American actress Molly Shannon has alleged she was sexually harassed by “Diff’rent Strokes” actor Gary Coleman years ago.
Shannon, 57, recently appeared on “The Howard Stern Show,” where she opened up about an encounter with Coleman that took place at the Plaza Hotel in 1987.
The incident is also something she details in her new book, “Hello, Molly!”
Speaking of the encounter, Shannon said Coleman invited her up to his hotel suite. She said she was thinking nothing of it.
She said Coleman was relentless in trying to kiss her and get on top of her.
Shannon told Coleman that she was a virgin and she tried to be polite about turning down his advances.
Coleman allegedly only became more aggressive with her.
Gary died in 2014 at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo due to brain hemorrhage. He was taken off life support.
By the time of the incident, Shanon was only 22 while Coleman was 18.
