Lawsuit against Steven Seagal put on hold
April 24th, 2010 - 3:48 pm ICT by ANIWashington, April 24 (ANI): A lawsuit that had been brought against actor Steven Seagal by a former employee has been put on hold, after his lawyer went to court with a motion to compel arbitration.
Seagal, 58, was sued by Kayden Nguyen, who alleges the actor sexually harassed her and that he is involved in sexual trafficking of females, reports Radar Online.
LA lawyer Marty Singer won an order on April 22 to stay the lawsuit until a motion to move the entire matter to arbitration can be heard on May 27.
In addition, Seagal’s side agreed to stay their arbitration against Nguyen pending the hearing.
Singer has contended all along that the action belongs in arbitration not Los Angeles Superior court and he went to court with an ex parte application to freeze the lawsuit until a hearing to determine if the entire action should be removed into arbitration. (ANI)
