Add Maria Menounos to the club that believes there's nothing too uncomfortable to talk about with Howard Stern.

The Extra cohost and recent Dancing With the Stars standout told Stern & Co. on his Sirius XM show today that she has, on more than one occasion, been touched inappropriately during medical exams.

She says that the first time occurred when she was "really young."

Menounos, 34, said this morning that she had visited a male doctor for a throat issue and, after he had asked her to change into a hospital gown, he touched her genitals.

"I was so uncomfortable," she recalled. "I literally started screaming...I didn't know what to do."

Menounos said she has also had other male doctors compliment and then touch her navel ring during examinations.

When asked if she ever reported any of these alleged incidents or otherwise taken steps to press charges, she said no—but now she brings her boyfriend of 14 years, Kevin Undergaro, into the exam room with her. (He was also with her today while Stern was giving her the third degree.)

Stern then said that his wife, model Beth Ostrosky, had experienced something similar with a male doctor, but also declined to press charges.
