[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content] Shanna Moakler is speaking out with new allegations against Steven Seagal. Moakler, now 50, is reflecting on an experience she claims happened when she was just 18 years old and trying to break into the industry. According to her, Seagal - who was of course a major action star at the time - lured her to Los Angeles under the promise of an audition for one of his films. But instead of a legitimate career opportunity, she alleged she found herself in a private and uncomfortable situation that had nothing to do with acting.

Moakler began by claiming: "That man felt my boobies - my 18-year-old little boobies - that's disgusting." WTF?! Then, she added: "That I think is the most frustrating thing for me is how many people just prey on the hopes and dreams of young girls." Moakler went on to claim that Seagal, who was around 41 at the time, flew her from New York to El Lay. Once there, he allegedly told her that he could help with back problems she was experiencing. But what she thought might be professional concern allegedly turned into something else entirely: "He flew me when I was like 18-years-old from New York to LA. He was like, 'you should take off your top and lay on the bed,' and I was just like, 'umm.'" She said she remembered hearing children playing in the background, which made her assume things wouldn't escalate. That detail is haunting, because it speaks to how young and trusting she was, and how calculated the situation may have been. She went on to add: "So he was like, 'I'll give you acupuncture.' I was like, 'okay.' He's like, 'Take off your top. Lay on the bed.' So I did. He did do a couple acupuncture things and then was like, 'Okay, I'm just going to give you a massage now.' And he was like, 'you can sit up.' And I remember sitting there with my top off and he was massaging me." At some point, Moakler claimed she tried to steer things back to why she was there in the first place: her career. What she alleged next is the kind of disillusionment that stays with someone for decades: "I was so incredibly uncomfortable - and I was like, 'well, when are we going to read for a part in your movie?' And he just gave me a fake script or something that had nothing to do with anything that he had planned. Of course there was no job, and I ended up flying back home just feeling like ... it's disgusting! It's so disgusting!" Looking back now, Moakler says what angers her most is how her ambition was allegedly exploited by someone who held real power in Hollywood at the time: "It pisses me off, Claudia, so much because this is where it's so disgusting, like you're just f**king with someone's dream. And trusted someone who's an established person in Los Angeles. You would never think. Especially being invited into their home, the kids are in the background." She didn't hold back when talking about Seagal, either, suggesting that the modern era has caught up with him in more ways than one. "Have you seen this motherf**ker recently too? Have you seen this disgusting human being? Like, that's karma." And finally, she delivered a blunt message directly to him that left little room for interpretation: "You can go f**k yourself, that's what you can do." Yeesh! These are not easy allegations to hear, and they add to a long list of troubling stories that have followed Seagal over the years. More than anything, Moakler's account is a reminder of how vulnerable young people can be when fame dangles opportunity in front of them - and how long it can take to finally speak up about it.
