...And Sex Trafficker?
Apparently, Steven Seagal has had a one MILLION dollar lawsuit filed against him by a young woman who was claims she was sexually harassed and assaulted by the aging film star. I use the term “film star” loosely.
23 year old, Jayden Nguyen, was hired as Seagal’s “executive assistant” last February, and assumed her job would be filing papers, answering phones, you know, secretary stuff. Well, when Nguyen showed up for her first day at work, she was told that pleasuring Seagal was to be her number one duty behind the desk.
According to RadarOnline.com, Nguyen, who was an accomplished model, claims that Sega was treating her as his “sex toy”, as stated in legal documents filed on Monday.
RadarOnline.com goes on to state that Nguyen had knowledge of Seagal “keeping two young female Russian ‘attendants’ on staff who were available for his sexual needs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.” Well, one of the Russian girls couldn’t take it anymore and quit! That’s when Seagal hired Nguyen to take her place in the office. Here are some juicy details that RadarOnline was able to dig up:
“On her first night of work, Seagal allegedly engaged in physical and sexual assault by ‘pushing his hands under her shirt and attempting to fondle her bare breast, and forcing her head against his bare chest.’
It goes on to claim that the next morning he got even more aggressive with her (forgetting that he wasn’t filming an action movie, apparently) and “forcibly held her legs apart. Then he forced his hand down her pants...” The document gets even more graphic and the worst of it wasn’t released.
Oh, it doesn’t stop there, though! The suit claims that a third physical assault took place a few hours later, where “Seagal forcibly lifted Ms. Nguyen’s blouse, forced his head on her bare chest and attempted to suck her breasts and nipples. He stopped only when she ran.” Clearly someone has mommy issues.
Nguyen wasn’t having any of this bullshit, so she quit a few days after starting, on February 28, 2010.
TMZ.com also disclosed that Nguyen is also suing Seagal for forcing her to take illegal pills, as well as illegal trafficking of females for sex, due to the fact that she was hired in Los Angeles but made to fly to New Orleans to “work” in his home while he was filming the reality show Lawman, on A&E.
Nguyen states that she complained about his behavior but that nothing was done, so she quit. Seagal hasn’t commented as of yet on this sticky situation, but according to the suit, Nguyen claims that Seagal told her that, “My wife wouldn’t mind if you and I had a sexual relationship.”
Seagal’s lawyer, Marty Singer, has the following to say concerning the lawsuit: “The lawsuit filed by Kayden Nguyen against Steven Seagal is a ridiculous and absurd claim by a disgruntled ex-employee who was fired for using illegal narcotics. The suit is a complete fabrication without a scintilla of truth and we are confident it will be dismissed.”
Hmmmm, to be honest, I don’t know what to think about this. I would like to think that Seagal wouldn’t be a pig, but based on what? I don’t have any reason not to believe that he would be capable of this, but all the facts aren’t out yet, so I am trying to keep an open mind. It is hard to not be cynical about famous men right now, though, because everywhere you turn they are getting caught sleeping around on their wives, beating women up or murdering them. But, then again, sensationalist news is what sells. You never hear: “Guy gives girl flowers on their first date! Story at ten.”
And the naive side of me would like to think that Seagal wouldn’t have to sink so low as to drug women, use them like sex toys and ruin their lives, but hey, what the hell do I know? Truth is, we don’t know much about him, and we certainly don’t know much about her, but you know that old saying... “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire!”
Hopefully, they can put this out as soon as possible, because I could see this getting really ugly really fast! Somewhere, though, Jesse James (Sandra Bullock’s estranged hubby) is breathing a big sigh of relief, happy that someone else is claiming “douchebag of the week” award other than him!
