So she left, and I was left in the hotel room with him alone.” She added, “he came out of the bathroom with a towel at first wrapped around him, which he dropped. He was standing there naked. It was the first time I had ever seen a n*ked man. I was mortified. I didn’t know what to do. And he milked it. He milked the fact that he was n*ked. He stood there. He took his time.”
