Ryan Seacrest Says the Sexual Misconduct Allegations Against Him Were 'Gut-Wrenching'

He's the best kisser ever!

hilarious

He's a gentleman and a stud.

He looks like shit on OPs pic.

Is he gonna sue?

Wait! What?!

She’s being accused of SEXUALLY harassing HUMAN FEMALES?!?!?

Ryan Seacrest and a FEMALE? Oh, my sides! Who did he blow to get that story published?

I’d sooner believed he chased after hot guys offering them his gaping hole or no job.

[quote]gut-wrenching

Pics of said guts being wrenched please.

They don't call him Love 'em and Leave 'em Secrest for nothing...

R10 We believe you, Julianne.🙄

The way he acted on knocked up wasn't far from who really is pint-sized, demanding queen. I thought guys would come forth though, not women.

R10, I don't know about the Love'em part ...

For once, I'm inclined to believe that nutty "Beard Club" Twitter account, which claims that Seacrest, Jeremy Piven, and James Franco pay to have these stories put out about them. It's the whole "would rather be known as a straight sleaze than as a gay man" thing.

He's totally distraught R9.

Why he's almost cradling his smoothie.

I'd rather take a beating than have to think about Ryan Seacrest having sex with anyone, ever, anywhere.

NO.

This is an attempt for Ryan Seacrest to appear as heterosexual. After all, it’s better in the Trump world to be a straight man who sexually harasses women, than to simply being just a gay man.

More allegations!

Okay Kathy Griffin, it's time to spill. She knows if Ryan is straight or gay or bi or questioning! She has dinner with the dude. I think Ryan might be straight. I've always thought this. But I also think he is an arrested development egomaniac. He's a momma's boy we know for sure. The Variety allegations from his former stylist are too detailed and happened too many times to just dismiss as negative PR to make Seacrest appear straight. He is dangerously close to being fired from the morning gig. AI is currently filming. He could be done as host before the live shows come to air.

I'll never forget how he treated Kellie Pickler. Like he did something wrong with her and she rejected him. Ryan most definitely has a type. Blonde, dumb, hot but wholesome.

It isn't more allegations r18, it is the same lady.

I just have a hard time imagining Seacrest harassing anyone without a penis.

I have a hard time believing Gaycrest even likes sex. He seems asexual. Like a bug.

I agree. It is hard to me to picture Ryan Seacrest being sexual, with men or women.

R19 Sure miss ryan, no one thinks you're straight. Keep living in your fantasy thou.

Cannot even LOOK at that man. CANNOT.

How could you!

What’s the betting guys are being paid off left, right and centre and this girl was paid to claim he sexually assaulted her to quash any upcoming gay scandals.

R20 My bad, I couldn't find a name in the original article

r27 With the amount of $$$$ he has to spare. I wouldn't be shocked.

Well, I'm sure he's had his guts wrenched, so he knows how it feels.

R14 r27 What kind of idiot would plant those stories about himself and rather be labeled as a sexual predator or even a rapist than to admit that he's gay? Men lose their jobs over those accusations nowadays and get nothing but hate from the public, the people who consume their work. In James Franco's case, why the fuck would he plant something like that in the middle of awards season when he was the front-runner for the Oscar? it totally killed his chance to win an Oscar and he wasn't even nominated, probably never gonna be nominated again.

r31 Being gay > harassing women.

Old gays on DL have some strange persecution complex. R31 is exactly right. Seacrest could lose all of his jobs over this. Why would he go so far to hide that he is gay? Y'all have deep wounds from gym class or something. Being gay ain't such a big deal these days.

because he's an obsessive closet queen living in a fucking dreamword R33?

What'd Ryan do? Grab her strap-on?

Gary Oldman has been the best actor Oscar front runner since before the award season started.

He never harassed this female.

Ryan? With Girl? HAHAHA (Never)

What did he do to her? Stole her dress and makeup? Gurl please. He’s gayer than gay and it’s a FACT.

FACT and CAPS together means JANBOT just finished the night shift.

I wonder if this will be addressed on LIVE tomorrow?

I wonder if it's a coincidence that, if this story is a plant, that it's coming out after he joins family friendly LIVE.

IT'd be worse if he were gay to some of those viewers.

r14, oh hell to the know about Franco and Priven. Franco lost an academy award nomination, no way.

