastic as virtually transplanting a head on a different body aren't uncommon in the world of photo retouching. "There's a lot of the switching bodies up," an anonymous Victoria's Secret photo editor told Refinery29 earlier this year. Someone might ask her, for example, "Can you change these arms with a different girl's arms?"

Even without editing, something as small as the position someone stands in can make them look like a different person.

In reality, the perfect body simply does not exist, nor is it something to aspire to.

As for Claflin, he has different priorities. "Right now, I'm enjoying my work and being a dad for the first time, and it's getting way too close to Christmas for me to spend any free time I DO have in the gym," he wrote.

Props to him for reminding everyone you don't have to look like a fitness model in real life or in photos to deserve to be seen, loved, and accepted.

The U.S. has seen an alarming rise in hate over the past month, with the Southern Poverty Law Center documenting 701 cases of harassment between November 9 and 18. LGBT people are among the many populations left vulnerable.

Washington state resident Lexi Magnusson saw this discrimination firsthand when her neighbor knocked on her door and told her why she moved to their town outside Seattle. She made that decision, she said, after finding out her kids' old school allowed same-sex couples at the prom and taught students to accept transgender people. She felt this went against her Mormon values.

At first, Magnusson didn't know how to react. "I walked inside [my house] and rage-ate a bowl of nachos," she told The Huffington Post. Then, she did something that made a bigger statement. She bought 10,000 Christmas lights of all different colors and arranged them in a rainbow on the bushes outside her house.

"Our new neighbors are bigots. Since regular aggression leads to assault charges, I went with passive aggression. 10,000 lights later," she captioned a photo of the decorations on Reddit.

She told The Huffington Post that the process of decorating her lawn was "cathartic" for her, but took on a greater meaning when a gay cousin who likes Christmas decorations gave it his backing. "His approval was everything," she said. "I wanted the rainbow to stand out so there was no question as to what it is."

And now there isn't any question of where Mangusson stands on homophobia. Her display not only glows brilliantly, but also sends an important message of love on the holidays.

Though Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are, by all appearances, still very much together, the couple is reportedly living apart as he receives outpatient treatment following his recent hospitalization.

Sources have told Us Weekly and People that the rapper, who left UCLA Medical Center on November 30, is currently living in a rental house. Kardashian and their two children, North and Saint, are not living with West. As People notes, the family owns a lavish Bel Air mansion, but also frequently stays at Kris Jenner's Calabasas, CA, home.

“Kanye isn’t at home with Kim and the kids,” one insider told People. “He is, instead, receiving outpatient care elsewhere with a medical team. Kim still seems concerned, but is supportive. They don’t know for how long Kanye will need outpatient care.”

"Kim is being very protective and doesn't want Kanye around the kids right now," claimed another source to Us Weekly.

West was hospitalized for exhaustion after abruptly canceling his Saint Pablo tour, ultimately spending nine days at the UCLA's Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital. Kardashian's October robbery in Paris put additional strain on the couple, though sources say they are making their marriage a priority during this difficult time.

“There are frustrations and problems, like any relationship, but they love each other deeply," a source told People.

Ryan Seacrest, an executive producer on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, echoed that sentiment in an interview with People on Friday.

"I’ve spoken to Kim," Seacrest shared. "I’ve not spoken to Kanye, but I think that things are going better now."

Blake Lively Hides From Her Personal Trainer, Too

That Time Jennifer Lawrence Took Down A Massive Boulder By Scratching Her Bum

The final four words of Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life left us with more questions than answers. Specifically, the question of who the father of Rory's baby is. But it seems there is one person who definitely knows the paternity of the child: Matt Czuchry.

In an interview with The Huffington Post, the actor who plays Logan Huntzberger said the last four words actually describe creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and her husband, Dan's, baby. "It is their story. I’m very protective over those four words," Czuchry said. "They did tell me who is the father of that baby."

Of course, Czuchry doesn't feel it's his place to share that information with anyone. Czuchry previously said he doesn't think the four final words mean another season, but he told HuffPo if the Palladinos ever want to share the identity of Rory's baby daddy, it would be in the future.

"I think the purpose is...to fast-forward and see what kind of mother would Rory be, what kind of grandmother would Lorelai be [and], in terms of whoever the father is, would they be in that person’s life," he said. "Would it be different from Christopher or would it mirror that completely? Those stories aren’t told yet.”

