Jenny McCarthys old interview reveals Steven Seagal harassed her too

Earlier this week, CB covered the current situation with Steven Seagal. He’s being sued by his former “executive assistant” who claims she was sexual harassed while in Seagal’s home. For a recap of CB’s story, go here. I think, like CB, that there is probably a lot of truth to what the woman is saying, just because Seagal is one of those guys that there was also gossip about, you know? He’s always seemed like a major-league a–hole, so finding out that he hires 20-something women and tries to force himself on them isn’t shocking.

So with that in mind, some journalists over at CBS have gone digging, looking for more dirt on Seagal. They didn’t have to go very far, although from the way this is being reported, you’d think it was some exhaustive investigation. When really, they just found an old magazine interview with Jenny McCarthy. Apparently, back in 1998, Jenny was interviewed for an issue of Movieline, and she told her Steven Seagal story. It’s pretty cheesy/gross:

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–hole!’ 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.

So basically Steven Seagal is a f-cking pig/douchebag/piece of trash. And I also find it interesting that not only did Jenny McCarthy leave when Seagal sexually harassed her, she outed him in an interview. I wonder if people took her seriously back then?

Can I tell a little story? I’ve never been sexually harassed like this at any of the jobs I’ve ever had, but I did have a harassment situation at a summer job in college that made me terribly uncomfortable. My manager was a horrible homophobic, racist bigot, and he always managed to casually slip in various terrible slurs into everyday conversation. One day (a few weeks into my new job) he was going on about f-ggot this and that, I called him on his sh-t very casually, and with an even tone, I told him that I always held the opinion that the people who used words like that in casual conversation were gay themselves, and besides that, I would appreciate it if he didn’t use that word around me anymore. He had a hissy fit! And he demoted me, trying to get me to quit, which I did, gladly. That’s my big harassment story. Of course, I also had a job where my boss always wanted to take me out to eat and acted like they were “date” situations. But I actually liked him a lot, and hey, it was a free meal. Does anyone have any good stories?
