Winona Ryder recalls telling the producers of a movie that the director was being inappropriate with her. In response, the director whispered to her “you f*cking c*nt, I’m gonna destroy your f*cking life.”
Man, directors from the 70-80’s were just straight up fucking Vogons huh?

So it’s either ~~Ben Stiller~~, Richard Linklater, Steven Brill or Janusz Kaminski. Those are the movies where her brother(s) were production assistant(s) on.
ETA: From NY Daily News-
**Nearly a decade after “Reality Bites,” Ryder made a cameo in 2001’s “Zoolander,” also helmed by and starring Stiller, but she never again worked on projects directed by Linklater or Kaminski**
[It doesn’t appear she’s worked with Brill again either, so only Stiller is ruled out, imo]
[She previously worked with Kaminski in How to Make An American Quilt, but was never directed by him again]
I’m going with Brill here.

I remember articles about how Tim Burton grossly describing having a crush on her when she was like 15. I would not be surprised if he’s involved.
