She is only 20 years old, but she has already experienced toxic masculinity. Actress Harriet Herbig-Matten talks about her experiences “with men like that.”
Actress Harriet Herbig-Matten (“Bibi and Tina”) had some experiences with toxic masculinity in her early 20s. “I have often come into contact with such men in my private life,” the Munich native told the German Press Agency. Toxic masculine usually refers to behavior patterns that are characterized by dominance and sometimes violence towards women.
In the new Amazon series “Maxton Hall”, Herbig-Matten plays private school student Ruby, who is harassed by her extremely rich classmate James (Damian Hardung) – and yet falls in love with him. “There were a lot of scenes in the series where James exerts power over Ruby. The feeling that I felt stayed with me long after we finished filming. It was difficult to get rid of that.”
The six-part coming-of-age series, based on the “Save Me” novels by Mona Kasten, can be seen on Amazon Prime Video from Thursday.
