Johansson’s Comments Out Of Line?

“Why are you so tan?” Johansson asked one of my colleagues.

“I was outside playing tennis all weekend,” she answered.

“I play tennis,” he said. “I’m not very good though.”

“I could probably beat you,” she replied.

“This is what we refer to as flirting where I am from,” he responded blithely. “I’ll find your weak spot.”

“I don’t have any,” she responded.

“My serve is pretty strong,” he said. “I’ll serve the ball right down your throat.”

Was He Only Playing A Part?

Susan went on to detail the uncomfortable encounter between her co-worker and Paul Johansson saying that he made comments like “I’m not shy” and “I’m sweating like a rapist.”

The “One Tree Hill” star’s lawyer released a comment on the allegations saying, “Mr. Johansson was discussing his acting career and imitating the types of brute characters he has portrayed on television. For Ms. Cheng to impute to Mr. Johansson the negative traits of the characters he has played on TV is reckless and defamatory on its face.”
