Cox co-stars in the movie \"Promising Young Woman,\" out Christmas, which has themes of violence against women.

The actress said that while she's received a lot of support, she's also faced skeptics.

\"I've gotten so much support after what happened at Griffith Park, but there are a few people who were suggesting that it didn't happen because I didn't think to take out my phone and film it,\" she said. \"There's something infuriating about that and sad.\"
