“Entourage” star Jeremy Piven is being accused of sexual misconduct by three more women, dating from 1985 to 1996, according to BuzzFeed.
In a story published by BuzzFeed Saturday, a background actor working on a film with Piven in 1985 said the actor followed her to a trailer and pinned her to the sofa. In 1994, another woman told BuzzFeed Piven pushed her against a wall in a Montreal hotel room and tried to force her to have sex. And in 1996, a third woman who was an extra on the sitcom “Ellen” — which Piven starred on at the time — said a romantic encounter with the actor got physically aggressive and left her feeling threatened after he exposed himself.

Piven denied the allegations to BuzzFeed, as he did to similar allegations in November, calling the women’s accounts “works of fiction,” and adding that BuzzFeed’s story was “conjured up in an opportunistic effort to capitalize on the current media storm in order to obtain attention and/or money.”
“These allegations, which in one case goes back more than 30 years and the two others more than 20 years ago, are false,” Piven told BuzzFeed for the current round of accusations. “As evidenced by the lie detector test I took and passed, I have never forced myself on anyone, nor have I ever exposed myself or restrained anyone against their will. To the contrary, if any woman ever said no, I stopped.”
Attorneys for the actor have threatened legal action against BuzzFeed News over the current story.
