Martial arts actor Steven Segal is being sued by Kayden Nguyen, a 23-year-old former model who was hired by Segal as an executive assistant in February, 2009.
Nguyen alleges Seagal treated her “as his sex toy” and tried to fondle her breasts and force his hand down her pants on her first night as his assistant.
Nguyen is suing for sexual harassment, illegal trafficking of females for sex, failure to prevent sexual harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination and false representation about employment.
The lawsuit also alleges that, “Mr. Seagal has been keeping two young female Russian ‘attendants’ on staff who were available for his sexual needs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.”
Nguyen claims that she was required “to watch as “Sasha” (Russian attendant) and Mr. Seagal performed sex acts on each other.”
Nguyen is suing for damages in excess of $1 million and has requested a jury trial.
Seagal’s lawyer, Marty Singer, insists Nguyen is lying, “The lawsuit filed by Kayden Nguyen against Steven Seagal is a ridiculous and absurd claim by a disgruntled ex-employee who was fired. The claims in her lawsuit are a complete fabrication without a scintilla of truth. Steven Seagal’s attorney Marty Singer stated that “I am extremely confident this meritless lawsuit will be dismissed. Ms. Nguyen filed her lawsuit without even notifying Steven Seagal or his representatives of her alleged claims because she was aware that claims could be asserted against her based on her own conduct. Her lawsuit is nothing more than a preemptive strike by a disgruntled ex-employee.”
