Claudia Jordan and Shanna Moakler are speaking out with disturbing allegations about their early Hollywood experiences involving Steven Seagal.
On the debut episode of their new podcast Wicked Awesome, the two women swapped audition stories that quickly took a left turn.
“I’ve told this story before,” Jordan said. “Steven Seagal. He was one.” Moakler immediately reacted, realizing they were talking about the same man.
Moakler claimed she was flown from New York to Los Angeles at age 18 for what she believed was an audition, only to find herself alone at Seagal’s home.
“He told me he could fix my back,” she said, recalling how he offered acupuncture and massage instead of reading a script. “I was so incredibly uncomfortable.”
Jordan said she had a similar encounter years later, recalling a visit to Seagal’s house that left her scared.
“The best acting I ever did was that day,” she said, explaining how she pretended to feel ill to escape the situation. “I got in my car, locked it, and just bawled crying.”
Moakler said the alleged behavior was infuriating because it targeted young women chasing careers. “You’re messing with someone’s dreams,” she said.
Seagal has previously faced misconduct accusations from multiple women.
