Actress Gal Gadot has confirmed that Hollywood producer Brett Ratner will not be involved in the Wonder Woman sequel, calling the decision the right thing to do after multiple women have come forward with sexual harassment allegations against him.

Everyone knows the way that I feel because Im not hiding anything, she said Wednesday on NBCs Today show after being asked about an article claiming she had demanded his ouster.

But the truth is, theres so many people involved in making this movie, its not just me, and they all echoed the same sentiments. You know what I mean? she said. Everyone knew what was the right thing to do, but there was nothing for me to actually come and say, cause it was already done before this article came out, you know?

TODAY (@TODAYshow) November 15, 2017

Ratner, who in recent weeks has faced allegations from at least eight women, helped co-produce the Warner Bros. film through his production company, Rat-Pac Dune.

Page Six reported Saturday that Gadot had threatened to abandon the franchise unless Ratner was axed.

Shes tough and stands by her principles. She also knows the best way to hit people like Brett Ratner is in the wallet, a source with Warner Bros. told the publication.
