Claudia Jordan and Shanna Moakler have lobbed misconduct allegations against producer/actor Steven Seagal.
In the debut episode of their Wicked Awesome podcast, Jordan and Moakler took a moment to share their craziest audition stories from their early careers.
“I told this story before, and I have named names,” Jordan began. “I've said it before… Steven Seagal. He was one.”
Moakler immediately interjected, claiming she also had an incident involving Seagal.
“Did you have an audition at his house for a movie?” Jordan asked. “Did he lock you in one of the rooms? Did he try to give you a massage and say, ‘I can fix your neck?’”
“He did! Oh my god, Claudia,” Moakler said. “He flew me when I was like 18-years-old from New York to L.A.”
Moakler claimed she had gone to Seagal’s house for a supposed audition; however, she eventually realized the actor had ulterior motives. The 50-year-old former pageant queen said Seagal had taken her to a room in his house and began offering her acupuncture to “fix” her back.
“Same!” Jordan responded.
Moakler said Seagal told her he was a sensei and had learned massage techniques that would alleviate her body discomfort.
“He was like, ‘You should take off your top and lay on the bed,’ and I was just like, ‘Um…’” Moakler recalled. “I could hear his kids playing in the background. Like, really crazy.”
“Not the pitter-patter of kids in the background as he tries to molest you!!” Jordan said.
Moakler said Seagal “did do a couple acupuncture things,” before he began giving her a massage.
“I just remember sitting there with my top off and he was massaging me,” Moakler continued. “I was so incredibly uncomfortable. I was like, ‘Well, when are we going to read for a part in your movie?’ And he just gave me some fake script or something…Of course, there’s no job. It was so disgusting.”
Jordan, who publicly accused Seagal of misconduct in 2023, said she was also lured into Seagal’s home under the pretext of a job opportunity. She said she had auditioned for the actor a few years before, which made her believe the gig was legit.
“So, when I got there at 6 at night, it was just me, him and his assistant,” Jordan claimed. “And then [Seagal is] like, ‘Well, we’re waiting for someone to come read with you.’ That [person] never came.”
Jordan said Seagal then gave her a home tour that she “did not ask for,” and eventually got her into an upstairs room and locked the door. The actor allegedly noticed that Jordan was tense and offered to work on her back.
“I didn’t take anything off,” Jordan recalled. “The best acting I ever did was that day. I acted like I was getting period cramps. I was like, ‘If you just let me come back in a few days, it’ll be so much better.’ And then he was like, ‘You promise?’ I was like, ‘Yeah.’ I felt so gross to say that.”
Jordan said she then began making her way to the front door as Seagal followed closely behind.
“I got in my car, I locked it, and I just bawled crying,” she said. “I called the person who set up the interview. I was like, ‘You f–king set me up. There’s no way you did not set me up.’”
Moakler said the alleged incidents made her angry because Seagal was preying on young women’s hopes and aspirations.
“It pisses me off, Claudia, so much because this is where it's, like, so disgusting,” she said. “Like you're just fucking with someone's dreams. You're like fucking with someone's hopes… You can go fuck yourself, Steven Seagal.”
As of press time, Seagal’s camp had not responded to Moakler and Jordan’s allegations. The Under Siege actor was previously accused of misconduct by multiple women, including Eva LaRue, Portia de Rossi, Julianna Margulies, and Jenny McCarthy.
