Jeremy Piven has taken the first step in his plan to discredit the three women who accused him of sexual assault.
The “Entourage” alum took a lie detector test in an attempt to prove that he didn’t grope Arianne Bellamar, Tiffany Bacon and Amy Meador, according to documents acquired by The Blast.
Among the questions on the polygraph, administered by the American Polygraph Association, were if he had sent “explicit and/or abusive text messages,” “‘grabbed’ or fondled a woman’s genitals, breasts or buttocks without their consent” or “used force to restrain a woman against their will.”
Piven “passed all his additional tests with no signs of deception,” according to The Blast.
Polygraph tests, frequently called lie detector tests, are not considered foolproof and “most psychologists agree that there is little evidence that polygraph tests can accurately detect lies,” according to the American Psychological Association.
Piven has denied all claims of sexual assault.
“I unequivocally deny the appalling allegations being peddled about me. It did not happen,” he said in a statement to the Daily News.
“It takes a great deal of courage for victims to come forward with their histories, and my hope is that the allegations about me that didn’t happen, do not detract from stories that should be heard.”
