>>> GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY.
GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME.
I'M MEGYN KELLY.
WE HAVE AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
IN MOMENTS WITH A WOMAN WHO
ACCUSES FORMER ACTION STAR
STEVEN SEGALL OF RAPE.
>>> FIRST, FROM THE SENTENCING
OF DR. LARRY NASSAR.
YOU SAW THE SHOW YESTERDAY AND
SAW THESE THREE WOMEN COMING
FORWARD TO TESTIFY IN COURT
AGAINST HIM.
THIS GUY GOT 40 TO 175 YEARS IN
PRISON AFTER MORE THAN 150 YOUNG
WOMEN TESTIFIED HE SEXUALLY
ABUSED THEM.
THIS MORNING THE UNITED STATES
OLYMPIC COMMITTEE IS DEMANDING
THAT THE ENTIRE BOARD OF USA
GYMNASTICS RESIGN.
[ APPLAUSE ]
IT'S REALLY INCREDIBLE.
THE BOARD HAS BEEN GIVEN SIX
DAYS TO DO SO OR THEY WILL LOSE
THEIR STATUS AS THE SPORTS
GOVERNING BODY.
FOR SOME HISTORY YOU CAN LOOK
BACK.
OUR INTERVIEW WITH THE WOMEN IS
ON TODAY.COM/MEGYNTODAY.
THEY TAKE AIM AT USA GYMNASTICS
FOR NOT SUPPORTING THEM AND,
THEY BELIEVE, ALLOWING THIS TO
HAPPEN FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND
YEARS WITH VERY LITTLE INTEREST
TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT.
ONE OF SIX CONDITIONS TO BE MET,
USA GYMNASTICS RESPONDING IN A
STATEMENT THAT READS, IN PART,
USA GYMNASTICS COMPLETELY
EMBRACES THE REQUIREMENTS
OUTLINED.
ALTHOUGH FOR THE RECORD THEY
HADN'T UNTIL TODAY.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE
REQUIREMENTS IMPOSED BY THE
LETTER WILL HELP US ENHANCE OUR
ABILITY TO BUILD A CULTURE OF
EMPOWERMENT THROUGHOUT THE
ORGANIZATION WITH INCREASED
FOCUS ON ATHLETE SAFETY AND
WELL-BEING.
IT'S REALLY INCREDIBLE.
I MEAN, JUST THINK ABOUT THAT.
THE U.S. OLYMPIC COMMITTEE IS
SAYING YOU'RE ALL GONE.
YOU'RE GONE OR YOU'RE DONE.
SUCH A STATEMENT.
IT'S SUCH AN EMPOWERING
STATEMENT.
FINALLY, THESE WOMEN ARE GETTING
SOME SUPPORT.
WE'LL STAY ON TOP OF THIS AS IT
DEVELOPS AND SEE WHAT, IN FACT,
THEY WIND UP DOING.
NOW YET ANOTHER VOICE ADDED TO
THE TITLE WAVE OF ME TOO.
THIS TIME THE ACCUSATIONS COMING
AGAINST ACTOR STEVEN SEGALL.
WOMEN HAVE COME FORWARD WITH
THEIR STORIES OF HIS ALLEGED
SEXUAL MISCONDUCT OVER THE PAST
FEW MONTHS, BUT ONE WOMAN, OUR
GUEST, SAYS SEGALL WENT MUCH
FURTHER THAN JUST HARASSMENT.
SHE CLAIMS HE RAPED HER.
WATCH.
IN THE '80s AND '90s, STEVEN
SEGA LCH
SEGALL WAS IN MOVIES LIKE "HARD
TO KILL."
>> MIND IF I PLAY?
>> AND "FIRE DOWN BELOW."
NOW SEGALL HAS JOINED THE LIST
OF HOLLYWOOD FIGURES ACCUSED OF
SEXUAL MISCONDUCT.
HIGH-PROFILE ACTRESSES,
INCLUDING PORTIA DE ROSSI, JENNY
McCARTHY AND AT LEAST FOUR
OTHERS CAME FORWARD SAYING HE
HAD BEEN SEXUALLY INAPPROPRIATE
WITH THEM.
A REP CAME FORWARD SAYING JENNY
McCARTHY'S CLAIM WAS COMPLETELY
FALSE BUT HASN'T RESPONDED TO
OTHER CLAIMS.
NOW ANOTHER CLAIM AGAINST THE
ACTOR, RAPE.
REGINA SIMONS SAID SHE MET HIM
WHEN SHE WAS JUST 18, IN HIS
EARLY 40s, MARRIED TO MODEL
KELLY LEBROCK AND AT THE PEAK OF
HIS SUCCESS AFTER THE RELEASE OF
1992s "UNDER SIEGE."
SHE MET HIM WHILE AUDITIONING TO
BE AN EXTRA FOR THE NEXT MOVIE
"ON DEADLY GROUND."
SHE GOT THE PART.
WHEN SHOOTING ENDED SHE SAYS HE
INVITED HER TO A WRAP PARTY BUT
WHEN SHE ARRIVED SHE SAYS SHE
WAS THE ONLY ONE THERE.
HERE TO TELL THE REST OF HER
STORY IS REGINA SIMONS.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
>> I WANT TO START WITH THIS.
YOU'VE TAKEN THIS STORY TO THE
POLICE, YES?
>> YES.
>> L.A. POLICE OR BEVERLY HILLS?
>> L.A. FIRST, THEN THE
JURISDICTION WAS MOVED TO
BEVERLY HILLS.
>> BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE IT
HAPPENED?
>> RIGHT.
>> OKAY.
THE POLICE WOULD NOT CONFIRM
DIRECTLY WHETHER THEY'RE LOOKING
INTO THIS SPECIFIC CLAIM.
