Once again, the prestigious Hollywood film industry has stood speechless before one of its female members who has come forward with a serious sexual harassment allegation.

Exposing the inhuman way in which some wicked Hollywood actors, producers and directors behave to young aspiring actresses, Portia de Rossi has alleged, through her twitter handle, that Hollywood producer Steven Seagal sexually harassed her during an audition in which she had attended to ensure a role in one of Segal’s films.

The actress, who is married to renowned US talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, has explained in details what the producer has asked her in her twitter post, which is going viral in the social media platforms.

The surprising thing is that DeGeneres has also made a tweet regarding the incident. In the tweet, she has asserted that she is proud of her wife for the courage she has shown to publicise the difficult situation she had gone through.

Segal, who is presently a Russian citizen, has not responded until now. As per the reports, his spokesperson has said he has no comments.

Recently, another Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein faced similar sexual harassment allegations.

The concerned governments should take serious actions against those who exploit the young aspiring actresses.
