In November 2017 in response to #MeToo, Riss Gatsiounis was one of seven women to publicly accuse Dustin Hoffman of sexual misconduct. She accused Hoffman of sexually harassing her in 1991 while trying to pitch her play A Darker Purpose to him. After she repeatedly declined his advances, she was informed he was not interested in her play. She told two friends as well as her manager, who said she'd already heard rumors about Hoffman and told Riss Gatsiounis not to blame herself. Riss Gatsiounis said the incident tormented her for "months and months and months" because Hoffman had been her hero and she was worried she may have ruined her career by crossing him, though she later got her play produced and adapted into a movie.[6]
