Steven Seagal Gets Restraining Order Against ‘Stalker’
Steven Seagal got a temporary restraining order today against a woman who allegedly attacked one of his employees while attempting to get into Seagal’s house.
The request for the TRO — filed and granted in L.A. County Superior Court — refers to Angela Rain Bates, a 55-year-old woman, as a “delusional stalker” who was arrested at Seagal’s home on July 14.
According to the docs, she attacked a groundskeeper and threw rocks through a window of the house before LAPD arrived and took her into custody.
The order requires Bates to stay 100 yards away from Seagal, his family, and the groundskeeper.

Seagal’s Ex-Nanny: He Was a Total Gentleman
Another one of Steven Seagal’s former female employees is finally speaking up, but this time, the woman claims Steven NEVER acted inappropriately toward her — or anyone else — during her employment.
TMZ spoke with Sonam Choezom — who served as Seagal’s nanny in 1996. Choezom tells us she met Seagal through a relative who was active in Tibetan Buddhism.
Choezom tells us soon after they met, Seagal learned that her father was very ill — so he offered to move her from Nepal to the U.S. and employ her as his nanny so she could afford her father’s health care.
Choezom claims once she took the job, Seagal was “always very nice and respectful” — and added that the actor never once made any sort of sexual advance toward her, including massages.
As far as the sexual assault lawsuit against Seagal is concerned, Choezom tells us, “I was very surprised.”

Seagal’s New Accuser — Ray Charles Connection
The Steven Seagal alleged sexual assault scandal now has a Ray Charles connection … — TMZ has learned one of the women who just came forward accusing Seagal of making unwanted sexual advances is Ray’s granddaugher.
As we first reported, two new women have given sworn declarations to back up Kayden Nguyen’s lawsuit against the star. One is Blair Robinson — who claims she first met Seagal at her granddaddy Ray’s funeral in 2004.
According to Robinson, she was invited to Seagal’s home after the funeral — along with her father Ray Charles Jr. – to discuss a job opportunity with the actor.
In the declaration, Blair claims she took a job as Seagal’s assistant one month after the meeting — but on day 1, she claims Seagal came to her room and told her she was required to give him massages. In the docs, Blair also claims Seagal tried teaching her the proper method by massaging her.
In the docs, Blair states, “It became clear to me that he wanted and expected sexual favors as part of my job duties.” Blair claims she quit after the first day.
Seagal’s lawyer, Marty Singer, vehemently denies the accusations and claims Seagal has “no knowledge” of either Blair or the other woman who provided declarations.
Singer added, “The declarations were clearly prepared by Nguyen’s lawyer to be leaked to the media to help bolster his client’s meritless claim

Two More Accusers in Steven Seagal Sex Case
Two more women have come forward claiming Steven Seagal made unwanted sexual advances toward them while they worked for the actor … but Seagal’s lawyer tells a very different story.
TMZ has learned both women have provided Kayden Nguyen with sworn declarations, to aid Nguyen’s lawsuit against Seagal — in which the 23-year-old claims she was sexually assaulted by the actor during her stint as his personal assistant.
In one woman’s declaration, obtained by TMZ, Seagal is accused of luring her into his bedroom, putting his hands on the woman’s breasts and stating that he was “checking just as a doctor would for lumps.”
The declaration continues, “Seagal reached his hand down my pants. He said, ‘I just wanted to touch it for a second to see what it felt like.’”
The woman claims she screamed and cried until Seagal let her go.
Like Nguyen, both women claim they were hired by Seagal to serve as his assistant, but quit after Seagal made inappropriate sexual advances.
TMZ spoke with Seagal’s lawyer, Marty Singer, who tells us, “My client has no knowledge of these women and a preliminary check of his employment records does not show that they ever worked for him.”
Singer also stated that regardless of whether they worked for him or not, their claims are “absurd.”
Singer concluded, “The declarations were clearly prepared by Nguyen’s lawyer to be leaked to the media to help bolster his client’s meritless claims.”
