Jeremy Piven, 52, is being blamed for forcibly touching a performing artist on the arrangement of HBO's Entourage in 2009, claims Buzzfeed News. Anastasia Taneie, now 30 years of age,has come forward claiming that during her time working on the series, Jeremy allegedly grabbed her up against a wall in a dark hallway. "I was frightened at the time no one would trust me. I would not like to make a scene. I simply needed to go home," Anastasia told the outlet, including, "It was the most terrible thing I've ever experienced."

According to Anastasia, Jeremy only stopped groping her when an Assistant Director came down the dark hallway. The actress claims that it was then Jeremy asked the AD to have her removed from the set for “coming on” to him. Buzzfeed News claims they have reached out to a number of Assistant Directors who worked on Entourage that season, but they weren’t able to confirm Anastasia’s claim.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time Jeremy has been accused of inappropriate behavior. Previously, two other women have come forward claiming that Jeremy sexually assaulted them. One woman, Tiffany Bacon Scourby, has accused Jeremy of forcibly masturbating on top of her inside a hotel room, while the other, Ariane Bellemar, accused him of groping her on more than one occasion. Jeremy has since adamantly denied both Tiffany and Ariane’s allegations, saying in a statement: “Let me be absolutely clear, this simply did not happen. I would never force myself on a woman, ever. I cannot speak as to why a person would create a story like this.”
