Creeps preyed on Marguiles

- Jessica Chia

EMMY AWARD-winning actress Julianna Margulies said she “squirmed” her way out of a creepy hotel room encounter with Steven Seagal — and another with Harvey Weinstein.

In an interview with Jenny Hutt on SiriusXM on Friday, the former “ER” actress said a female casting director told her asked her to go to Seagal’s room when she was 23.

When she turned up at the hotel, however, Margulies found herself alone with Seagal, who she claimed was packing heat.

She did not delve into exactly what happened, but said, “I got out of there unscathed. It’s a long story ... but I never was raped, and I never was harmed, and I don’t know how I got out of that hotel room.”

Years later, Margulies said she took another woman with her to meet Weinstein at his hotel, and he greeted them in a bathroom.
