OSCAR BUZZ: Nate Parker
New York - Arab Today

Nate Parker, the actor-director dealing with a 17-year-old rape case casting a storm over his new film and career, opened up about the incident in a new interview.
Parker spoke about understanding his male privilege and the definition of consent in a lengthy interview Friday with Ebony magazine in Los Angeles. Earlier this month, the Hollywood trade press began to run stories about a 1999 rape allegation made against Parker when he was a student at Penn State University.
Parker was charged and later acquitted. The accuser killed herself in 2012.
Earlier this month, he gave two interviews to Variety and Deadline that received much attention. He told Ebony that in those interviews he “was acting as if I was the victim, and that’s wrong.”
Parker wrote, directed and will star in “The Birth of a Nation,” out in October. The film, about Nat Turner and the slave rebellion, is already generating Oscar buzz.
“I called a couple of sisters that (I) know that are in the space that talk about the feminist movement and toxic masculinity, and just asked questions. What did I do wrong? Because I was thinking about myself. And what I realized is that I never took a moment to think about the woman,” he told Ebony he did after his first pair of interviews. “I didn’t think about her (the accuser) then, and I didn’t think about her when I was saying those statements, which was wrong and insensitive.”
Parker said that he needs to seek information that will make him stronger, “that’ll help me overcome my toxic masculinity, my male privilege, because that’s something you never think about.”
When asked if he thought about the rape case over the last 17 years, he said he “hadn’t thought about it at all.”
Though Parker was acquitted, his college roommate and “Birth” collaborator Jean Celestin was initially found guilty of sexual assault. Celestin appealed and it was later overturned when the accuser declined to testify for a retrial.
“The Birth of a Nation” will be released Oct. 7. It had won top prizes at the Sundance Film Festival.