Seacrest we never got to hear the allegations, he got in front of it and we never heard. So maybe that one is bs, or maybe he told an off colored joke one day at the office or told someone woman that she was wearing a nice blouse, some of the accusers are nutta butters also.

[quote] “Every day I am living my childhood dream because of surrendering my young ass to Merv Griffin,” he wrote in the column.

FIXED.

nevermind I just read the accusations from her at the link. NO FUCKING WAY, would Seacrest plant this story. Bullshit. He could be over if this shit is true.

Not a plant but maybe she is trying for a payday and is making the shit up. I cannot see him doing this stuff actually.

I think it was an extortion attemt. She knows he is gay and won't out himself as a defense. Lost her easy job for some reason and wanted some money. He outed her as the accuser so she has to keep it going for her own face.

Either that or he did a good job hiding his creepiness.

Either iscould be true. We know he is a fake about being a nice heteroguy. That whole persona seemed phoney to nearly everyone. His occassional relationships. Something seemed wrong. Good looking rich guy like that, stil single. Maybe because that seemed false we assumed he was hiding gay. He could be hiding perverted, dickwad, asshole, pussy grabber.

However, I cannot actually believe this story. I was okay with him acting adolencent with his assistant saying he was interested and gaging her reaction, but, the pussy grabbing, really? That is a thing? Not just Trump?

You queens know nothing about Seacrest’s sexuality. Absolutely nothing.

Weird story from college, this guy who was pretty effeminate and that all of our team assumed was gay (including me) would regularly grope girls at parties. Many were uncomfortable but would laugh it off because he was obviously gay. A girl I worked with over the summer told me she had slept with him and was pretty confident he was straight.

Seacrest reminds me of that situation, not saying I know that to be the case

Now d-listers are calling him to step aside from the red carpet

R46 Lmao, sure miss shecrest. It's no secret what miss ryan likes. There has been gossip about her sexuality for longer than a decade.

I know of at least one guy he slept with years ago (pre-Idol). I guess he could always be bi, though.

I also know he likes his coke (again, years ago, at least).

Mary Richards was getting obscene calls at home after a sex ed show she produced for WJM.

Phyllis offers to intercept a call at Mary's apartment.

Phyllis: "Hello. Yes. (TO MARY) It's obscene. (Beat.) It's Rhoda."

Bellamy Young is now walking back her call for Seacrest to be removed from hosting the red carpet shows

R51, in your hilarious scenario is Ryan, Mary, Phyllis, or Rhoda?

Just because Seacrest may have sexually harassed a woman that doesn't mean he is straight. That might just be the way he chooses to mistreat females who work for him.

Agent Adam Venit sexually harassed actor Terry Crews but Venit is not gay. He is married to a woman.

Seacrest has been in the biz for a long time and must have powerful allies at E!/NBCU and ABC. He's a huge cash machine. They don't want to see him go down.

Wouldn't be surprised if someone told Bellamy to back off, R52.

Seacrest's former gay lovers have assured me he's straight.

CDAN had a blind suggesting that Seacrest is considering coming out as gay in order to fight this allegation.

But as with Spacey, I think it would backfire because being gay wouldn't necessarily invalidate the allegation.

LMAO that DLers think the system is protecting Seacrest while other huge execs and stars go down. Yeah, that makes sense.

I do think ABC/Disney and NBC Universal are protecting Seacrest. NBC tried to protect Lauer until it got out of their control.

Some of the replies here seem to assume that the assault claim is specious because RyRy is so clearly into the man love. But, let us not forget that sexual assault is much more about assault than it is about sex.

From the attached article:

[quote]"Ryan Seacrest physically assaulted me," she told AP Radio. "Follow me to the precinct, he's going down!"

The "Today" show just talked about some guy who worked with Seacrest and his accuser who claims he witnessed Seacrest's "inappropriate behavior." Seacrest's attorney says this is just some friend of hers and a former disgruntled co-worker who's basically just trying to help her ruin Seacrest's name. So far, though, all of the networks with which Seacrest is involved are standing by him.

Seacrest going down would be a HUGE, so I'm sure the evidence would need to be concrete for them to throw him over. Think about it: Seacrest imploding would affect not only "American Idol" and "Live with Kelly & Ryan," but also don't forget "New Year's Rockin' Eve," too. Not saying I believe it yet (I actually don't -- I still think he's gay) but I am beginning to wonder if he should sit out this Sunday's Oscar red carpet coverage only because, according to one report on the news last night, some actresses "may avoid him" on the carpet this coming Sunday night.

