Even during his prime, Steven Seagal wasn’t the most pleasant man to work with, and ever since his fall from grace, several celebrities have come forward to share their distaste with the actor. Following these revelations, many have even come forward accusing the actor of alleged s*xual harassment and assault, including actresses like Portia de Rossi and Rachel Grant.
However, nothing was as unnerving and disturbing as Katherine Heigl’s experience with the Hard to Kill star, as she opened up about the actor’s disturbing demeanor on the sets when she was just 16.
Katherine Heigl once opened up about her disturbing experience with Steven Seagal’s
While reflecting on her early days in Hollywood, Katherine Heigl opened up about Steven Seagal‘s disturbing demeanor on the sets of Under Siege 2. She claimed that the actor allegedly tried to groom a 16-year-old Heigl into a relationship. The Hard to Kill actor even inappropriately put his hands on her chest during the movie’s premiere, as she explained the situation by stating,
“[On] the last day of shooting, and again, I had just turned 16 on this movie, and he said ‘you know Katie, I got girlfriends your age,’. And I said, ‘Isn’t that illegal?’ And he said, ‘They don’t seem to mind.’ And I said, ‘Mom!’… I’m not making that up.”
But this isn’t the only time when Seagal was involved in a shady situation during the production of Under Siege 2, as actress Jenny McCarthy later accused the actor of s*xual misconduct allegations.
Jenny McCarthy allegedly fled an audition due to Steven Seagal
While explaining the situation, Jenny McCarthy claimed that she once auditioned for the movie Under Siege 2, but the audition process didn’t go too well. The actress claimed that Seagal asked her to strip during the audition process even though there wasn’t any n*dity in the script and she eventually fled the audition. McCarthy explained the whole situation by stating,
“I stand up and he goes, ‘Take off your dress.’ I said, ‘What?’ and he said, ‘There’s n*dity.’ I said, ‘No, there’s not, or I wouldn’t be here right now.’ He said again, ‘There’s n*dity,’ and I said, ‘The pages are right in front of me. There’s no nudity.’ He goes, ‘Take off your dress,'” McCarthy alleged. “I just started crying and said, ‘Rent my [Playboy] video, you a**hole!’ and ran out to the car.”
These two are among the long list of controversies that Seagal has found himself in over the years, which eventually led to the actor being blacklisted from Hollywood and becoming one of its most hated stars.
Under Siege 2: Dark Territory is available to stream on HBO Max.
