Claudia Jordan and Shanna Moakler are making headlines with shocking allegations against Steven Seagal, and it’s not the flattering kind. On their new podcast“Wicked Awesome,”the women detailed unsettling experiences during what were supposed to be professional auditions. Instead of focusing on talent, Seagal allegedly used these opportunities to set a peculiar scene—urging them to undress for massages instead of showcasing their skills.
Jordan’s and Moakler’s revelations aren’t just stories; they raise serious questions about the predatory nature that can sometimes lurk in Hollywood. Shanna recounted how, at 18, Seagal flew her out for an audition but instead directed her to remove her top for an unexpected acupuncture session. Claudia had her own awkward moment, where she felt cornered and uncomfortable after Seagal locked them in a room and offered to massage—as if the audition was just a ruse.
The women aren’t alone in feeling violated; they wonder how many other aspiring actresses have faced similar scenarios. It’s chilling, to say the least. As this story unfolds, it forces fans and industry watchers alike to confront the reality of predatory behavior in an industry that often puts dreamers in precarious positions. Does Hollywood need to do more to protect those trying to break into it?