I was alone with him in a spa years ago in Paris at a high end hotel. I later found out he was traveling with JH (girlfriend at the time as I recall). We were changing at the same time, and he did not once even glance at me. I remember being surprised at his angry and super straight vibe. I went into the steam, he followed a few minutes later and again, nothing. No side look, not even an acknowledgment that I was there. I'm not an Adonis, but I hold my own and in good shape, and we're about the same age. Even if he wasn't interested in fooling around, in my experience, he would at least have taken a glimpse if he was gay. Then later, as if I needed further confirmation, he took the loudest dump I've ever heard (there's a faucet right beside you girl, use it). If he's family, he's adopted.

R62 is a publicist

And not a very good one

R62 Ha ha ha ha ha, I laughed. He didnt notice you marry because you're 100 and obese. Anyway 1/10.

He's guilty all right.

r62 is the tackiest queen on this thread and that is saying a lot.

Today Runs Extensive Report on Ryan Seacrest Allegations, With EyeWitness Who Claims to Have Seen Abuse

The only harassment he's inflicted on female victims is getting into hair pulling and clawing fights with them.

Kelly Ripa has his back.

Maybe he was just dishing out the type of treatment he received early in his career but he was too afraid to inflict it on a male.

Oh course, every man that looks at you r62 should want you.

Ryan Seacrest is middle aged and has never had a long-term girl friend and never been married.

Connect the dots

R70, not according to AOL:

Kelly Ripa takes jab at Ryan Seacrest amid sexual harassment allegations

Kelly Ripa took a jab at co-host Ryan Seacrest during Wednesday's episode of "Live With Kelly and Ryan" amid allegations from a former stylist that Seacrest sexually harassed her.

While discussing how Seacrest was wearing shoes that were too small for him, Ripa asked Seacrest a question that may have alluded to a detail in the stylist's account of Seacrest's alleged harassment.

"Sweetie, do you want me to put your shoes back on for you?" she asked him.

"You don't mind, do you?" Seacrest responded.

"I'm a mom!" she retorted. "I can do that!"

Speaking to Variety, a former co-worker of Seacrest's accuser -- former stylist Suzie Hardy -- claimed that "he saw Seacrest multiple times push Hardy’s head into his crotch while she was tying his shoes." Ripa's comment may have been in reference to this claim.

I love Kelly

He's closet gay and was overcompensating, trying to act all masc. It's EXACTLY what happened in that Kathy Griffin story. He did it.

NEXT!

Stay strong gurl!

R53, personally, I think Ryan's gay....so he'd be Phyllis' brother.

Maybe he did all this to prove he's bi or straight and things got out of hand and the woman's either looking for a quick pay day or she's nuts.

I can't believe ANYONE gets paid as much as he does to be a goof. and say shit like 'coming up next, Kelly and I will play trivia with two members of the audience.'

R76, what was the Kathy Griffin story?

He will probably come out and say, no way I did those things coz I'm gay!!!

Kevin Spacey tried that tactic to deflect allegations against him and it failed. It won't work for Ryan either.

Wait, didn't you get the memo? We have to BELIEVE ALL WOMEN!!! All of them, I tell you.

Ryan is a pussy hound who grinds his deck against women.

Did she say he's hung like a gnat or horse?

As one article pointed out, E! fired the woman after she made the original complaint about Seacrest. That's retaliation. Much easier to prove than hostile work environment.

Hilariously, ABC/Disney, apparently thinking we're still living in the era of Mad Men, couldn't even be bothered to FAKE an investigation like E!/NBC Universal.

From Twitter, this Kathy Griffin story which I never heard before:

Ryan Seacrest pulled open Kathy Griffin's shirt and told a young girl in the audience, “Don't worry, honey, you'll have a pair of these soon.”

2003 whilst on stage presenting Kathy with an award.

It must have been pre-planned, right?

Ryan's 25-year old girlfriend, Shayna, is speaking up for her man!

When I heard that Travolta was married, I knew he was straight. When affleck and Rob Lowe were accused of secual harassment, I knew they were straight.

Straight guy with common sense

This due is so closeted that its almost laughable. I think Ryan don't want is mother to know he's gay that is why he has yet to come out. Ryan may think its none of our concerned who he sleeps with. But I do believe he made his lovers sign non-disclosure agreement and the women uses his fame to rise their profile. Hey it beat sleeping with Harvey.