That being said, he thinks fans should definitely have fun coming up with their own theories. Of course, no one needed permission to start wondering who the father is. Naturally, Logan seems like the logical choice, since we know he and Rory were together. And come on, Logan is so clearly Rory's Christopher, which would bring everything full circle.

Not to mention, Czuchry being the only one who knows gives a hint that there's a reason he needs to know.

In a recent interview with Vulture, Dan Palladino gave credence to the "Logan is the father" theory by saying, "I think people's hunches are probably not going to be too far off." Let's call it a hunch then that Huntzberger is going to be a daddy.

But there are those who are going with #TeamJess on this one. Bustle did some investigating and came up with a Mamma Mia! theory that definitely gives some legs to that school of thought. And it's not just because Stars Hollow: The Musical includes an ABBA-scored sequence.

In the musical (and movie) Mamma Mia!, a woman has a child, but doesn't know which of the three men she was seeing is the father. Why, what do you know, Rory was dating Paul (kind of), seeing Logan, and Jess was in town. The timeline checks out for the possibility that when Jess arrived in Stars Hollow that summer, the two could have hooked up. (She did sleep with a Wookiee.) It also could explain that final exchange between Jess and Rory in "Fall." You know, the one where he's just spying on her through the window, totally not pining.

If you're not interested in theories, but want some cold, hard answers, Lauren Graham may be the real key to all this. In a recent interview with TVLine, Graham said she believes the Gilmore girls have more stories to tell, even if she feels like Lorelai is in a good place.

“I can see more for Kelly [Bishop] and Alexis [Bledel] — I can see where that story would go for their characters,” she explained. “I can’t see what would be next for [Lorelai], but I imagine Amy can.”

Where Sherman-Palladino goes, Graham and the rest of the cast is sure to follow, which means one day — maybe not soon — someone besides Czuchry could know who the father of Rory's baby is.

Taylor Swift Now Is Here & It's A Lot Of Taylor

I'm about to say something that might make the Beyhive swarm me, but here goes: Solange is, by far, the cooler Knowles sister in my book. Beyoncé is an icon, plain and simple, but Solange is the friend I'd let have the final say in everything, from makeup and styling to music and art.

I (and everyone I know) fell for A Seat At the Table, her latest album that dropped in September, almost immediately. In celebration of this release, and the many appearances she is making to promote it, we're taking a look back at her beauty evolution. Because, after all, the same words that describe her music work for her looks as well: polished, innovative, and downright cool.

As you'll see in the slides ahead, her teens and early 20s were a parade of trendy looks, but then she broke away from the crowd by transitioning her hair to its natural texture, embracing a monochromatic signature look, and distinguishing herself from her older sister with edgy style that's all her own.

Click through the slideshow for proof that Solange is the queen of the cool girls.

From his Access Hollywood tape to his comments about Mexican immigrants, Trump has left many concerned about how his administration will treat women, racial minorities, LGBT people, and other marginalized groups. To make sure these concerns stay front and center, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) has launched a project to keep track of hateful comments.

The Trump Accountability Project lists all things Trump, Mike Pence, and other members of the Trump administration have said that could potentially further discrimination. They're organized by group, so that you can see what each person has stated about LGBT people, women, and certain races, religions, and nationalities, as well as other hot-button issues, like climate change.

By visiting the page, Americans can gain a broader understanding of what the people representing them think and journalists can accurately report on the positions politicians have taken on various topics.

It teaches us, for example, that Trump has advocated jailing people or denying them citizenship for burning flags and that Pence has called for a ban on LGBT people in the military.

Sarah Kate Ellis, GLAAD's president and CEO, told Newsweek that the page aims to aggregate opinions coming from all different platforms, so that people can see the big picture.

"We have an LGBTQ community, among other communities, that feel that we are living in a new America," she said. "We have had quite a bit of progress over the past years and there are concerns that some of the progress is going to be rolled back."

The initiative was inspired by GLAAD's Commentator Accountability Project (CAP), which does the same thing with anti-LGBT activists in order to combat misinformation spread in the media.

While the CAP specifically addressed the LGBT community, "the Trump Accountability Project includes the falsehoods, distortions, and outright lies Trump and his team have spread about all the marginalized communities living in this increasingly uncertain America," Ellis wrote for NBC News. "Because none of us today live in just one identity; rather, we live at the intersection of a multitude of identities. LGBTQ people are people of color, we are immigrants, we are people of diverse faiths and abilities — and we will all be affected by Trump's actions."

