Eliza Dushku controversy
In 2018, actress Eliza Dushku alleged that she was sexually assaulted by stunt coordinator Joel Kramer on the set of True Lies when she was 12. Dushku's agent at the time, JoAnne Colonna, told Deadline Hollywood that she had reported Kramer's inappropriate behavior to Sanchini.
