I’m guilty."

A second woman,Geniusproducer Wendy Riss Gatsiounis, then toldVarietythatthe actor propositioned herduring a meeting in 1991.

It is not reflective of who I am."

Oliver’s exchange with Hoffman became more heated when theLast Week Tonightpersonality addressed his official apology.

“You’ve made one statement in print.

Does that feel like enough to you?”

“First of all, it didn’t happen, the way she reported,” Hoffman said.

I never met her.

If I met her, it was in concert with other people."

“It’s that kind of response to this stuff that pisses me off,” Oliver said.

“Itisreflective of who youwere.

If it happened and you’ve given no evidence to show it didn’t happen.

Then there was a period of time for a while when you were creeping around women.

It feels like a cop-out to say, well, this isn’t me.'

Do you understand how that feels like a dismissal?”

In response, Hoffman replied, “It’s difficult to answer that question.

You weren’t there.”

“I’m glad,” Oliver said.

Hoffman continued, “We were doing this [acting on a set].

“It’s not for me to say.

It feels like dismissals or recontextualizing it is not addressing it.

“Do you believe this stuff that you’re reading?”

“I believe what she wrote, yes,” Oliver replied.

Asked why, Oliver said, “Because there’s no point in her lying.”

“Oh, Dustin.

Christ,” Oliver said.

“This isn’t fun for me,” Oliver noted.

Later on, after audience members reportedly shouted remarks like, “Move on.

The easy way is not to bring anything up.

Unfortunately, that leaves me at home later at night hating myself.

Why the f didn’t I say something?

No one stands up to powerful men.'”

“Am I the powerful man?”

Hoffman asked before questioning why Oliver wouldn’t hear his side.

“Keep a kind of open mind if you could, John.”

“I’m trying,” Oliver said.

“Well, I’m trying harder than you are,” Hoffman said.
