Since the film has been released, credible stories have come out indicating that Judy Garland endured extensive abuse during and before filming from various parties involved.[36][37][38] The studio went to extreme lengths to change her appearance including binding her chest and giving her Benzedrine tablets to keep her weight down, along with uppers and downers that caused giggling fits. There were claims that director Victor Fleming often slapped her in the face and various members of the cast pointed out her breasts and made other lewd comments. Claims have been made in memoirs that the frequently drunk actors portraying the Munchkins propositioned and pinched her.[39][40][38] There were also allegations that she was groped by Louis B. Mayer.[36][41]"
