However, he denied all the allegations stating that “he had never met any of these women or, if he did, it ‘was for five minutes and have no recollection.'”
Toback added that it is “‘biologically impossible’ for him to engage in the behavior described by the women in this story, saying he had diabetes and a heart condition that required medication.” Louise Post, one of Toback’s accusers, recalled the incident, saying, “He told me he’d love nothing more than to masturbate while looking into my eyes. Going to his apartment has been the source of shame for the past 30 years, that I allowed myself to be so gullible.” Amidst the allegations, here is more about the director.
