The 56-year-old then went on to speak about how some of the women who approach him get very aggressive with their interest in him.

Mark travels the country making public appearances, and revealed that at any given gig he is harassed and sexually assaulted.

“I can safely say on any given gig I get my [bleep] felt up to four times,” he said. “Every gig I get sexually assaulted.”

Meanwhile, he then went on to detail one incident, where a woman grabbed his crotch.

In addition, he said: “I’ve got a guy I work with now and he keeps an eye for me and will detect when something like that is going to happen.”
