Portia de Rossi, actress and wife of tv host Elle DeGeneres, has claimed Steven Seagal sexually harassed her during an audition.
She was in his office for a final audition, she said, when he zipped down his pants and said it was important they have off-screen chemistry.
She wrote:
My final audition for a Steven Segal movie took place in his office. He told me how important it was to have chemistry off-screen as he sat me down and unzipped his leather pants. I ran out and called my agent. Unfazed, she replied, “well, I didn’t know if he was your type.”
