Hollywood actress Florence Pugh expressed outrage upon learning of allegations that seven male students from a social club at Cornell University in the United States committed sexual assault.

On the 27th (local time), Pugh posted on her social media: "I have learned about the recent sexual assault incident at Cornell University, and I feel anxious, disgusted, and deeply unsettled."

She added, "I am quietly observing everyone, especially all men, and gathering my thoughts. At this very moment, men must also be filled with fear and anger as we were, and they must stand together to change this situation," raising her voice in condemnation.

Continuing, she said, "What hurt me the most is that this act stems from a desire to destroy a soul. It is an act of destroying and killing both body and spirit. I cannot accept that perpetrators are released and face no consequences beyond writing a brief apology letter," expressing her intense anger.

Pugh also criticized the university's response: "I am furious that the school protects the perpetrators. What kind of life must the victim endure from now on? Equality exists only when our souls are no longer harmed. We hope you will protect us now," voicing strong criticism.

She emphasized, "This is not just a women’s issue but a problem for all humanity. All of us, especially men, must pay attention to this issue and take responsibility."

Meanwhile, the incident came to light after a woman in her 20s filed a lawsuit with Manhattan Supreme Court. The complaint reportedly states that seven male students from a social club at Cornell University administered drugs to the victim in 2024, rendering her unconscious before committing sexual assault.

As the controversy spread, Cornell University issued an official statement signed by Kyle Kimball, Senior Vice President for External Relations, stating, "We take the extremely shocking sexual assault allegations very seriously," while cautiously adding, "Due to privacy concerns, we cannot disclose specific disciplinary actions against individual students."

Meanwhile, Florence Pugh is currently starring as Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She has also appeared in films such as 'We Live in Time', 'Dune: Part Two', 'Oppenheimer', 'Don't Worry Darling', 'The Wonder', and 'Little Women'.