The article at R74 may have caused some confusion. People magazine would like to set the record straight:

Kelly Ripa Is 'Fully Supportive' of Ryan Seacrest Amid Sexual Misconduct Allegation, Source Says

She just doesn't want to say anything on the record so she's conveying her full support through an anonymous source!

It's impressive that the Academy still hasn't booted Merv's widow from the red carpet show yet. He must have a lot of pull in the industry but I don't think he'll be able to prevail on this one.

It's funny how quickly everyone is siding with Ryan Seacrest on this one. Maybe people in the know have reasons why they find these allegations not credible.

Most people are using the reasoning that it is impossible for a gay man to sexually harass a woman.

I don't agree with this reasoning as Adam Venit (a straight man) sexually harassed Terry Crews (another straight man).

Why won't anyone grope MY genitals?!

Adam Venit (a straight man) sexually harassed Terry Crews (another straight man).

aka Locker Room Ass Grabbing aka much ado about friggin' nothing.

I had a very straight acting teacher grab the crotch of one of his male students and it was a little weird to see. But not exactly news. This was long before Pussy Nation, of course.

Publicists to steer stars away from Seacrest on Oscars red carpet

R95, that’s why I said upthread that maybe Ryan should sit this one out. Doesn’t mean that he’s guilty (or should be seen as an admission of guilt), just that stars steering clear of him on the red carpet would be really kinda embarrassing for him, so why bother.

Insanity. Can someone please grow some balls? Even an accusation as absurd as this one makes them go running? Idiots.

E! mishandled this situation. First, they shouldn't have fired the woman after she made the allegation. It looks like retaliation. Second, they should have hired someone to do a real, independent investigation. E! basically cleared themselves and Seacrest of wrongdoing. How convenient! Still, this was better than ABC who refused to investigate at all.

I read that E! is hoping that Seacrest's popularity with the public will save him. But I don't know how popular he really is with audiences. It just seems like he ingratiated himself with the right people to get all these different jobs. I thought he was an odd choice to be Ripa's co-host. He's not particularly warm and women who make up the majority of viewers of that show don't seem particularly enamored with him. They seemed much more fond of Strahan.

Seacrest is SUCH an odd choice to be Kelly's co-host.

He comes off even gayer than he does on other shows and you'd think that's something he's trying to avoid.

None of this should matter, but it does.

From Twitter:

Someone who worked with Ryan Seacrest once told me he would take small bites out of every pastry on a food platter and then put them all back as if people would still want to eat them. So, yes, I believe he could be the type of person who sexually harasses people.

Variety:

Academy Awards host Jimmy Kimmel told Variety Wednesday that he will, as planned, be interviewed after the Oscars by Ryan Seacrest, despite the emergence of sexual-harassment allegations against the “Live With Kelly & Ryan” star.

“Of course I will,” Kimmel said when asked if he would keep the interview date. “Listen, you know, we should at the very least afford people the opportunity for truth, what the facts of the story are before hanging them out to dry.”

Asked if he would discuss the allegations with Seacrest, Kimmel said that he would not, adding, “He’s interviewing me.”

I believe her, closeted guys always over compensate to deflect.

If u r gay man, u may not see it as sexusl to put your head in girls lap and suck her vagina

He reeks G A Y

IMO, it was all for publicity and he'll somehow mange to pick up the pieces of his shattered life and move on. Oh, and from now on whenever his sexuality is called into question morons will cite the time a bimbette accused the Lady Ryanette of seXual harassment.

But even though Seacrest will appear on the E! pre-awards extravaganza on Sunday, sources tell us that producers will prearrange his interviews on the carpet with friendly stars who won’t surprise him with uncomfortable comments.

A source said, “There will be no Debra Messing moments this time round,” referring to a Golden Globes red-carpet incident in which Messing insulted E! for its handling of ex-host Catt Sadler’s departure over an equal-pay dispute.

R85

Kathy told the story of how Ryan tried something where he pulled at her outfit on stage in a way that showed off her rack and he then yelled "YAY !". Kathy then told the audience that Ryan was just excited because he'd never been so close to a pair of tits before that moment.

the bitch mus be lying. Known gay, he mus be pissed some broad is out to get him. bummer !!! Oh the irony. kind of like the guy, he seems decent. who knows

That's hilarious, R100.

R106 Kathy Griffin doing standup and talking about the incident where Ryan Seacrest rips open her blouse on primetime, live TV!

I wonder if she'll say anything about him now. Maybe not since she could use his connections in her comeback.

