Another woman has come forward to accuse Steven Seagal of sexual harassment.

Portia de Rossi tweeted that the actor unzipped his pants during an audition for one of his movies. She ran out and called her agent who replied: "Well, I didn't know if he was your type."

Lisa Guerrero, who also recently talked about her "horrible and humiliating" experience with Seagal, tweeted:

And de Rossi's wife, Ellen DeGeneres, expressed her support to the actress:

Mashable has reached out to Seagal's representative and will update this article accordingly.
