Hollywood star Julia Roberts says though she is sad about the recent revelations of her colleagues, but sexual harassment has not been a part of her experience.

In an interview with Matt Lauer from the Today show the actor reveals that she had been "spared" from the whole experience in her long Hollywood career.

Roberts, 50 said "You know, it's all so ugly in so many ways, I've never had this experience. I mean, I almost feel bad saying that because I don't know why I was spared.

"You hear some of these heart-wrenching, awful stories

and I have a daughter it is heartbreaking. But it's not been part of my experience."
 

Roberts had previously released a statement against Harvey Weinstein to People magazine, "I stand firm in the hope that we will finally come together as a society to stand up against this kind of predatory behaviour, to help victims find their voices and their healing, and to stop it once and for all.
