Hollywood action movie legend, turned B-movie action star, turned supposed UFC guru, Steven Seagal is being sued for sexual harassment and sexual trafficking it was learned over the weekend.
While the 62-year-old was in Vegas for UFC 182 and ‘mentoring’ Daniel Cormier last weekend Fox News reported the claims against the ‘Under Siege’ and ‘Nico: Above the Law’ star.
It is said that his former assistant, 23-year-old Kayden Nguyen, also former model, was hired and then used as a “sex toy” by Seagal. It is also reported that allegedly two other women, former employees of Seagal, “have provided sworn declarations to assist in the lawsuit.” The claim is for a whopping $1 million.
Seagal’s lawyer labelled the accusations as “absurd” and says the actor has “no knowledge of these women,” and that “the declarations were clearly prepared by Nguyen’s lawyer to be leaked to the media to help bolster his client’s meritless claims.”
Seagal has been humorously involved with the MMA scene through his association with Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida and claims to have thought them both techniques they’ve used in fights. Most recently, as previously stated, he was seen at a recent pre-fight training session wanting to teach Daniel Cormier as few very secret moves.
