THE woman who has accused actor Steven Seagal of using her as a "sex toy" after she was hired to be his assistant once appeared on a US talk show where she claimed she could "trick men", TMZ reports.
Kayden Nguyen, who is suing American action star Seagal for US$1 million for sexual harassment, made the statement on an episode of The Tyra Banks Show in 2009.
In the episode, titled The Gay Kingdom, the self-proclaimed "lipstick lesbian" bragged, “I can use my sex appeal to get any girl that I want and trick any guy to getting what I want.”
Ms Nguyen, 23, filed a lawsuit on Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court claiming Seagal, 58, hired her as a personal assistant and then expected her to be “on call for sex”.
She claims Seagal flew her to New Orleans in February after hiring her but then treated her as a “sex toy”.
The legal documents claim Seagal had two female Russian attendants on staff "who were available for his sexual needs 24 hours a day, seven days a week".
When one decided to leave, Ms Nguyen was hired to replace her.
It also claims that Ms Nguyen was required "to watch as 'Sasha' (the Russian attendant) and Seagal performed sex acts on each other".
Seagal used Craigslist to hire Ms Nguyen in Los Angeles and flew her to New Orleans where he is filming a reality TV show.
Ms Nguyen claims on her first night of work, Seagal allegedly engaged in physical and sexual assault by "pushing his hands under her shirt and attempting to fondle her bare breast," and "forcing her head against his bare chest."
The next morning he allegedly "forcibly held her legs apart" and "forced his hand down her pants."
Later, when Ms Nguyen left the house Seagal allegedly chased her as she ran to a cab while holding a flashlight with a gun attached to it.
Seagal has not responded to the claims.
