Charlize Theron is revealing one celebrity she really does not like (in fact, she told him “f*ck you” during her recent interview!) That actor is Steven Seagal.
Steven Seagal was accused of sexual harassment by multiple women over the years and the LAPD actually investigated him in 2018.
“I have no problem talking sh*t about him because he’s not very nice to women, so f*ck you,” Charlize said of Seagal. She then added that she has watched some of his action movie clips, saying, “He’s overweight and can barely fight … look it up, it’s ridiculous. He’s shoving people by the face. It’s a whole setup.”
Charlize also just recently shot down rumors that she was engaged to this very famous actor.
Steven Seagal is now under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department following sexual harassment accusations that come from multiple women, including Jenny McCarthy.

The police department confirmed the news to TheWrap, but said that no other information is available at this time.
Jenny previously recalled back in November of 2017 during a SiriusXM radio show that Steven allegedly tried to make her get naked during an audition, even though the script didn’t call for nudity.
“You know what he says to me? ‘Well, there is off-camera nudity,’” she said.
He denied this claim.
Portia de Rossi and Julianna Margulies have also spoken out against Steven.
He was first publicly accused of misconduct and harassment by Inside Edition correspondent Lisa Guerrero.
Jenny McCarthy is recalling how she was sexually harassed by Steven Seagal during an audition, in light of other recent accusations made against him.
The radio show host, who first told the story to Movieline back in 1998, says Steven requested her to take off her clothes during the audition.
“So I stand across from him and he plops onto a sofa that’s near a fireplace – of course it is – and taps the sofa cushion next to him saying, ‘Take a seat. Relax,’” she said during her Sirius XM Radio show.
Jenny added that he then said, “You know, this part has nudity in it and I can’t really tell what your body looks like in that dress that you’re wearing.”
“But I so wanted to legitimately read for this part that I wasn’t gonna give up yet. So I told him, I said, ‘Listen. My agent says there’s no nudity. I specifically asked her and she said no.’ And you know what he says to me? ‘Well, there is off-camera nudity,’” Jenny added.
She says she promptly left the audition but Steven followed her and threatened, “Don’t tell anybody or else.”
Steven‘s spokesperson has since denied the claims.
Portia de Rossi has bravely come forward with a story about what happened when she met with Steven Seagal in regards to a movie.
“My final audition for a Steven Segal movie took place in his office,” Portia wrote on her Twitter account. “He told me how important it was to have chemistry off-screen as he sat me down and unzipped his leather pants. I ran out and called my agent. Unfazed, she replied, ‘well, I didn’t know if he was your type.’”
Portia‘s wife Ellen DeGeneres took to Twitter after Portia revealed her story and wrote, “I’m proud of my wife.”

Julianna Margulies is opening up about some scary experiences she had with Harvey Weinstein and Steven Seagal.
The 51-year-old The Good Wife actress recalled the encounters while making an appearance on SiriusXM Studios.
“When I was 23, a casting director, a woman, said, ‘Steven Seagal wants to go over the scene with you in his hotel room at 10 o’clock at night.’…I got to the hotel at 10:40, and she wasn’t there. And he was. Alone. And he made sure that I saw his gun, which I had never seen a gun in real life. And I got out of there unscathed…I never was raped. And I never was harmed. And I don’t know how I got out of that hotel room…I sorta screamed my way out,” she explained.
Julianna added that she had a close call with Harvey at his hotel room too, saying, “He opened the door, in a bathrobe. I could see that there were candles lit in the room, and there was a dinner for two. And I saw him stare at [my assistant], daggers…And he looked at me, furious…And he slammed the door. And, of course, I didn’t get the part.”
Julianna also said that she’s so glad that everyone is sharing their stories now.
“I think one thing people forget about women, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. When we band together the voice isn’t going to die. We’re not brushing anything under the rug anymore. We’re not shrugging this off,” Julianna said.
