Former ‘N Sync singer Lance Bass has opened up about being sexually harassed as a teenager in his boy band days.
Discussing Ashley Judd’s comments about being sexually harassed by a studio executive, Bass said on The Merideth Viera Show “it happens to men, too.”
“It’s a two-way street. It happened to me when I was 16 or 17 years old: When we started there was someone that we worked with that was inappropriately touching us,” said the 36-year-old.
“I was even aware then, at 16, that this guy was a pedophile and he was touching me oddly.
“But I didn’t feel victimized at the time because I was very aware of it.”
“With the guys, we would talk about it; we would kind of joke about it. But it’s not a joking thing,” he added. “But as a kid, it was just odd. I’m glad that we were aware of it, and we didn’t feel victimized at the time.”
