Actress Haley Webb has accused Kevin Sorbo of sexual harassment. Webb tweeted yesterday that Sorbo “pressured” her in a bid to try and make her have sex with him and publicly shamed her on set when she refused.
She also claimed that Sorbo tried to get the director of a film in which they co-starred to “add unnecessary sex scenes” between the two of them.
I don't think the person who repeatedly tried to pressure his 3 decades younger co-star into sleeping with him, publicly shame her on set when she refused to and insist the director add unnecessary sex scenes between us should be flapping his gums about feminism. https://t.co/7kfb8sZvD2

Webb made the accusation on Twitter yesterday after Sorbo took to the social media site on Tuesday, June 18, to allege that feminists were not defending the outgoing White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders because she isn’t liberal.
“Not one feminist has defended Sarah Sanders,” Sorbo tweeted. “It seems women’s rights only matter if those women are liberal.”

And, a guy who wraps himself in the Bible and Jesus to excuse how horrible he acts — exactly the kind of guy the Jesus of the New Testament denounced. I have NEVER liked him, back to Hercules. Good for you, Haley.
