Her unexpected remark stunned the actor, who never dared to bother her again.
In the same interview, Sherming also revealed that many of her female friends in the entertainment industry have faced similar experiences.
Her statement highlights the prevalence of harassment in the workplace, particularly in the entertainment world.
