An actress who says she filed a report with the LAPD about the matter last month has gone public with allegations that she was raped by action film star Steven Seagal during the making of his 1994 flick, 'On Deadly Ground.'
Regina Simons, 43, was an 18-year-old aspiring to break into Hollywood when she landed a part as an extra in the movie. She recounts Seagal getting touchy-feely during the day of her casting, saying he offered her a massage after she complained of having a headache.
Sometime later that year--1993, Simons claims she was invited to the actor's Beverly Hills home, nothing when she got there, she was caught off guard by the fact that there was nobody else present.
“He took me into this room and then just closed the door and started kissing me,” Simons recounts. “He then took my clothes off, and before I knew it he was on top of me, raping me … I wasn’t sexually active yet. People always talk about fight-or-flight. But no one talks about the freeze.”
Simons says that she chose to keep the incident to herself and those closest to her, including a roommate who fielded Seagal's attempts to contact her at the time, until she finally managed to get him to stop calling. Along with that, Simons told her Mormon bishop, who has since corroborated her story.
Simons reportedly filed her report at around the same time former model Faviola Dadis, who has in the past publicly claimed she was groped by Seagal, officially filed her complaint with the LAPD. Simons and Dadis join a multitude of other women who have charged Seagal with sexual misconduct; Portia de Rossi, Julianna Margulies, and Jenny McCarthy among them.
