Jenny McCarthy alleges sexual harassment by Steven Seagal

Actress Jenny McCarthy claims actor and producer Steven Seagal sexually harassed her during a 1995 audition for Under Siege 2.

The former Playboy model recounted her encounter with Seagal on her Sirius XM radio show Thursday, a day after Portia de Rossi made similar claims of harassment on Twitter.

McCarthy says she was alone in the room with Seagal when he asked her to sit next to him on a couch. After she declined, McCarthy says he began talking about his mission trips to Asia in an attempt to get her to sit with him.

"He keeps bragging and bragging about himself, and watching out of one eye to see if I take the bait," she says. "So he says to me then, 'You know, this part has nudity in it, and I can't really tell what your body looks like in that dress you're wearing'"

McCarthy continued, saying she told the actor that her agent said there was no nudity in the project, to which she says Seagal responded that "there is off-camera nudity," and asked her to lower her dress so he could see her breasts.

McCarthy says she walked out of the audition, but claims Seagal followed her and warned her not to tell anyone, "or else."

McCarthy described the incident as "disheartening" and made her debate moving back to Chicago. She also says she called her mom right after to tell her about the incident.

McCarthy told the same story to Movieline in 1998.

In addition to de Rossi, who alleges Seagal unzipping his pants during a private office audition, The Good Wife actress Julianna Margulies told SiriusXM’s Jenny Hutt last week that she had a similar incident with Seagal when she was 23.

Seagal requested to go over a movie scene with her in his hotel room. Once she arrived, the female assistant who said she would be there was gone.

"He made sure that I saw his gun, which I had never seen a gun in real life," Margulies alleged in the interview. "And I got out of there unscathed ... I sorta screamed my way out."

USA TODAY has reached out to Seagal's rep for comment.
