A bundle of sexual assault allegations against Steven Seagal are revealing what may be a long-term pattern of inappropriateness. CBS Crimesider has dug up a 1998 interview with Jenny McCarthy — who says that during a casting call for ‘Under Siege 2,’ she was asked to strip and threatened not to tell anyone.
“I go inside Seagal’s office, and he’s by himself and says, ‘Sit on my couch,” McCarthy told Movieline magazine in ’98. “Then he said, ‘Take off your dress.’ I just started crying and said, ‘Rent my Playboy video, you a*****e!’ and ran out to the car.”
CBS also reports in 1998, nine women told Penthouse magazine about their experiences of Seagal sexually harassing them. Yikes.
News recently broke that Seagal’s reality series, ‘Steven Seagal Lawman,’ will be shelved as a result of the scandal.
The lawsuit TMZ obtained Monday alleges Kayden Nguyen interviewed with Seagal to become his executive assistant. Nguyen claims she landed the job, but when she showed up for work, “Mr. Seagal had been keeping two young female Russian ‘attendants’ on staff who were available for his sexual needs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.” Nguyen also claims, Seagal treated her “as his sex toy.”
According to RadarOnline, Nguyen is suing for sexual harassment, illegal trafficking of females for sex, failure to prevent sexual harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination and false representation about employment and wants more than $1 million dollars.
