Molly Shannon recalls being sexually harassed by Gary Coleman, the former child actor famed for his role in the sitcom Diff'rent Strokes.

Molly Shannon alleges "relentless" Gary Coleman sexually harassed her

Shannon told Howard Stern she met the late Diff'rent Strokes star at his penthouse hotel room alongside their shared agent. When the agent left them alone, she says Coleman started becoming sexually aggressive. "He was relentless," she says. "Then, he was like trying to kiss me and get on top and I was like, 'No, Gary. Stop.' So, I push him off. Then, I would get off the bed. Then, he would bounce on the bed. Jump, jump, jump. And wrap himself around me. Then, I would fling him off. And then he got on top of me. I guess because of his size I didn't feel physically threatened. But ... it was going on and on. Repeating. I would throw him off, he would get back on." Shannon says she had to lock herself in the bathroom "and then he sticks his hands under the door. And he's like, 'I can see you.'" Shannon says she escaped by running out of the hotel room.

While a horrible experience from Molly this scene hilariously reminds me of a Chucky movie.

Always good to come forward after someone's dead.

I'm guessing that it happened before then. Besides, that story didn't seem to have any connection to Saturday Night Live.