How long before someone dredges up the video of Seacrest ripping open Kathy Griffin's blouse at the American Music Awards without her knowledge/consent on live TV?

they both look trans in r86

Guess ABC prodded Kelly to come to Ryan's defense. I wonder if it will backfire on her.

It's funny because Kelly was the one who freaked out when Clay Aiken put his hand over her mouth. So then how does she reconcile that it was Seacrest who tore open Kathy Griffin's blouse on live TV several years back?

I think Seacrest is a Mean Girl to the underlings who work around him.

I guess the money he spent on consultants to create a more masculine visage was worth every penny.

I can't believe you'd think he might be gay !

Here is his h.s. graduation photograph before he lost all that weight and had gynecomastia surgery to remove his feminine breasts.

I don't like Ryan but I think he looks pretty good at OP. a tiny bit of scruff suits him

[quote] Kevin Spacey tried that tactic to deflect allegations against him and it failed. It won't work for Ryan either.

Uhh, except that Spacey wasn't saying it to prove he couldn't have sexually assaulted a female. I'm not saying it would work for Seacrest, but you can't really compare the two.

Ryan' friendship with the late Merv Griffin helped him tremendously.

UGH that is a terrible picture at R118

BI saying it was an extortion attempt and he is actually thinking of coming out of the closet. However, I agree with people above who said he could have acted like this even though he is gay. This behavior is how you show your dominance over women in that industry and he might have thought he could get away with it because he is gay by acting like he just thought it was funny a gay guy was doing it. That is also how Kathy's story sounded. I saw her stand up before she even did the NYT specials, which I think is when she actually met him (he was doing his own show and at some point they agreed to meet), and until she met him she flat out said he was gay in her live shows. Joan Rivers said it in a live show (also said Cruise was gay). Martin Short in a live show I saw also made a joke that he was gay, as did Wanda Sykes. I saw Joel McHale live and he did that "I can't talk about him, but" routine he was doing because Seacrest told E to have him stop making fun of the Kunts. So I figured him being gay was pretty much an open secret.

Today when Ryan and Kelly walked into studio the audience stood and cheered.

Kelly is gonna look like a stupid punk if there are more allegations and she doesn't even like Ryan. I like Kelly but I hope she doesn't sabotage her image for this douche

Ready for this douche to be over!!

No way Kelly wanted to make that statement. What benefit is it to her? This is Hollywood convinced they can still shape the narrative.

Even Kimmel said something positive about Seacrest today which is risky for him, too.

This is a twitter conversation started by Kevin Fallon of the Daily Beast.

Kevin Fallon‏ Kelly Ripa is giving me so much anxiety.

Michael Ausiello why?

Kevin Fallon If this Ryan Seacrest stuff takes her down I will be so upset!

Michael Ausiello is someone suggesting it could take her down?

Kevin Fallon I'm suggesting that *if* he is guilty of all this, her big display of solidarity today will haunt her.

But I also don't presume to know either way whether the allegations are true and that is why this is giving me anxiety!

Michael Ausiello I know a great shrink if you're interested.

Kevin Fallon I just want Kelly to be OK.

Jennifer Lawrence is still mulling this one.

I do think Ripa will regret the linked photo and this quote:

“You are happiness wrapped in chocolate".

Ry Ry is such a pussy hound!!

No, R127, he's a Regina George.

R120, what school taught you to type fourteen lines without using a paragraph?

Kathy's story makes him sound like an awful person. I don't doubt he was hopped up on coke at the time. There are two videos on YouTube showing the incident. One is part of a collection of "best moments," and the other shows the aftermath when Nelly comes to collect his award.

Here's the Nelly video showing Kathy flustered and Ryan "helping" her close her shirt after the incident.

Oh please, she made it sound like he exposed her breasts. That is actually like pulling back a bit of a sweater. And she hardly looks upset about it later either. This whole movement has a few screws loose.

But the memo being sent is that Ryan would never do such a thing because he's such a gentleman!

Yeah but he didn't do it unprovoked. She improvises (no doubt) "Kathy, show us your tits" and he goes along with it -- rather delicately actually, hardly a grope. More silly retro outrage. I wouldn't be surprised if he did some little dance in his underwear in front of his stylist and that became "rubbing his erect dick against me." Screws. Loose. And then add $$$.

R122, really, Kelly Ripa's image? Do you mean a different image than I have of her?