We'll Miss Michelle Obama Terribly — Here Are 20 Reasons Why

Our house is your house. Season 2 #premieres worldwide December 9 @netflix #cutitout

A video posted by Dave Coulier (@dcoulier) on Dec 3, 2016 at 8:03am PST

Everywhere you look on Instagram, the Fuller House cast is getting nostalgic at the real Full House house.

The cast of the Netflix series paid a visit to the San Francisco three-bedroom Victorian that the Tanners called home, but is now owned by Full House creator Jeff Franklin.

According to The Los Angeles Times, Franklin purchased the house that appeared in the show's opening credits after it went on the market in May and even repainted the front door back to red in honor of the show.

The show's original stars (minus John Stamos, Lori Loughlin, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) were there to put their mark on the house, quite literally, leaving their cement handprints to be displayed in the backyard.

Dave Coulier (Uncle Joey) posted a clip of what the scene looked like outside the house. Safe to say, fans were happy to see the Tanners back in town and the cast couldn't have been happier to see them.

"Our house is your house," he wrote.

Bob Saget shared a photo and a joke: "One last view of us leaving our handprints in cement at the Full and @FullerHouse house," he wrote. "Dave had to be pried off after about an hour."

That was after posting a photo of him putting his own PG-13 spin on the Full House theme song.

"Everywhere you look there's a hand to hold onto..." Saget wrote alongside a photo of him grabbing Coulier's rear end.

Candace Cameron-Bure posted a photo of the ceremony with her TV family and sent a special thank you to Franklin.

"My Fuller House family all thanks to the man on the right Jeff Franklin for creating our shows," she wrote with a photo of her, Franklin, Barber, and her on-screen little sister, Jodie Sweetin.

"Yup, this really did happen," she wrote, cueing her own "aww."

Taylor Swift Now Is Here & It's A Lot Of Taylor

It's impossible to have too much of a good thing, at least when that thing is glitter. That's why we're mesmerized by this video shared by Teen Vogue, where makeup artist Katie Butt coats the entire surface area of her face and neck in fabulously sparkly colors.

She applies glitzy bronzer, lipstick, eyeshadow, and blush until she shines like a golden statue — even her eyebrows glisten.

If you dare to replicate the look, the Instagram caption lists everything she used, including glitter from Glittertubes and Glitter Injections, as well as brushes from My Brush Set.

Another option is to get a set like the new Pat McGrath Metalmorphosis 005 kit, which includes cream and metallic pigments you can use all over your face. You can also create glittery eyes by outlining the places you want to sparkle with white eyeliner, going over the lines with eyelash glue, then dabbing glitter on them. As for the lips, you'll want to apply lip balm and a lip pencil first, then put on the glitter with a tissue under your mouth and gently blow out to remove stray sparkles.

We'd imagine it's not exactly comfortable to have so much stuff on your face, but it's definitely one way to stand out.

GLITTER FACE Hi guys I hope everyone's Monday isn't too bad! I thought I would do this for a bit of fun, I don't know who/if this has been done before but I haven't seen any full face glitter videos to give credit to. Hope you guys like it :) .

PSA: This Sold-Out, Cult-Favorite Concealer Is Staging A Comeback

Update, 3:15 p.m.: A spokesperson for American Airlines tells Refinery29 that three lab tests on the uniforms have declared them to be "garment-safe." The third and most recent test analyzed more than 100 pieces of worn and unworn garments as well as boxes and packaging materials.

Airline spokesperson LaKesha Brown added that American Airlines is working on an individual basis with employees, offering them dermatological testing and providing alternatives to the new "wool-rich" uniform, including the option to wear old uniforms or purchase other garments.

Brown added that more than 70,000 American Airlines employees, including pilots and other crew members, have received the new uniforms. At this time, only the APFA has called for a recall.

Next week, the airline and APFA will visit the manufacturer's warehouse to jointly select more uniforms for testing.

This article was originally published on December 3 at 2:15 p.m. EST.

CNN reports that American Airlines flight attendants are claiming that the airline's new uniforms are responsible for a slew of health problems. On Friday, the Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA) issued a statement demanding that the uniforms be recalled.

"We feel a remedy that excludes a full recall of the uniform fails to adequately protect our members," the union, which represents 26,000 American flight attendants, stated.

