Gary Coleman chased Molly Shannon around hotel, put hands under her shirt

"Saturday Night Live" star Molly Shannon writes about a shocking encounter with "Diff'rent Strokes" actor Gary Coleman, in her new memoir.
Molly Shannon once spent an unfortunate evening fending off child actor Gary Coleman — with the “Diff’rent Strokes” star “sticking his little baby hands under my shirt.”
The “Saturday Night Live” comedian recalled in her new memoir “Hello Molly,” out Tuesday, how she was visiting Los Angeles in 1987 and had just been signed by Coleman’s agent, Mark Randall. Coleman had just left his sitcom and was still hugely popular.
“I was over the moon,” writes Shannon, then an NYU student. “If he signs me, I thought, his clients will be me and Gary Coleman! I’ll have a talent agent who represents Gary Coleman.”
In the fall of 1987, when Shannon was back in school, Randall asked if she wanted to meet him and Coleman for tea at the Plaza Hotel. Coleman was 18 at the time but very small, as he suffered from a kidney disease that limited his growth to four-foot-eight.
Shannon writes that Coleman relentlessly chased her around a hotel room in an attempt to “smooch” her.
He was also extremely flirtatious, comparing Shannon to his “Diff’rent Strokes” co-star Dana Plato, who played Kimberly Drummond on the show (and who later died of a prescription drug overdose, after years of substance-abuse struggles).
“We had a great time, laughing and joking,” Shannon recalled, and then Coleman asked if Shannon wanted to see the Presidential Suite where he was staying. Once in the room, he asked Shannon to sit on the bed.
“The possibility of something sexual occurring hadn’t even crossed my mind,” she writes, taking note of Coleman’s dialysis machine in the corner.
Shannon recalled Coleman wrapping his body around her calf so that she ended up dragging him across the floor.
“I was an innocent virgin, still. He was playful at first, tickling me, trying to lie on top of me and smooch me. Then, when I pushed him away and stood up, Gary climbed up on the bed and jumped off, using it as a springboard to launch himself to me, kissing me wildly and sticking his little baby hands under my shirt.”
The “White Lotus” actress says she was able to flip Coleman off the bed, but he repeatedly tried to kiss her. Finally, she got up and he draped his whole body around her calf so she ended up dragging him across the floor.
Shannon then ran across the room and locked herself in the bathroom while, undeterred, Coleman wiggled his fingers underneath the door.
On her last episode of “SNL,” Shannon — above, as Mary Katherine Gallagher — she found out that her father way gay.
“Gary’s relentlessness was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced … I didn’t run out until he stopped trying to get in. I waited till he gave up,” she remembered. “I was in shock.”
Shannon writes how she managed to escape the room and warned Randall that his client “is wild.” She never heard from the agent again.
Coleman died in 2010 at the age of 42 after suffering an epidural hematoma.
Shannon’s mother and younger sister were killed when her father, James (left), drove them home after having too much to drink.
The comedian, now 57, also writes of the tragedy that has defined her entire life: When she was 4, her mother, younger sister and cousin died in a car accident while her father was driving after having too much alcohol at a family celebration. Shannon and another sister survived.
Still, the actress adored her father — who, she writes, was alternately loving, encouraging, berating and jealous, and who struggled with alcoholism for years.
It wasn’t until her final appearance on “SNL” in 2001 that a male friend told her that her father had confided a year earlier that he was gay but too scared to tell her.
“In that moment, and all at once, I felt my heart grow a thousand sizes. All the pieces began to fit together,” Shannon writes. “I was so excited and started making plans for him. He was going to go dancing at gay clubs. He was going to fall in love. My head went wild with visions of his new life as an openly gay man.
“Suddenly everything made sense — the craziness, the drinking, the anger. I realized he hasn’t gotten to be himself.”
But it was not to be, Shannon’s father was sick with prostate cancer and it wasn’t until a few months later that she asked him if he thought he might be gay.
“Most definitely,” he replied, explaining that he knew so beginning in eighth grade.
“He told me his gay life was mostly limited to occasional blow jobs at bars and truck stops,” she writes, noting that her father was born a generation or two too early. “He couldn’t break out of what was expected of him as a Catholic growing up in Cleveland in the 1930s and ’40s.”
Despite the actress’ tough childhood, the overriding theme of the book is gratitude and an incredibly sunny outlook.

“I feel so lucky,” she writes near the end of the book. “I got four and a half years with my mom on Earth. I’m grateful I got that time with her. It’s substantial and thank God I had that.”

I stopped reading after this.....she knew what time it was and to talk about a man after he's no longer here to defend himself is bad on her part cause that makes her story just that much more unbelievable cause its her story in hopes to sell a book.

In the presidential suite where she sat on a bed....you bypassed all of the other seats and ended up in the bedroom huh.Save it

And notice something that most just ignoring

How she basically emasculated him and dismissed him as not a mature man but a child.

So she went to his room because he wasn't really a man to her. Saying if he "looked" like a "regular " sized black man that she would have more scared? More weary?

And like you said why say this RIGHT NOW?

You CAUGHT THAT RIGHT!?!

so this sick little man can't have urges.

I ain't saying it's OK for Gary to allegedly accost this woman.

I'm saying so because he is in that condition he is what?

A toy? A eunuch?

She was old enough to know you not supposed to go into ANYONE room you just met.

Gay straight male female healthy cripple whatever

I respect #metoo but there is this thinking that it suddenly absolves you of all responsibility common sense and just plain situational awareness.

Yeah I did catch it and your points are well taken.

Even still, the image of him affixed to her leg like one half of a pair of Uggs with her draggin Gary's lil ass across the floor was hilarious to me.

But yeah, her relating that story- or rather the way she did was demeaning. Especially referring to his dialysis. That was unnecessary, particularly considering he is deceased. And yeah he was still a man who had urges, so I do agree about her using common sense and situational awareness. The fact that he shouldn't have (allegedly) pressed her doesn't chance that fact.

What's the point of her relating this now? Is she deeply wounded and traumatized and it has impeded her from having normal relationships with guys or something? Doesn't sound like it to me.

Yeah I think the #metoo thing goes too far sometimes and this might be a really good example of that.
 
Women always doing this lame ass shit for attention. “I was so wanted that this happened to me thirty years ago and now I’m bringing it up because I don’t get that attention anymore.” Too bad bitch, no one cares. I don’t even know who the fuck Molly Shannon is. But everything I said is the truth. Same thing happened to Robin Williams after he died, and Stan Lee when he was still barely alive.
 
"Meets grown man at a hotel then goes to his hotel room"

She needs to gtfoh with this slander.
