"Entourage" star Jeremy Piven, who is facing a string of sexual harassment allegations, has been accused of groping by another woman.

Detailing her experience, Anastasia Taneie, who worked on the show as an extra, told Buzzfeed that Piven, during a break in filming in a theater in LA, asked her that he and his manager wanted to speak to her about something.

When she followed Piven to the hallway, the actor assaulted her.

"I was scared at the time nobody was going to believe me. I didn't want to make a scene. I just wanted to go home. It was the most horrible thing I've ever experienced," Taneie said.
 

Two other women, Amy Meador and Tiffany Bacon Scourby, also alleged harassment from Piven.

Meador alleged that Piven pinned her down in his Los Angeles home in 1995 and forced himself on her. While Scourby alleged misconduct from Piven during their meeting at a New York hotel in 2003.

The Buzzfeed report also mentions that the actor took a lie detector test on November 14 where he categorically denied the accusations from Meador and Bacon Scourby, calling them "false". According to the examiner, Piven passed the test.

The "Entourage" actor was earlier accused of sexual misconduct by TV actor Ariane Bellamar, who alleged that he groped her.

Piven has denied all the allegations, calling them "absolutely false and completely fabricated".
