What Happened To Jeremy Piven?
Film actress and reality television personality Ariane Bellamar on October 30, 2017, made accusations via Twitter that Piven had groped her.
The next day, Piven responded to the allegations, writing: “I unequivocally deny the appalling allegations being peddled about me. It did not happen”.
Cassidy Freeman came to Bellamar’s defense in an Instagram post, stating that Piven engaged in “predatory behavior” toward her when she was “far too young”. On November 9, advertising executive Tiffany Bacon Scourby alleged that Piven had attacked her in 2003, stating that he had “jumped on” her, “exposed his genitals, held her hands down, and began rubbing against her body until he ejaculated”.
Piven responded to the allegations, calling them “absolutely false and completely fabricated”. A representative for Piven said the actor was “looking at legal options”.