Since they were introduced in September, the uniforms have been blamed for more than 1,600 adverse health reactions. Cabin crew has complained of headaches, rashes, burning skin, eye irritation, and respiratory problems.

The airline is continuing to test the uniforms, but isn't ready to issue a recall yet. Instead, the Dallas-based company has offered dermatological testing to pinpoint the cause of the reactions. Employees may also request alternative fabrics, though the union claims that the manufacturing, not the materials, may be at fault, which would render that option moot.

"We know some people are having reactions and we're looking into why," a spokesperson for American Airlines told CNN. "We have no doubt the uniforms are safe."

This Suitcase Transforms Into A Dresser Right Before Your Eyes

An Arab-American comedian got more than he bargained for when he boarded his flight to Glasgow, Scotland, this week. His seat mate was none other than Eric Trump, younger son of President-elect Donald Trump.

Mo Amer posted a selfie with Trump, telling his Instagram followers that he took the opportunity to pepper him with questions about his father's attitude towards Muslim citizens.

"Hey guys heading to Scotland to start the U.K. Tour and I am 'randomly' chosen to sit next to none other than Eric Trump," Amer captioned the photo. "Good news, guys; Muslims will not have to check in and get IDs. That's what I was told. I will be asking him a lot of questions on this trip to Glasgow, Scotland. Sometimes God just sends you the material."

Sometimes God just sends you the material. #Merica #UKTour #HumanAppeal #ThisisNotAnEndorsement #Trump2016ComedyTour

A photo posted by Mohammed "Mo" Amer (@realmoamer) on Nov 30, 2016 at 4:51pm PST

In an interview with BuzzFeed, Amer admitted to being dumbstruck when he saw Trump. The two men were seated in business class on the flight from Newark, NJ, to Glasgow.

“I was just walking in and he was just sitting there with his Trump shirt on and I was like, Is this real? ” he recalled. “ Is this real? Is this a setup? I mean, I’m an Arab-Palestinian, everything is a conspiracy, right? So when I walked into the plane I was like, What is this? This is obviously from Allah — Allah is just trying to hook me up right now. That’s what’s happening."

Amer wasted no time in calling out a rumored Trump policy that would call on Muslims to join a registry. According to him, Trump dismissed the idea.

"Ah, come on, man," Trump allegedly responded. "You can’t believe everything you read. Do you really think we’re gonna do that?”

Amer also claims that Trump branded Hillary Clinton as "crooked and so unlikeable" and admitted that his father "played this thing like a mad genius and that's how he got elected."

Though it sounds as though Amer and our future first son had a fruitful discussion, the interaction still left Amer cold. Amer wrote that Trump seemed "disconnected from the reality of race attacks and violence" and speculated that he had no regrets about his father's campaign.

This post was originally published on July 28th, 2016.

The business-casual dress code is one of the most difficult to define, and that might have something to do with the fact that it's a complete oxymoron — seriously, how can one be "business" and "casual," at the same time? Plus, it depends on where you work or where you're going. For some, the look may veer more toward the uber-professional. For others, a more laid-back, less dressed up aesthetic is the norm. Either way, you've likely found yourself in front of your closet at one point or another with a giant question mark hovering over your head.

To navigate the business casual world, we've decided our definition includes looking polished, while still leaving a little wiggle room for fun via subtle ruffles, prints, and unexpected cuts. As long as your outfit adheres to your office dress code, there's no reason to not get creative. That's why we're supplying you with the essentials that will get your workwear wardrobe on track. With a collection like this, that question mark is about to disappear.

Saturday Night Live returned from its Thanksgiving break with none other than America's sweetheart, Emma Stone, and teen dream Shawn Mendes.

Overall, the episode was fairly strong. The best sketches of the night didn't hinge on one person or theme, but touched on a little bit of everything happening in pop culture. The real breakout moments were Jennifer Aniston's cameo, Emma Stone's "Christmas Candle" song, and Alec Baldwin's Twitter-obsessed Trump.

Perhaps the most noteworthy moment from last night's episode didn't happen on-air, but rather on Twitter, when President-elect Trump responded to the show's sketch in real time. He tweeted, "Just tried watching Saturday Night Live — unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can't get any worse. Sad."

We thought it was pretty damn funny — but, please, click ahead and decide for yourself.

Maybe it's mascara or lip balm — perhaps body wash or shampoo. Me? I will never understand the woman who buys fancy base and topcoats. (Even the ones that claim to give a "gel effect" have never made my manicure last any longer than the cheap, diluted stuff at my corner nail place.) A shiny sealant is a shiny sealant.

