Carrie Fisher was not just a celebrated heroine on screen, but she also proved to be an admirable superstar off-screen. Being amongst the most beloved actors, you wouldn’t think that Carrie Fisher is a total savage where she needs to be. One such incident proving that fact happened when she tried to protect her friend by threatening a producer with a severed cow tongue.
What Happened With Heather Ross…
Heather Ross, a screenwriter known for her work in the industry is a pretty good friend of the late Leia Organa star. Back in 2018, she went on air to tell her story on US radio station, 94.9 MixFM when the Harvey Weinstein allegations were prevalent. She revealed an incident of sexual misconduct that she was, unfortunately, a part of, and it involved an unnamed Hollywood producer.
She reached out to this producer to try and work on his new project. Upon meeting her in his car, he made an excuse to pull over and then suddenly climbed on top of her. As Ross pushed him and tried to escape, he said, “You’ll never make a movie in my town and get the F out of my car.”
So after this traumatizing incident, she told Carrie Fisher about the whole incident.
When Carrie Fisher Threatened a Producer
When Fisher got to know about how Ross was se*ually assaulted by the unnamed producer, she personally went to his office in Los Angeles and delivered a strong message. You see, it was a typical “Godfather and the horse head move” as what Fisher carried along with her was a severed cow tongue in a Tiffany box that was wrapped with a bow.

Here’s how Ross described what the Star Wars legend did:
“About two weeks later, she sent me a message online and said, ‘I just saw [blank] at Sony Studios. I knew he would probably be there, so I went to his office and personally delivered a Tiffany box wrapped with a white bow.’
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!'”
Then, Ross added that the Princess Leia actress really left a lasting impression on her. She continued:
“It felt validating to know, OK, first of all, this woman who I love as a friend was not just a fake Hollywood friend. That’s who Carrie Fisher was. She spoke out and she put things out there in your face,”
It’s good to see how our beloved legend stood for her friend, and how the unnamed producer got what he deserved!
Carrie Fisher may be gone, but her memory will live on forever!
