Gary Busey has denied allegations that he groped two women earlier this month at the “Monster-Mania” convention in Cherry Hill, NJ.
The 78-year-old actor was recently charged with two counts of criminal sexual contact, one count of criminal attempt/criminal sexual contact and one count of harassment after allegedly touching two fans inappropriately.
However, he told TMZ on Monday that “nothing happened” to the two women who accused him, adding that he had “no regrets” about the way he acted at the convention.
“It was all false,” he claimed when asked if the allegations were true. “I don’t care because there are no accusations.”
The ‘Under Siege’ actor went on to add that interacting with the ‘two girls lasted less than 10 seconds’ before ‘they left’.
“Then they made their story,” he claimed, before claiming that “his partner and the camerawoman” were his witnesses, reiterating that “nothing happened.”
On Friday, the actor was charged after allegedly interacting with two women at the horror convention. Despite no details about the incident being released, Cherry Hill Police Lt. Robert Scheunemann that “It was about contact. It was about touch,” according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The outlet also reported that the police received multiple complaints about his behaviour.
In a strange turn of events, on Sunday, paparazzi caught Busey pulling his pants down in a California public park — a day after he was charged.
In the video, he was sitting on a bench in Point Dume Park in Malibu with his sweatpants around his knees.
His hands were crossed over his legs before he unbuttoned his pants to pull them back up.
It’s unclear why Busey was half-naked, but it’s not the first time he’s done so in public. He reportedly did the same several times during his participation in the UK version of “Celebrity Big Brother” in 2014.
At the time, Busey explained that his “bad knee” compelled him, adding, “If my knee pops out on the side, I sit down and fasten the knee.
Busey’s representatives did not immediately return requests for comment and police said the investigation was still ongoing.
