CBS is “Looking into” sexual harassment allegations leveled by reality star Ariane Bellamar against Jeremy Piven.
Late Tuesday, Piven “Unequivocally” denied allegations of groping leveled by Bellamar on Monday.
In his statement, Piven wrote that the incidents Bellamar described “Did not happen” and that he hopes the allegations don’t detract from stories that “Should be heard.”
Although best known for his work on HBO’s “Entourage” and the British drama series “Mr. Selfridge,” Jeremy Piven, 52, is a leading member of one of Chicago’s most storied and illustrious theatrical families.
A graduate of Evanston Township High School, he is the son of the late Byrne and Joyce Piven, both actors and also the founders of the Evanston-based Piven Theatre Workshop, a leading theater school for young people and also still a producing non-profit theater with a loyal following dating back 45 years.
Jeremy Piven’s sister is Shira Piven, who is married to the director and producer Adam McKay.
Bellamar added in a third tweet that Piven had grabbed her breasts and buttocks in a separate incident at the Playboy Mansion.
