Either Steven Seagal is being set up or he should have kept the Fire Down Below out.

The action-drama star was slapped with charges of unwelcome sexual advances by Patricia Nichols, a woman who assisted him in 1999 when he tried to launch a music career.

Ms. Nichols claims the pony-tail kicker made sexual advances towards her in addition to calling her obscene and deragatory names. All he remembers is "exchanged pleasantries."

During his testimony, a furious Steve said he was "embarrassed to be here today for this fabrication. Everybody knows I'm being shaken down," he said.

He said, she said, but one this is for certain. He's Out For Justice.
