Dustin Hoffman has been accused of exposing himself to a 16-year-old girl.

The woman, Cori Thomas, has alleged that Hoffman removed his towel in front of her after showing in a hotel.

She is friends with the actor’s daughter, Carina.

Thomas told Variety that she was waiting for her mother to collect her from the hotel when the alleged incident occurred.

She said:

“He was standing there naked. I think I almost collapsed, actually.

“It was the first time I had ever seen a naked man. I was mortified. I didn’t know what to do.

“And he milked it. He milked the fact that he was naked. He stood there. He took his time.”

The then-teenager said that after Hoffman put a bathrobe on, he then asked her to massage his feet.

Thomas said she did so because she “didn’t know how to say no.”

Hoffman’s lawyer told Variety that the accusation is a “defamatory falsehood.”

Two more women also spoke to the publication about alleged incidents.

Melissa Kester claimed that Hoffman assaulted her while they were recording audio for Ishtar.

An anonymous woman also alleged that the actor attacked her in the back of a car and manipulated her into having sex with him later.

These accusations come after Hoffman was accused of sexual harassment on the set of Death of a Salesman. 

Production assistant Anna Graham Hunter said that Hoffman was inappropriate with her on the set of the 1985 TV movie.

She was in high school at the time.
