Los Angeles: Actor Jeremy Piven has been hit with fresh allegations of sexual misconduct. Three more women have come forward with their stories of abuse at the hands of the Entourage star, who has already been accused of misbehaviour by five women.
According to a report from BuzzFeed News, the women alleged that they experienced aggressive sexual advances from Piven.
One women, a background actor, claimed that the actor forcefully pinned her down on a couch after following her to the trailer, while another woman said Piven turned physically aggressive with her during an intimate encounter.
The third woman said the actor pushed her against a wall and tried to force her to engage in sexual intercourse. The incidents occurred between 1985 and 1996. Piven has denied the fresh set of allegations.
"As evidenced by the lie detector test I took and passed, I have never forced myself on anyone, nor have I ever exposed myself or restrained anyone against their will. To the contrary, if any woman ever said no, I stopped," he added.
Piven had denied the allegations that surfaced against him in November last year, calling them "absolutely false and completely fabricated".
The earliest account comes from Susan McCain Olson, who was in high school when she landed a job as an extra on the set of Lucas. The movie that would be the 17-year-old Piven's first film role. Lucas also starred Charlie Sheen, Winona Ryder and Corey Haim. After she pushed Piven off, McCain Olson says, she left the trailer. "I saw him around after because we were on the same set but he never spoke to me," she says. "Does it suck that it happened? Yes. Did it ruin my life? No. But he did it."
