Tanya Ma, 24 Claims That Ben Stein Begged Her For Sexy Photos While She Was Pregnant; Text Between The Two Reveal Stein Wanted To "Touch You, And Kiss You" To Ma
Ben Stein must be living up to what he wrote about in a recent magazine column that he is still a "horny" teen like man who tends to have "mad crushes" on every pretty female that he runs into.
But one woman isn't taking Stein's comments lightly. According to Page Six Tanya Ma, revealed on Monday that the 69-year-old two time married, to the same woman grandfather is nothing but a devious person who funded her money after begging and pleading to "touch" her while she was pregnant.
The site says that Ma, 24 is a pregnant performance artist, contacted Page Six to share her story to warn other women of Stein, they claim that Ma said, she doesn't "want him to continue to do this to women."
"It's much more than sexting, cyber-escorting or being a sugar daddy - it's unhealthy and toxic behavior that needs to be exposed," Ma said, who is a Grand Rapids, Michigan native.
Stein fans best know him as a high-school teacher who repeats in a robotic way, "Bueller? ... Bueller?" in the 1986 flim, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Stein called that the pregnant performer "Lucia," and a former escort while writing a June column for The American Spectator.
Stein admitted that he was hooked after he saw Ma at the San Francisco airport in the spring.
Ma was "a stunningly beautiful, absolute knockout young Eurasian woman," Stein wrote, adding, "we have been in touch almost every day since."

Ma does not deny briefly working as an escort in Chicago, but thought that Stein was interested in her for author purposes.
"He said he'd read my blog, and I gave him my contact information," she said. "We texted for about four months, then he asked me to send him pictures. He said he was very captivated and he just wanted to remember me. After a while, he started asking for more racy photos."
She said that Stein wanted her close and wanted her to move earlier this month. "He wanted to place me in a hotel near where he lives" in LA, Ma noted.
She mentions that "the day before I was supposed to meet him, he texted me" that he was interested in touching and kissing her.
Ma adds that Stein wrote, "When you get here i want to hug and kiss you. I understand you don't want to f-k me. But i want to touch you and kiss you."
"I knew he had developed a crush on me, but it just started to get weird," Ma, who is 18 weeks pregnant by a former lover said.
Growing "horribly uncomfortable" with Stein's words, Ma said, she replied back: "Ben, you may hug me and feel my baby bump, but anything more is too much for me. I'm not your girlfriend. Can't we simply enjoy a conversation and meal? I'm pregnant."
Stein has since denied that text messages exchanged between the two Monday.
"She is a person I have only met for less than five minutes at an airport. I have never touched her, I have never had any sexual contact with her. I should get a medal for helping this woman," Stein said.
"This is a person who appealed to me for money. She said she would send me some examples of her performance art. Some of those examples were racy, and some were not.
"I just don't get what I have done wrong. She is mad at me because she wanted more money."
Stein claims that he encourage Ma to write a book about her troubled childhood, and said that he would her get her work published.
"Here's the real story: Ben Stein has never had any criminal charge or any ethical blemish in his life, she tells him a sob story, he helps her out to the amount of thousands, she said she's going to have a baby and the father of the baby wasn't going to help her out," he explained.
"I didn't expect anything from her. Hugging and kissing doesn't mean I wanted to f-k her. I said that explicitly in my text," Stein said. "When is it wrong to hug people?"
