‘I have no problem talking s**t about him’: Charlize Theron SLAMS ‘incredibly overweight’ Steven Seagal because he’s ‘not very nice to women’
It’s the Hollywood feud no one saw coming.
Charlize Theron, 44, has taken aim at Steven Seagal, 68, in a scathing interview with Howard Stern on Monday, singling the action veteran out for being ‘not very nice to women’.
Calling the actor ‘incredible overweight,’ Charlize explained ‘I have no problem talking s*** about him because he’s not very nice to women, so f*** you.’

Asked how she preps for her action projects, the Monster actress explained to Stern that she had been watching YouTube clips of Seagal fighting during Aikido (a Japanese martial art) tournaments around the world – and was not impressed by what she saw.
‘At night I’ll go online to watch fighters or watch people fight and you always come across that odd Seagal video of him ‘fighting’ in Japan, but he really isn’t.’
‘He’s just incredibly overweight and pushing people. He’s overweight and can barely fight … look it up, it’s ridiculous. He’s shoving people by the face. It’s a whole setup.’
Justifying her words, Charlize added: ‘I have no problem talking s**t about him because he’s not very nice to women so f**k you!’

Seagal has been accused on multiple occasions of sexual assault and sexual harassment.
In 2017, actress Portia de Rossi, with whom Theron worked on Arrested Development, tweeted,
‘My final audition for a Steven Segal [sic] 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.’

Jenny McCarthy has previously accused the On Deadly Ground actor of asking her to undress during an audition for Under Siege 2.
Speaking on her SirusXM radio show in 2017, the former Playboy Playmate claimed Seagal told her, ‘You know, this part has nudity in it and I can’t really tell what your body looks like in that dress that you’re wearing.’
Warner Bros., the studio behind the 1995 action film, subsequently denied McCarthy ever auditioned.

In early 2018, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office acknowledged that it was reviewing a potential sex abuse case involving Seagal.
In the same interview, Charlize set the record straight on her brief relationship with Sean Penn.
She revealed Monday on The Howard Stern show that she and Penn were never engaged, despite reports that he popped the question in Paris back in November of 2014.
The star addressed the rumors: ‘What? That’s not true. no. I did not ‘almost get married to Sean,’ that’s such bulls***. No, we dated, that was literally all we did, we dated.’

She continued: ‘It was a relationship, for sure. We were definitely exclusive, but it was for barely a year. We never moved in. I was never going to marry him. It was nothing like that.’
Theron began dating Penn, 59, back in December of 2013, later breaking it off in June of 2015.
Us Weekly reported in December of 2014 that the couple secretly got engaged in Paris, a source saying: ‘There’s no ring, but they are committed.’

She told Vogue earlier that year: ‘Let’s put it this way: I never had the dream of the white dress. And watching other people getting married? I think it’s beautiful for them, but to be quite honest, usually I’m sitting there just devastated.’
When Stern asked about her desires to get married, she responded: ‘I never wanted to get married. That’s never been something that’s important to me. On the lives of my children, I’ve never been lonely. I’ve never felt alone.’
She added: ‘My life right now just doesn’t allow a lot of room for something like that to happen. But in saying that, there’s not this thing that drives me [to have a romantic relationship].’
Last January, Theron was subject of another romantic rumor that she was dating Brad Pitt, 56, before a source told E! News that it wasn’t true.
The insider said: ‘They know each other, but it doesn’t go beyond that. They aren’t dating and never were.’
