Her note read, “When #MeToo movement started a lot of people spoke about Sajid Khan but I did not dare to because like every other actor who has no god father and had to earn for family I kept quiet. Now I don’t have my parents with me I’m earning for myself I can dare to tell that I have been harassed by Sajid Khan at the age of 17. He spoke dirty to me he tried to touch me he even told me to strip in front of him just to get a role in his upcoming Housefull movie.”

But the wrong I did was not to speak about it!”

In the footage, Swift cries in her dressing room as her mother, Andrea, tries to comfort her. Already dressed for the show, she then prepares to perform a three-and-a-half-hour set at London’s Wembley Stadium. Speaking later at the New York premiere of her six-part Disney+ documentary, she says she felt a duty to create “some form of escape” for fans following the tragedy.
