HGTV Star Accused Of Forcing Makeup Artist To Repeatedly Perform Oral Sex On Him

Read the article if you have time. It's an interesting case of he said/she said.

Warning: the article is pretty frank.

Tl;dr version: She says she gave him 10-15 blowjobs during work hours, with him finishing on her face every time. She says she did it because she felt she would lose her job if she didn't. He says it happened, but it was consensual.

Oh, one other thing. The woman claims she is a lesbian.

I swear I am not making this up.

Former makeup artist Kailey Kaminsky says she was coerced at the threat of her job to repeatedly perform oral sex on HGTV star Carter Oosterhouse.

Oosterhouse has admitted to having relations with Kaminsky, but has denied any coercion and maintains the relations were completely consensual.

In 2008, Kaminsky, then 34, worked as a makeup artist on Oosterhouse's show "Carter Can" when the alleged coercion took place. She says she performed oral sex on the star 10-15 times after he pressured her and then had a conversation with her that she interpreted as an implication that she would lose her job if she did not acquiesce.

"He was determined to get a blow job," she added, saying he had "tunnel vision."

The requests for oral sex allegedly continued back in Los Angeles, says Kaminsky. In September 2008, Oosterhouse was allegedly "intimidating" her to perform such sexual favors. When they were driving to a project, "he pulled off the road and said, 'Do you enjoy your job?'" she recalled. "I said I did and in fact would like to work more, handling more of his personal appearances outside the show. He said, 'Well, I can help you with that. But you need to do something for me.'"

Kaminsky told The Hollywood Reporter she felt she had to "capitulate" or she'd lose her job. She said this happened a total of 10-15 times.

"It was eye contact; he would look at me and look down," said Kaminsky, describing what would happen before such alleged encounters.

She said she felt especially "degraded" because "when he would assault me, he insisted on finishing on my face — every time — knowing that I had to go back out and work. I asked him about that. He said, 'It's just what I wanted to do.'"

"[T]he persistent requests for oral sex began a year into her employment on the show when Oosterhouse, then 32 and a home improvement TV star after gaining fame on TLC's Trading Spaces, propositioned her while the pair were running errands in a truck during a location shoot in his hometown of Traverse City, Michigan. She repeatedly rebuffed him on the trip, she says, and his advances were even more surprising because she identifies as a lesbian," says the report.
