Chris Kattan Says Lorne Michaels Pressured Him to Have Sex With 'Night At The Roxbury' Director

Chris Kattan is raising an accusation against his former Saturday Night Live boss, Lorne Michaels.

The 48-year-old actor opened up in his memoir Baby Don’t Hurt Me: Stories & Scars From Saturday Night Live.

In the memoir, Chris accused Lorne of pressuring him to have sex with A Night At The Roxbury‘s then-director Amy Heckerling to try and keep her attached to the project.

“I was attracted to Amy, but at the same time very afraid of the power she and Lorne wielded over my career,” he wrote.

One night after working prior to the movie’s filming, she allegedly asked him to have sex.

“I was shocked. Was she joking?” he wrote. He “tried to keep it light…the conversation ended there.”

Lorne called him the next day, and said that “Paramount would only do the movie if Amy signed on as a director, not as producer,” and if he “wanted to make sure the movie happened, then [he] had to keep Amy happy.”

He reportedly said: “Chris, I’m not saying you have to f–k her, but it wouldn’t hurt.”

He ultimately went through with it: “I was too scared. The last thing I wanted was to have someone hear Lorne say ‘career ender’ about me. To this day, whenever I think about that conversation with Lorne, I still feel repellingly pathetic,” he wrote.

“She thought it would be fun to have sex on Lorne’s desk. I said a polite ‘F–k, no!’ to that, so we ended up going to her office and having sex on… yep, you guessed it, the ‘casting couch.’”

John Fortenberry ultimately stepped in as director.

Chris Kattan Says He Broke His Neck During an 'SNL' Sketch

Chris Kattan claims he broke his neck while performing in a sketch on Saturday Night Live back in 2001.

The actor, now 48, says that the injury almost paralyzed him and he’s opening up about the years of addiction struggles that came after in his new memoir “Baby Don’t Hurt Me: Stories and Scars from Saturday Night Live.”

Chris provided an excerpt to Variety and opened up to them about the incident, which he says happened during a Golden Girls sketch in the May 12, 2001 episode. He fell back in his chair as he said was planned and hit his head. Despite his requests for a different chair to make the moment safer, he claims his requests weren’t fulfilled.

After experiencing pain in the weeks and months that followed, Chris assumed it would eventually go away. He finally went to get it checked out a year later after guidance from a chiropractor, though he says he never really asked for help from NBC. When he tried looking into workers’ compensation years later, he was told it was too late.

“NBC had stopped paying my medical costs after the second surgery,” Chris writes in the book. “The SNL family I was part of had stopped taking care of me, and soon I wasn’t able to pay for everything myself. But I never really fought for myself or demanded anything. I never thought about the potential legal ramifications of what had happened to me on the set and what was happening now. I had been brought up to be responsible for myself. I wasn’t about to sue anybody. I never wanted to be that person: spending my life debilitated and fighting a network. I wanted to hide everything, pretending I was okay and in good enough shape to be go out in public and be social.”

He added, “Even today, I still can’t open my hand wide enough to use my fingers normally on the keyboard. The impact that my injury and subsequent surgeries had on my career was immense, but more importantly, the fallout proved to be devastating to some of the closest relationships in my life.”

Chris left Saturday Night Live in 2003 after seven years on the show. You can read more about what happened on Variety.com.

Emma Stone Describes Woody Allen's Unique Way of Working

Emma Stone hits the red carpet at the premiere of her new movie Irrational Man on Thursday night (July 9) in Los Angeles.

The 26-year-old actress was joined by her co-stars Joaquin Phoenix and Parker Posey, as well as Adrien Brody (with girlfriend Lara Lieto) and Chris Kattan.

Emma opened up to Variety that night about director Woody Allen‘s unique way of making movies.

“You don’t have rehearsals, you don’t have a cast read-through, you know on the first day you’re shot out of a cannon,” Emma said. “I think he sees the tone in his head and he finds it as it goes, so he’s the only director I’ve ever worked with who reshoots as he’s shooting. So you’ll show up and he’ll say we need to reshoot the scene from yesterday. We’re lucky because Parker and I have both done a fair amount of improv, so that live-wire environment is exciting to me.”

FYI: Emma is wearing a Giambattista Valli dress, Paul Andrew shoes, a Salvatore Ferragamo clutch, Jennifer Meyer earrings, and Jennifer Fisher rings. Lara is wearing a Dsquared2 dress. The screening and party were sponsored by Svedka Vodka.