WE DO KNOW THAT THE L.A. POLICE
HAVE CONFIRMED THEY'RE LOOKING
INTO AT LEAST ONE CLAIM AGAINST
HIM AND BEVERLY HILLS CONFIRMED
THAT THIS REPORT HAS BEEN MADE.
AND TWO OTHER INDIVIDUALS CLOSE
WITH REGINA HAVE CONFIRMED TO US
THAT SHE BROUGHT THIS STORY TO
THEM ABOUT A YEAR AFTER IT
HAPPENED, BACK IN 1993.
SO, HE BRINGS YOU -- YOU'RE 18
YEARS OLD WHEN THIS HAPPENS, SO
YOU'RE YOUNG.
WHEN YOU WALKED INTO -- WAS IT
HIS HOUSE?
>> I BELIEVE IT WAS HIS HOUSE.
HE WAS THERE.
IT WAS STEVEN WHO ANSWERED THE
DOOR.
YEAH.
HE LET ME IN THROUGH THE GATE
AND WAS STANDING AT THE DOORWAY.
IMMEDIATELY I ASKED HIM WHERE
EVERYONE ELSE WAS FOR THIS WRAP
PARTY.
AND HE SAID THAT EVERYONE HAD
LEFT.
AND HE SAID HE WANTED TO SHOW ME
SOMETHING AND TOOK ME INTO WHAT
SEAMED TO BE A BEDROOM.
THERE WAS A BED IN THERE AND
THEN CLOSED THE DOOR AND TRIED
TO KISS ME AND TOOK MY CLOTHES
OFF AND BEFORE I KNEW IT, HE WAS
ON TOP OF ME.
AND I COULDN'T MOVE.
I JUST COMPLETELY FROZE.
AND EVEN FELT LIKE I LEFT MY
BODY.
WAS JUST -- I KNOW I WAS CRYING.
I KNOW THERE WERE TEARS COMING
DOWN MY FACE.
THERE WAS NO -- ANYTHING FROM
HIM TO EVEN SEE IF I WAS OKAY
OR -- IT WAS -- YEAH.
>> FROM THE MOMENT YOU WALKED
INTO THAT DOOR TO THE MOMENT
YOU'RE THERE, HE'S ON TOP OF
YOU.
YOU'RE CRYING.
HOW MUCH TIME HAD PASSED?
>> EVERYTHING SEEMED PRETTY
QUICK.
THERE WAS NOT A LOT OF TIME TO
EVEN PROCESS WHAT HAD HAPPENED
OR CERTAINLY, IN MY MIND, I WAS
NOT THERE FOR ANYTHING OTHER
THAN TO, YOU KNOW, NETWORK AND
MEET OTHER INDUSTRY PEOPLE, AND
IT COMPLETELY CAUGHT ME OFF
GUARD.
IT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS VERY QUICK.
>> WHEN IT WAS HAPPENING, DO YOU
REMEMBER LOOKING AROUND?
DO YOU REMEMBER THE SETTING
AROUND YOU?
>> I DO.
I REMEMBER JUST -- MY GAZE WENT
TO A TABLE OR A NIGHT STAND.
AND I SAW A PICTURE OF -- AT THE
TIME I DIDN'T KNOW WHO SHE WAS,
BUT COULD ONLY MAKE THE
CONNECTION THAT IT WAS THE LADY
FROM "WEIRD SCIENCE."
AND NOW KNOWING THAT WAS KELLY
LEBROCK.
>> HIS WIFE AT THE TIME.
>> I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
FOR WHATEVER REASON, I JUST SORT
OF -- THAT WAS WHAT I REMEMBER,
JUST SORT OF STARING AT THAT
PICTURE AND WANTING HIM TO STOP
AND WANTING TO BE OUT OF THERE.
>> DO YOU THINK HE KNEW THAT YOU
WERE NOT A WILLING PARTICIPANT?
>> I DON'T KNOW HOW SOMEBODY
DOESN'T KNOW THAT.
I KNOW WHAT CONSENT IS AND THAT
WAS DEFINITELY NOT CONSENSUAL.
THERE WAS NO ASKING ME IF THIS
WAS OKAY OR -- IT JUST WAS VERY
PREDATORY, VERY AGGRESSIVE AND
TRAUMATIZING.
>> WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE
HAPPEN TO HIM?
>> ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
FOR ME, I KNOW THIS TYPE OF
BEHAVIOR AND ABUSE CONTINUES IN
SILENCE, WHICH IS WHY I CAME
FORWARD, IS TO CALL OUT MY
ABUSER.
AND LET HIM KNOW THIS IS NOT
OKAY.
AND HOPEFULLY THERE COULD BE
SOME CHANGE IN THERE, BUT AT
LEAST TO LET ABUSERS KNOW THAT,
NO, THIS IS NOT OKAY.
THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR IS NOT
OKAY.
>> HAS REAL CONSEQUENCES.
>> YEAH.
>> SHE'S NOT ALONE.
IF YOU READ THE REPORTS OF THE
OTHER WOMEN WHO HAVE ACCUSED
STEVEN SEAGAL, THERE'S A
REPEATED PATTERN ALLEGED OF HIM
EXPOSING HIMSELF TO YOUNG WOMEN,
DURING A CASTING CALL, UPON
FIRST MEETING, ACTRESSES WELL
KNOWN AND NOT WELL KNOWN, WHO
WERE ALLEGEDLY SUBJECTED TO THIS
KIND OF BEHAVIOR, PERHAPS NOT
THIS EXTREME, BUT ALONG THE
SPECTRUM LEADING TO THIS.
AND IT TAKES A LOT OF GUTS TO
COME OUT AND SPEAK PUBLICLY
ABOUT IT.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
>> CONTINUE TO FOLLOW
