It’s a conviction that was fuelled by the media treatment she received at the start of her acting career. “I was doing my Broadway debut, and they [*The New York Times*] did a profile on me and referred to my ex-fiancé [Jude Law] as a ‘fling’,” she told [*Vulture*](https://www.vulture.com/2019/06/sienna-miller-american-woman-and-the-loudest-voice-q-and-a.html). “A week later [the *Times*] did a profile on Jude, who also had a play on Broadway, and said he ‘had a three-year relationship and engagement with the actress Sienna Miller’.” \r\n\r\n*Read more: [Sienna Miller Delivers A Dash Of Old Hollywood Glamour In Miu Miu At The Tony Awards](https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/sienna-miller-tony-awards-2019)* \r\n\r\nMiller, whose latest independent film, *American Woman*, sees her take on the role of a mother desperately searching for her missing daughter, blames it on “latent sexism”. “What they’re trying to say is that this person [Miller] is frivolous and a slut, and this person I’d been engaged to and had an intense relationship with [isn’t],” she said. “It’s just disgusting. It made me angry. It was so hurtful and crushing. It’s out there; no apology will take it away. And it listed people I’d never slept with in the opening. It makes you go totally weak. It takes any power you have.” \r\n\r\n[#video:https://youtube.com/embed/mkR735JCGe8]\r\n\r\nFrom *Foxcatcher* to *Burnt* and *High-Rise*, Miller has racked up a variety of roles over the course of her career. She’s also passionately behind the Time’s Up movement, speaking out about the abuse and harassment women have faced within the industry, as well as wading into conversations around equal pay. “I got paid, not equal, but close to what the man got,” Miller said of her previous roles. “Versus 90 per cent less, which is the majority. You’d be shocked at the difference. Of course, I would have done it for free because I f**king love my job, but getting valued, it turns out, is really amazing. So I understand why these men felt really great for a long time. Because I do now!” Even though progress has been made, the “disparity is alarming”, however, “now there’s more transparency,” she said.  \r\n\r\n*American Woman hits cinemas on October 11.*\r\n\r\n   \r\n\r\n***More From British Vogue: ***[#cneembed: script/video/601b2acd7bdeb50a648f34a2.js?autoplay=0&muted=0]||||||"
