The 44-year-old actor, wife of TV personality Ellen Degeneres, posted on Twitter that she met Seagal for an audition for a film role at his office where he sexually harassed her.
"My final audition for a Steven Seagal movie took place in his office. He told me how important it was to have chemistry off-screen as he sat me down and unzipped his leather pants.
"I ran out and called my agent. Unfazed, she replied, 'Well, I didn't know if he was your type'," Rossi posted on Twitter.
In an interview with Jenny Hutt on SiriusXM, Margulies recalled an alleged meeting, set up by a female casting director, with Seagal, where he was armed with a gun.
"I got to the hotel around 10:40, and she wasn't there. And he was alone and he made sure that I saw his gun, which I had never seen a gun in real life.
"I got out of there unscathed... I never was raped, and I never was harmed. I don't know how I got out of that hotel room," the actor had said.
