Ashley Judd claims she was the victim of "everyday sexism" during a recent encounter at an airport.
The 49-year-old actress has taken to Facebook Live to detail the incident with an airport employee, who referred to her as "sweetheart", prompting a dispute between the pair.
Speaking down the camera lens as she made her way through the airport, Judd explained: "This is the kind of thing to me that happens which I categorise as everyday sexism. And it is so easy to let it go and not to speak up, particularly when it is so easy for someone to push back and say 'Oh, I was just being polite.'
"So I was coming through security and a guy said 'Hey sweetheart,' and I said, 'I'm not your sweetheart, I am your client.' So I was already setting a boundary. When I was setting my things out, he said, 'Hey nice dress!'"
