In shocking court papers obtained exclusively by RadarOnline.com, 1990s martial arts actor Steven Seagal is being sued for sexual harassment and illegal trafficking of females for sex.
EXCLUSIVE DOCUMENTS: Steven Seagal Court Documents
The lawsuit was brought by his former personal assistant, Kayden Nguyen, who is a 23-year-old former model.
The legal documents say Seagal “treated Ms. Nguyen as his sex toy.”
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 document also claims 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.”
But Seagal’s top-notch lawyer Marty Singer fired back in ferocious manner. He released this statement to RadarOnline.com:
“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.”
Singer charged Nguyen with illegal activity.
