The actress — who helped kick off the MeToo movement after accusing Harvey Weinstein — tweeted on Monday about the alleged encounter, which she says took place when she was 15. “Alexander Payne.

You left me on a street corner afterwards. I was 15.”
In another tweet, she posted a photo of herself at 15 and wrote, “I just want an acknowledgement and an apology. I do not want to destroy.”
Payne is a two-time Oscar winner for The Descendants and Sideways, and ex-husband of Grey’s Anatomy star Sandra Oh.
