Former Contestants Share Uncomfortable Experiences with Steven Seagal
Claudia Jordan and Shana Moakler have come forward with unsettling claims about actor Steven Seagal, alleging that he once invited them into a room in his home and asked them to undress for massages.
In the debut episode of their podcast, “Wicked Awesome,” both women recounted their disconcerting experiences at Seagal’s residence. They initially believed they were there for an audition, but found themselves alone with the actor while he offered them massages and acupuncture.
Moakler mentioned that their history dates back to her taking Seagal from New York to Los Angeles when he was just 18 to audition for a movie. She recalled how he acted like he was a mentor, saying he would help her with her hip and suggested she take off her jacket to lie down. Hearing his children playing in the background made her uncomfortable.
Jordan chimed in, stating, “There’s nothing like the sound of kids pattering in the background while he sexually abuses you,” highlighting the striking similarity in their experiences.
Moakler expressed her frustration, saying, “You’re just playing with someone’s dreams, and when you’re someone as trusted as a famous person, it feels almost unimaginable to have kids around.” She described how Seagal brought her into a room, told her to remove her top, and then began giving her a massage. She felt incredibly uneasy and questioned when they would start reading lines for the supposed audition.
“I feel disgusting!” she remarked, sharing her feelings of discomfort and violation.
Jordan also opened up about her own experiences, noting that during her first audition, she was uncertain about what was happening. Years later, after another audition, she realized the troubling nature of her prior encounters. She recounted an instance when she found herself alone with Seagal and her assistant, who hadn’t shown up, leading to a private tour of his house and eventually being taken upstairs where the door was locked.
Unlike Moakler, Jordan said she kept her clothes on during the situation, emphasizing her discomfort. She described faking an issue to escape, saying, “That day was my best performance. I acted like I was having menstrual cramps.” She felt terrible about having to improvise but was relieved when the door finally opened and she left the unsettling scene.
Jordan recalled feeling anxious as she made her way to the front door, counting her steps and thinking that she had been set up. As of now, Seagal has not publicly addressed these allegations.
