In a new exclusive interview promoting her upcoming memoir, the South African-born actress finally opened up about the men who, in her words, “took something from me that I can never get back.

Here are the six men Charlize Theron says she hated the most, and why each one earned a place on this list of betrayal, bitterness, and shocking revelation.

#1: Her Biological Father, Charles Theron
The most personal—and painful—confession comes first.

Theron has spoken before about the traumatic night when her mother shot and killed her alcoholic father in self-defense, but never with this kind of intensity.

“He was a monster,” she said.

“He terrorized our home.

I hated him for what he did to my mother and to me.

” Theron revealed that even before the final confrontation, her father had destroyed any sense of security she had as a child.

“He didn’t just break things.

He broke me.

#2: A Famous Director (Unnamed… but strongly hinted)
While Theron didn’t name him directly due to legal concerns, she described working with a powerful, award-winning director who constantly belittled her on set.

“He screamed at me in front of everyone.

He called me ‘difficult’ because I stood up for myself.

” Insiders believe she was referring to an early-2000s film where Theron reportedly clashed with a major auteur.

“He told me I’d never work again if I didn’t play by his rules,” she said.

“That kind of manipulation is abuse.

” She says she still refuses to watch the movie they made together.

#3: Sean Penn
This one caught everyone off guard.

Charlize and Sean Penn were once engaged—or at least seriously involved—and frequently seen together on red carpets.

But Theron is now admitting the relationship was far from glamorous.

“I was drawn to the intensity,” she said.

“But it quickly turned toxic.

” She described emotional manipulation, control issues, and moments of frightening volatility.

“He made me feel small.

Like I was the problem.

And walking away from that… was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done.

” She also revealed that after the breakup, he ghosted her completely—even after years of closeness.

#4: A Well-Known Action Star (Former Co-Star)
Though she didn’t say his name, fans are connecting the dots to her infamous tension with Tom Hardy on the set of Mad Max: Fury Road.

Theron confirmed that working with a “massive male ego” nearly drove her to walk off the set.

“He was late.

He was disrespectful.

He made the shoot miserable for everyone.

” She added that she “dreaded” going to work and had to have a producer mediate between them.

“We’ve made peace now,” she said, “but back then? I hated him.

And I think he hated me too.

#5: A Studio Executive Who Tried to Silence Her
Years before the #MeToo movement exploded, Theron says she faced pressure from a powerful studio exec to stay quiet about inappropriate behavior on set.

“He told me if I said anything, the movie would be shut down and hundreds of people would lose their jobs.

” She later learned he had a history of covering up for problematic directors and actors.

“He wanted me to be a good girl.

I’ll never forget that phone call—his voice, his threats.

That man didn’t just silence me—he tried to erase me.

#6: A Former Agent Who Betrayed Her Trust
At the beginning of her Hollywood rise, Theron was represented by an agent she trusted completely—until she found out he had been negotiating backroom deals against her interests.

“He was selling me short, literally,” she said.

“He took money under the table.

He lied about offers.

And worst of all, he smiled in my face the whole time.

” She fired him immediately, but the betrayal lingered.

“That’s the kind of thing that makes you question everyone.

Theron’s decision to go public with this list didn’t come lightly.

She said she was afraid of the backlash, the headlines, the assumptions.

But after years of being asked to smile and stay silent, she’s done playing nice.

“I’m not here to protect men who hurt me anymore,” she said.

“They got to tell their stories.

Now I’m telling mine.

The reaction has been explosive.

Hollywood insiders are scrambling to decode the unnamed figures, while fans are praising her courage for speaking out.

Social media is ablaze with debate—some shocked, some skeptical, some heartbroken to learn how much darkness was hiding behind one of cinema’s most powerful women.

Theron isn’t asking for sympathy.

She’s demanding truth.

“We glamorize strength like it comes from nothing.

But my strength was born in fire.

And these men were the ones holding the matches.

As her memoir climbs the bestseller list and headlines continue to swirl, one thing is certain: Charlize Theron is done being silent.

And Hollywood’s most powerful men are finally feeling the heat.
