Diff’rent Strokes legend Gary Coleman is no longer with us, having died in 2010 at the age of 42 due to multiple aneurysms. Probably a good thing he skipped the #MeToo stuff, because former SNL cast member Molly Shannon told a hell of a story on Howard Stern this week about the time she met Gary Coleman…

If you can’t watch it (via People):

At the time, Shannon had just signed with the Diff’rent Strokes star’s agent and was offered the chance to meet him. Shannon says she was invited up to Coleman’s penthouse hotel room alongside their shared agent.

But the mood shifted once the agent left Shannon alone with Coleman, she told Stern.

“I think he was like, ‘Sit down [on the bed].’ It was very sweet,” she recalled. “And then he’s, like, tickling me a little. This and that.”

Shannon said that she was “trying to be polite” toward Coleman, pointing out that she was “a virgin” at the time of the incident. But she told Stern Coleman continued to become more aggressive.

“He was relentless,” she continued. “Then, he was like trying to kiss me and get on top and I was like, ‘No, Gary. Stop.’ So, I push him off. Then, I would get off the bed. Then, he would bounce on the bed. Jump, jump, jump. And wrap himself around me. Then, I would fling him off. And then he got on top of me. I guess because of his size I didn’t feel physically threatened. But … it was going on and on. Repeating. I would throw him off, he would get back on.”

Shannon continued, “… And then finally, I throw him off. I was really getting out of breath because it was athletic and aerobic.”

“He grabs me onto my leg and I was like [trying to] kick him off,” she said. “And then, I go lock myself in the bathroom and then he sticks his hands under the door. And he’s like, ‘I can see you.'” …

“I wish I could have stood up for myself more,” she added.

Obviously this subject matter is NEVER funny but picturing Gary Coleman jumping up and down on a bed and begging for sex is a hilarious mental picture. Still, it must’ve been a very unpleasant and appalling experience, even if Molly says she was never really in danger. He agent seems like a nice guy, doesn’t he? No way he didn’t know that was gonna happen!
