Even in death, Carrie Fisher is still an advocate for women.

According to her longtime friend, Heather Ross, who shared her story on Tucson’s radio station 94.9 MixFM, she was sexually assaulted by a Hollywood producer in 2000 after he picked her up in his car to go to a business meeting.

After driving a while, he pulled over and pushed her against the car seat, pinning her down.

When she shared the story with Carrie, the Star Wars actress sent the producer the tongue of a cow wrapped in a Tiffany box.

“About two weeks later, she [Fisher] sent me a message online and she said, ‘I just saw (blank) at Sony Studios,'” Heather recalled. ”’I knew he would probably be there, so I went to his office and personally delivered a Tiffany box wrapped with a white bow.'”

She continued: “‘I asked her what was inside and she said, ‘It was a cow tongue from Jerry’s Famous Deli in Westwood with a note that said, ‘If you ever touch my darling Heather or any other woman again, the next delivery will be something of yours in a much smaller box!””

Heather said, “That’s just how she was. I miss her dearly. She stood up for people…she put things out there and in your face.”
