American Horror Story star Leslie Jordan has claimed that Lady Gaga took him into the woods and “started riding” him before they filmed a scene together.

The actor recalled working with the singer in a since-deleted Instagram video, in which he alleged Gaga wanted to “sexualise” him, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Gaga starred in the sixth series of the drama as an ancient wicked witch. Jordan appears as actor Ashley Gilbert in the show.

In the scene they shared together, Gaga’s character was supposed to blow fairy dust in Jordan’s face, before knocking him over, kicking him, and cutting him with a knife.

"She took me in the woods right before we shot,” claimed Jordan, “and she said, 'You know, I tend to sexualise all my acting partners.’ I thought, 'Where's this going?'

“Well honey, she kicked me, rolled me over, and got down on me and started riding me... I didn't know what I was supposed to do! I just laid there and thought, 'How do I get myself into these situations?'"

The Independent has contacted Gaga’s representatives for comment.