Unless, I found out, it's Chanel. And black. Then, it's a whole lot more. See, this new topcoat (out in January) lets you cut your nail polish collection in half without feeling any loss, which is great news for those who want to live like Marie Kondo in the new year, but also try to claim that every last Q-tip, hole-y sock, and dried-up polish sparks some sort of joy. But how? Because a coat of it over the brightest colors instantly turns them dark and moody.

Just see below: Bare nails turn to gray; hot pink to plum; navy to black; cherry-red to ruby-red; and white to, well, I'm not sure...that one wasn't great.

Every year, editors write — and you read — stories about how to change up your beauty routine for the season. Add in more hyaluronic acid! You need a weekly hair mask! Get these must-have shades from the runway! All that stuff adds up fast. But consider this a way to save a lot more money in the new year: Drop $28 on a black topcoat now (while ignoring the haters — formerly me — who say a $28 topcoat is insanity); then, delight in how it transforms all the summery shades you already own into the trendy winter ones your friends are running out to buy.

I have two bottles of Woolite Black detergent in my closet, both purchased with good intentions after I came across two great-fitting pairs of inky-black jeans. I bought the first bottle after I found a pair of Madewell jeans in a black so black that they made my legs look almost 2-D, like they were stamped into space. The second bottle came about because I forgot I already owned the first, after I came across a pair of cropped Cheap Mondays that came in a black so black that they made anything around them super-colorful in comparison.

I'm telling you this story, because, obviously, I never used either of those Woolite Blacks and both pairs of jeans are now more heather-gray than black. They're more George Clooney than Dita Von Teese — and, it turns out, I'm sort of digging them this way. Black jeans that aren't so black means you've had to launder them a dozen times or more, which means a dozen cycles' worth of escapades and romps. My black jeans are no longer new nor black and I'm much less precious about them, too (in the graph of blackness of jean and amount of adventure-having, there's a positive exponential association).

I'm sure you can buy off-the-rack "black" jeans with this sort of patina, but I'm willing to bet that most of the jeans ahead are the product of some good wear and tear. Take a look at how other women have embraced their not-so-black blacks and what they wore them with.

How To Do Boho Without Looking Like A Coachella Victim

Over the weekend, an old video surfaced of Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci admitting that the infamous rape scene in Last Tango In Paris was planned without the consent of actress Maria Schneider. It's left celebrities, like many other people, appalled and enraged — with several taking to Twitter to voice their disgust.

Chris Evans tweeted, "Wow. I will never look at this film, Bertolucci or Brando the same way again. This is beyond disgusting. I feel rage."

Anna Kendrick responded to Evans, pointing out that actress Maria Schneider had said the scene was done without her consent, but her allegations were largely ignored.

Kendrick said in a tweet, "Ms Schneider stated this several years ago. I used to get eye-rolls when I brought it up to people (aka dudes)."

Evans replied that he "had no idea. Woulda felt rage then too." He added that Bertolucci and Brando, "should be in jail."

Kendrick responded again, saying that she was not surprised that most people didn't know about Bertolucci and Brando's behavior, since "it wasn't treated like a big story then (shocker)." She added, "Glad at least it will be taken seriously now."

Kendrick is right: This wasn't the first time these allegations against Bertolucci and Brando have come to light. It's awful that she had to point it out, since Schneider herself had previously — and repeatedly — said it wasn't consensual.

In a 2006 interview, Schneider said she "cried real tears" during the rape scene in Last Tango In Paris. She also claimed that it was not in the script, but rather the idea of Marlon Brando. Schneider said,"When they told me, I had a burst of anger. Woo! I threw everything. And nobody can force someone to do something not in the script. But I didn't know that. I was too young."

She added in that interview that "[Bertolucci] was manipulating everyone on set." Schneider passed away in 2011. Brando died in 2004, but Bertolucci is still alive and made a movie as recently as 2012.

Sadly, it's unsurprising that any allegations made by Schneider were ignored, given the fact that perpetrators of sexual assault or violence are rarely punished for their crimes. In the U.S. alone, an estimated 994 out of every 1,000 rapes results in perpetrators walking free — without any punishment — according to statistics by RAINN, based on data from the Department of Justice.

