from www.nydailynews.com – Two more women have come forward to claim they were sexually harassed by notorious womanizer Steven Seagal.
According to TMZ.com, one of the action star’s alleged victims is Ray Charles’ granddaughter, Blair Robinson.
The stunning beauty claims to have first met Seagal in 2004 at her famous grandfather’s funeral. Following the service, the actor reportedly invited Robinson and her father, Ray Charles Jr., back to his home to discuss a possible job opportunity.
According to court documents, Robinson was soon hired to be Seagal’s assistant. On her first day, the actor allegedly told her she was required to give him massages and even instructed her how to do so.
“It became clear to me that he wanted and expected sexual favors as part of my job duties,” Robinson states in the papers. She reportedly quit after the first day.
In addition to Robinson, a second woman claims the actor made unwanted sexual advances toward her while she was also his employee, TMZ reports.
Both women have reportedly provided sworn declarations to assist a $1 million lawsuit filed by Kayden Nguyen, a 23-year-old model who claims Seagal sexually harassed and assaulted her during her tenure as his personal assistant.
In one woman’s declaration, obtained by TMZ, Seagal is accused of luring the alleged victim into his bedroom and putting his hands on her breasts because he was “checking just as a doctor would for lumps.”
“Seagal reached his hand down my pants. He said, ‘I just wanted to touch it for a second to see what it felt like,'” reads the statement.
Similar to Nguyen, both women quit after Seagal allegedly made inappropriate sexual advances at them.
His lawyer, Marty Singer, denies the “absurd” accusations and claims the actor has “no knowledge of these women.”
“A preliminary check of his employment records does not show that they ever worked for him,” said Singer. “The declarations were clearly prepared by Nguyen’s lawyer to be leaked to the media to help bolster his client’s meritless claims.”
from www.tmz.com – The Steven Seagal alleged sexual assault scandal now has a Ray Charles connection … TMZ has learned one of the women who just came forward accusing Seagal of making unwanted sexual advances is Ray’s granddaughter.
As we first reported, two new women have given sworn declarations to back up Kayden Nguyen’s lawsuit against the star. One is Blair Robinson — who claims she first met Seagal at her granddaddy Ray’s funeral in 2004.
According to Robinson, she was invited to Seagal’s home after the funeral — along with her father Ray Charles Jr. — to discuss a job opportunity with the actor.
In the declaration, Blair claims she took a job as Seagal’s assistant one month after the meeting — but on day 1, she claims Seagal came to her room and told her she was required to give him massages. In the docs, Blair also claims Seagal tried teaching her the proper method by massaging her.
In the docs, Blair states, “It became clear to me that he wanted and expected sexual favors as part of my job duties.” Blair claims she quit after the first day.
Seagal’s lawyer, Marty Singer, vehemently denies the accusations and claims Seagal has “no knowledge” of either Blair or the other woman who provided declarations.
Singer added, “The declarations were clearly prepared by Nguyen’s lawyer to be leaked to the media to help bolster his client’s meritless claims.”
