Who is Eddie Deezen? All about the “Grease” actor who has been accused of being a 'creep' and harassing a waitress

American actor and comedian Eddie Deezen has landed in hot waters after being accused of harassing a waitress from a local restaurant in Maryland. The waitress claimed that the 64-year-old was allegedly obsessed with her and regularly visited the restaurant to see her at work.

The waitress took to Twitter to open up about the issue, referring to a now-deleted Facebook post made by Deezen. She called the actor a “creep” and claimed that he often enquired about her schedule from other workers.

She also mentioned that the actor usually “leaves” after seeing her without makeup.

In response to the accusations, Deezen refuted the claims and justified his behavior in another lengthy Facebook post. He also allegedly accused the accuser and her posse of bullying him on social media.

However, the “Grease” actor also confessed about “being 100% wrong” in one way. He agreed that he might have made her feel “objectified” and said he “required her to wear false eyelashes.”

Following the incident and the online drama, the comedian has received severe backlash from the online community.
