Dreyfuss was meeting with fans following a 2004 performance of the Broadway play “Sly Fox.” The photos show him embracing two women backstage.
“He kissed me without permission,” a woman from Long Island told the Daily News.
“The first thing he did was give me a hug, and he stuck his hand almost in the crack of my butt. He didn’t even give me any warning,” said the woman, who wishes to remain anonymous and is identified only by her first name Beth.
“Then he turned me around, and he grabbed me by the boob. And he grabbed right above my private area, lower than my midriff. Like he was tickling me. I was giggling, but not in a happy way. I was so nervous,” Beth told the Daily News, adding that the experience “was so uncomfortable” and gave her “a weird, awkward feeling.”
Another photograph shows Dreyfuss kissing a second woman — Susan — on the cheek. She says she did not expect so forward a greeting.
“I just remember it was creepy, weird and awkward,” Susan told the Daily News. “We were excited to go in there and meet him, and it wasn’t what we expected. It was a shock. I was surprised, I didn’t expect him to be that type of person.”
The Daily News did not reach either Dreyfuss or his agent for comment on the photographs.
