Actress recalls scary bedroom ordeal with Steven Seagal

Julianna Margulies has revealed that she was asked to meet Steven Seagal in his hotel room at 10 pm when she was 23.

In an interview with Jenny Hutt for SiriusXM’s “Just Jenny,” Margulies said that the casting director who contacted her assured her that she would be reimbursed and added that she herself would be present during the meeting.

Margulies was hesitant and expressed her concern that she had no money for a cab and didn’t want to take the subway late at night.

But the casting director convinced her, stating, “Don’t worry, we’ll reimburse you. And I’m here, a woman.”

When Margulies arrived at the hotel, she found herself alone with Seagal.

He made sure that she saw his gun and, according to Margulies, it was a “long story” but she managed to leave the hotel unharmed.

Seagal has been accused of s**ual misconduct by other women in the past.

Lisa Guerrero, an “Inside Edition” correspondent, said that she was asked to meet Seagal at his home in 1996 for a private audition where she was met by him in a silk bathrobe.

In 1998, Jenny McCarthy claimed that Seagal asked her to audition n/ked for “Under Siege 2,” but a spokesperson for Seagal denied McCarthy’s allegations.

Margulies also revealed that she had refused to meet Harvey Weinstein alone after her encounter with Seagal.

Margulies said that she had her own “Harvey story” but was never raped nor harmed.

She did not reveal the details of the encounter, but she explained that she refused to meet Weinstein alone because of her experience with Seagal.

Instead, a female assistant accompanied her to Weinstein’s hotel room, and she knocked on the door.

Weinstein opened the door in a bathrobe, and Margulies saw that there was a dinner for two with candles lit.

Weinstein stared at the assistant, and then looked at Margulies furiously before slamming the door.

Margulies did not get the part she was promised.

Weinstein has been accused of s**ual misconduct by over 90 women, including harassment and rape.

He is currently under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department for a lewd conduct accusation.

According to New York Police Chief Robert K.

Boyce, the NYPD has “an actual case” against Weinstein involving rape.

A spokesperson for Weinstein has previously denied any allegations of non-consensual s**.

Margulies’ experience with Seagal and Weinstein has led her to speak out against the “casting couch” culture in Hollywood, where actors and actresses are expected to exchange s**ual favors for work.

Margulies explained that “for years, we all just shrugged it off” but she is now determined to speak out against such behavior.
