Former model Kayden Nguyen is suing action movie star Steven Seagal for sex trafficking and assault, TMZ reported on April 12. Nguyen is claiming the actor hired her last year as an executive assistant, but on her first day, she learned that he had two young Russian ‘Attendants’ who were available for his sexual needs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

In the suit, Nguyen is seeking over a million dollars. She is also claiming that one of the ‘Attendants’ had recently quit, so Seagal hired her to take over that job, not the executive assistant position. On her first night of work, Nguyen is also claiming that he put his hands under her skirt and tried to fondle her breasts.

Nguyen added that while she complained the next day, nothing was done to Seagal. She claims that he even sexually assaulted her again, and forced her to consume illegal pills. The current star of the A&E show ‘Steven Seagal: Lawman’ even told her that his wife wouldn’t mind if they had a sexual relationship, she also stated.

In response to the lawsuit, Seagal’s lawyer, Marty Singer, released a statement the next day. In it, Singer said that the lawsuit is ridiculous and absurd. “…(It) is a claim by a disgruntled ex-employee who was fired for using illegal narcotics,” Singer added. He said he’s confident the suit will be dismissed, as he called it a “complete fabrication.”
