CHOP-SCHLOCKY SEAGAL OWES PUTIN BIG-TIME!
IN HIS chop-socky action flicks, Steven Seagal often plays a lone wolf hero who protects gals and battles against evil mobs, organizations and governments run by cruel, bloodthirsty tyrants.
In real life, the self-proclaimed expert in Japanese aikido has a long string of sexual harassment and abuse accusations against him and is a fawning follower of Vladimir Putin — Russia’s murderous dictator, whose army is currently slaughtering innocent Ukrainians.
In his most recent pro-Putin message, toady Seagal was filmed visiting a prison camp for captured Ukrainian prisoners of war. Days earlier, 50 prisoners had been massacred at the site by a bomb placed on Putin’s orders, according to the Nova Ukraine group, which tracks the Russian invasion.
Seagal instead made the dubious claim Ukrainian forces had fired missiles at the prison full of their own men, to please his Russian pals.
Here’s what Putin’s pet pussycat doesn’t want us to know.
In the early ’90s, when he was churning out hit flicks like Out for Justice, Under Siege and On Deadly Ground, he was getting clobbered by claims of ugly attacks on gals — including:
• In 1991, Out for Justice set workers Raenne Malone, Nicole Selinger and Christine Keeve accused the hunk of sexual harassment. They were reportedly hushed up with payments of $50,000 each.
• During an audition for Under Siege 2, Playboy pin-up and Masked Singer beauty Jenny McCarthy claimed Seagal wanted her to strip.
• Ellen DeGeneres’ nowwife Portia de Rossi says she fled from an audition after Seagal talked about them having “chemistry” and unzipped his pants.
• Actress Regina Simons alleges Seagal raped her when she was 18 after she arrived at his home for what she thought was a wrap party for On Deadly Ground. After the slew of allegations started to surface in 2010, the bloated action hero obtained Russian citizenship in 2016 and skipped off to Putinland.
An investigation into Seagal was opened by the Los Angeles Police Department in 2018, but he has never been prosecuted or convicted for any crime against women, nor has he addressed the claims publicly.
However, his straight-faced defense of Russia isn’t going to help repair his credibility.
