‘Wonder Woman’ Lynda Carter: This Is My #MeToo Story


In an exclusive interview with Tim Teeman, Lynda Carter, who played the feminist superhero on TV, reveals the sexual harassment she endured, including on the ‘Wonder Woman’ set.

Lynda Carter had been speaking about the positive effects of the #MeToo movement when I asked if she had ever endured sexual abuse and harassment in her career.

“Yes,” the actress most famous for playing the iconic Wonder Woman on TV in the mid- to late 1970s said quietly. Her alleged abuser is presently facing some form of punishment and justice, she revealed. She would not name him, nor divulge the exact nature of what happened. But she told The Daily Beast that she had considered pursuing legal action against him.

“He’s already being done in. There’s no advantage in piling on again,” Carter said as we sat at a table in the St. Regis hotel in New York City. “And,” she said emphatically, “I believe every woman in the Bill Cosby case.”

And President Trump’s accusers?

“I believe them too,” Carter told me. “Why would they lie? I believe the women.”
