Jessica Alba left halfway through a screening of her own movie.
The actress slipped out midway through the Sunday premiere of "The Killer Inside Me," a movie stirring outrage at Sundance for its violence toward women, reports the Toronto Star.
"Killer" stars Casey Affleck as a small town Texas sheriff, Lou Ford, who is revealed to be psychotic. He punches and kicks two female characters, played by Alba and Kate Hudson, to a bloody pulp. In the case of Alba's character, one scene which shows her being graphically beaten goes on for several minutes.
Alba did not return for the Monday screening where the British director, Michael Winterbottom, was confronted by angry audience members demanding to know why it was necessary to show such gratuitous violence toward women.
Winterbottom, who appeared shaken by the audience reaction, according to the Star, defended himself by pointing out that the film was based on a 1952 pulp novel by Jim Thompson.
