Actress Portia de Rossi claimed Wednesday that action star Steven Seagal harassed her by unzipping his pants during a private office audition.

De Rossi tweeted that it took place at her final audition for an unspecified project with the action star.

"He told me how important it was to have chemistry off-screen as he sat me down and unzipped his leather pants," de Rossi wrote. "I ran out and called my agent."

The agent was "unfazed," de Rossi tweeted. "She replied, 'Well, I didn’t know if he was your type.' "

Wife Ellen DeGeneres supported de Rossi with a retweet of the account, adding, "I'm proud of my wife."

USA TODAY reached out to representatives for Seagal and de Rossi for comment on the allegations. Neither has responded.

Last week, The Good Wife actress Julianna Margulies told SiriusXM’s Jenny Hutt that she had a similar incident with Seagal when she was 23.

Seagal requested to go over a movie scene with her in his hotel room. Once she arrived at 10:40 p.m., the female assistant who said she would be there was gone.

"He made sure that I saw his gun, which I had never seen a gun in real life," Margulies alleged in the interview. "And I got out of there unscathed ... I sorta screamed my way out."
