In the clip, she claimed to have confronted the unnamed man "again and again" while they worked together and referred to him as a "predator".
When Theroux asked her what she meant by that term, the 40-year-old said: "I mean perpetrator of sexual assault."
Ryan added: "But it is very dangerous for us to have this conversation.
"I'm happy to have it, but it is a litigious minefield.

"Lots of people have tried to nail this person down for their alleged crimes and this person has very good lawyers."
Pressed for more details, she said simply that it was "not her story to tell" but that she had heard the allegations from "very credible" sources.
Ryan has previously made comments of a similar nature, including on her Amazon Prime show Backstage with Katherine Ryan.
On the show, she told fellow comedian Sarah Pascoe that she had performed alongside someone that both women "believe is a predator".

She also claimed to have called him a predator to his face.
However, she added that she had stopped short of accusing them publically as she did not have any hard evidence and it could damage her career and the wellbeing of her family.
Ryan emphasised that she was not the victim of any assault but was aware of allegations against the man.
