Another actress, Jordana Grolnick, has accused former US president George W. Bush of touching her without her consent during a 2016 photo shoot at a Maine theatre. Earlier, actressHeather Lind also made allegations on Tuesday, claiming Bush 'sexually assaulted' her from his wheelchair
Heather Lind said George W. Bush touched her during photo-op four years with his wife standing by his side and claims that his wife also witnessed it happening.
While describing the events Grolnick told media, “He reached his right hand around to my behind, and as we smiled for the photo he asked the group, ‘Do you want to know who my favorite magician is?’ As I felt his hand dig into my flesh, he said, ‘David Cop-a-Feel'. ”
The other ladies in the picture laughed uncomfortably while Barbara Bush made a remark like ‘He’s going to get himself put in jail!' Grolnick said. Grolnick, who posted a photo of the moment on her Instagram account, she has also said that she had been warned by other actors not to stand next to Bush.
Bush spokesperson Jim McGrath responded with a statement that reads: 'At age 93, President Bush has been confined to a wheelchair for roughly five years, so his arm falls on the lower waist of people with whom he takes pictures.
'To try to put people at ease, the president routinely tells the same joke and on occasion, he has patted women's rears in what he intended to be a good-natured manner. Some have seen it as innocent; others clearly view it as inappropriate. To anyone he has offended, President Bush apologises most sincerely.'
