The Emmy Award-winning actress recounted the uncomfortable encounter she had with Seagal once she went to his hotel room.

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,” Margulies told Hutt.
Margulies did not elaborate further on her encounter with Seagal.

“He (Weinstein) 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 her (assistant), daggers. And he looked at me, furious. And he slammed the door. And, of course, I didn’t get the part,” Margulies said.
Weinstein has been accused of sexual misconduct by a number of women following last month’s bombshell exposes that revealed the disgraced producer’s inappropriate behavior. Seagal has been accused of sexual harassment by Jenny McCarthy who claimed the actor asked her to take off her clothes for a movie audition in 1998, People reported. Seagal denied McCarthy’s claims.
