After being slammed by a former employee, Kayden Nguyen, Steven Seagal is facing fresh allegations from Jenny McCarthy.
Actress McCarthy has come forward to claim that she experienced unacceptable behaviour at the hands of the action star.
The actor has a long history of inappropriate behaviour and former Playboy playmate McCarthy said she had suffered an uncomfortable situation with the Under Siege star.
She said in a 1998 interview to Movieline magazine, unearthed by CBS News channel's Crimesider, that Seagal asked her to strip during a casting call for Under Siege 2, and then threatened her not to tell anyone.
"I go inside [Seagal's] office, which has shag carpet and this huge couch, and he's by himself and says, 'Sit on my couch'," McCarthy, now 37, said.
"[He says] 'So, you were Playmate of the Year?'
"Then he said, 'Take off your dress.' I just started crying and said, 'Rent my Playboy video, you a---!' and ran out to the car," McCarthy said in the interview.
"Actress did make those statements at the time and does not wish to comment further," McCarthy's publicist said.
Nine other women admitted to Penthouse magazine of their harassment cases against the actor in 1998.
Nguyen has sued Seagal for $1 million for sexually assaulting her and hiring her to replace one of two "attendants" who were "available for his sexual needs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week," The New York Daily News reported.
