Steven Seagal’s under siege and up a creek: Five more women have reportedly come forward to accuse the star of sexual harassment after his former assistant Kayden Nguyen sued Seagal in a Los Angeles courtroom this week for treating her like a sex slave.
Kayden Nguyen, a 23-year-old model, sued Seagal for $1 million on Monday in Los Angeles, alleging he sexually harassed her and engaged in sex trafficking. Nguyen says Seagal, 58, sexually assaulted her twice and hired sex slaves who were on call 24 hours a day. She claims that her famous boss demanded she give him massages alongside a naked “attendant” before she fled his Louisiana home last fall.
“Ms Nguyen’s claims are not going away. Five other victims called me yesterday,” William Waldo, an attorney for the first accuser, remarked to London’s The Sun Thursday.
Seagal’s lawyer calls the sex abuse claims “absurd.”
On Wednesday, Seagal’s reality TV show — Steven Seagal: Lawman — was suspended as the actor faces the sexual harassment allegations.