And despite the fact that Schneider tried to come forward about what happened to her years later, the truth is that people largely ignored her claims. It wasn't until Bertolucci admitted it — on camera — that people started paying attention.

"To all the people that love this film — you're watching a 19yr old get raped by a 48yr old man," tweeted Jessica Chastain. "The director planned her attack. I feel sick."

She was retweeted by actress Evan Rachel Wood, who recently revealed that she is a sexual assault survivor. Wood added, "I second that. This is heartbreaking and outrageous. The 2 of them are very sick individuals to think that was ok."

Director Ava Duvernay called Bertolucci and Brando's behavior "inexcusable." She added, "As a director, I can barely fathom this. As a woman, I am horrified, disgusted and enraged by it."

There Was A Glee Wedding Reunion & It Was Adorable

I usually go to the gym in the morning, which means that I roll out of bed, toss on some leggings and a sports bra, throw my hair into a ponytail, and drag myself out the door without a drop of makeup on my face. I feel fine about it — until I catch a glimpse of my red, sweaty face in the mirror, or, fine, of that David Beckham look-alike lifting in the corner. Then, I wish I had a little mascara on.

So when I found out that Tarte was launching a line of "athleisure makeup," I was all about it. The line, which includes products like lightweight foundations with SPF and a blotting paper-powder combo, is meant to take you from barre to the bar. But the item that tickled my fancy the most was its new Lifted mascara. The formula is completely sweat-proof — in fact, the team over at Tarte tested it in actual sweat chambers to make sure it lives up to its name.

But I don't throw my weight behind a product until I've tested that sucker myself. So I put this mascara through the paces with a series of workouts: boxing, Zumba, Kangoo cardio, yoga, and good ol'-fashioned weight-lifting.

Before the first class, I went through my regular skin-care routine and then put on just the mascara. I was pleasantly surprised by the way this stuff applied. It isn't pure black, but more of a black-brown shade to look more natural, less Workout Barbie, and it really defines and separates each lash while leaving them flexible. It's kind of everything I've ever wanted in an everyday mascara. I was won over before the sweat session had even begun.

Boxing

The first class was one I had never tried, but always wanted to: boxing. After a quick warm-up, I strapped on my gloves and started beating on some punching bags. Aside from getting out some major aggression, I sweat my ass off. By the end of the class, I was pink in the face, but my mascara had stayed put. And when I washed my face at night, the mascara came off seamlessly — which is rare when it comes to budge-proof formulations.

Kangoo Cardio

What is this, you ask? Oh, just a class that involves going for a jog with some trampolines strapped to your feet. I'm not kidding — the instructor hands out specialty boots with springs so your jog works out your butt. It was actually the only time I've ever enjoyed a run. But just because I felt like a kid again doesn't mean I didn't sweat — it's still cardio. Still, even with all the jumping, the mascara didn't budge.

Yoga

After beating the hell out of my punching bag and hopping through a jog, I figured it was time to get in touch with my center. So I took a vinyasa yoga class, which is my favorite type of yoga. But I have this one issue with my flow: Once I start to get my heart rate up, tiny beads of sweat roll into my eyes during upright poses, causing my mascara to run, Lauren Conrad-style. But that didn't happen with the Lifted mascara. It stayed put — even when I accidentally rubbed my eye in downward-facing dog.

Zumba

Let me be frank: I hate Zumba. Nothing makes me sweat like a beast while feeling like a suburban mom more than shaking my ass to some souped-up reggaeton music. I have no rhythm. I'm all elbows. So while I felt like a total idiot by the end of this class, I looked fabulous. I noticed for the first time that not only did the mascara stay put pigment-wise, but it also helped my lashes maintain their curl. This was bonkers to me, because the formula is so lightweight.

Weight-Lifting

I finished the week with my usual workout: 30 minutes on the stationary bike followed by 40 minutes of weights and 10 minutes of stretching. I have to say — I felt a little better about myself looking in the mirror during my weight reps. The mascara helped me look less tired at 6:30 a.m., and it stayed put throughout my entire workout. When I go to the gym after work and am still wearing my makeup from the day, I usually wind up with raccoon eyes by the end of my workout. I saw none of that this time.

Does anyone need makeup at the gym? Absolutely not — this is all about personal preference. But here's how I look at it: I'm already in an environment that sometimes makes me feel not-so-great about myself. So if popping on a mascara that I know will stay put helps me feel a little more confident while I'm lifting heavy objects over my head, then I'm all for it.