My image of Kelly Ripa is that of a narcissistic, spoiled brat, who is impossible for almost anyone to work with. She monopolizes most conversations and talks over others to the point they become mute.

Her personality does not fit a woman her age. She is on her way to becoming a caricature of herself.

If anything, Seacrest has made the LIVE show much prettier to watch, IMO.

Girlfriend /Beard Shayna looks trans. He’s closeted .

Seacrest is as gay as a bowlful of dicks, and this is just an attempt to make his fans think he's straight. Which he isn't. The end.

Ryan loves the puss. He’s straight.

Ryan is a self absorbed loser. Kelly, I respect. She knows her worth and doesn't let anyone tell her it's less than what she thinks it is

He is gay Mary!

bitch mus be nuts. he a cock sukka. likes it ruff from jocks

R125

Yes, well, Jennifer is a girl with exceptionally high standards.

Did he have a nose job?

A New Blind Item

It was a touching sentiment, and I'm sure that her pay over the years for acting as a beard played some part in the well wishes, but she didn't do this A lister any favors in the heterosexual department because the sentiment sounded like something you would write in the yearbook of your friend rather than a person you have supposedly been hooking up with for years. Shayna Taylor (Ryan Seacrest)

Over at 67th and Columbus ...

There was a poster here years ago that claimed he hooked up with Ryan every New Years time when Ryan would come to NY to do the Rockin' Eve show. The guy wasn't salacious, just matter of fact and believable.

WEHT ABC Insider?

How much pussy is Ryan going to eat out in CA this weekend?

Dear lord, even Howard Stein stated he believes this is a sad attempt to appear straight.

r148 None, but he'll suck more than a few hard cocks to console himself.

He is starting to get mush-mouth.

R149 it completely is. I've seen many closet gays pretend to act like they treat women as objects, and are homophobic. I remember years ago working for a agent, and one of the other assistants was clearly gay and closeted. Like, really femme. We were watching a tape of a potential client, a pretty boy actor. This kid goes "I bet he's a hog smoker" I rolled my eyes so far they got stuck in the back of me head.

Ryan Seacrest’s Girlfriend Shayna Taylor Speaks Out

When Shayna stated being photographed with him I assumed she was his assistant. Someone that busy with 5 jobs must have a 24 hour assistant.

I can vouch for R62's story -- he's been a friend of mine for almost 25 years, and he texted my this story as it was happening, basically, years ago. My friend is not a publicist, he's not fat (he is indeed cute and fit, that son of a bitch). The story is true, and from that interaction, my friend was convinced of Seacrest's straightness. Personally, I still don't believe he's straight, but R62's story is indeed true.

And I know you might not believe me either, but my DL bonafides include "From the Twittering Mind of Lisa Whelchel," "I think Jaclyn Smith should get an MRI or something," and I also offer breathless updates from the desk of Susan Richardson's bookmobile. I've been here a long time and there's no way I'd vouch for bullshit.

Not every closeted celebrity will flirt or look at other guys in public. They are fighting hard to not be outed. Not everyone is Travolta.

R155, so you vouch for R62's story? Including this part?

"Then later, as if I needed further confirmation, he took the loudest dump I've ever heard"

Ryan eats Shana’s pussy. He’s straight!

Any man that’s hanging out with a woman or women are straight, ok. Therefore, Ryan must b straight, umm k!

Maybe he really is one of those "gay straight guys" a la SATC

hard to imagine ryan with a chick, unless she has a cock.

Poor guy, is this some strange kharmic slap for stayin n closet. God, how ironic yes.

What guy has Ryan been with? Anybody got a name? Anybody?

some bitch is claimin he exposed himself to her, was verbally abusive. he was prob joking, as he is we presume a cock gobbler.

His career is over.

He wanted that woman to give him a blowjob. He’s pussy hungry.

I believe this is a money grab. And, this seems to be the only woman that has come foward.

[bold]Is Ryan Seacrest Immune to #MeToo?[/bold]

[quote]Sure, Hollywood wants you to believe women. Just not this one.

There's a last-minute push going on by his people so that no one will refuse an interview with him on the red carpet, and gods know he's built himself a PR war machine over the years.

R162.

Derek Hough......who by the way, in recent days has been filling his Instagram with coordinated "love" posts to his girlfriend that are so staged, it is like they came from a 1947 movie magazine.

O)f course the allegations are false. He had his eye on a male Production Assistant.

Torn between Coming Out (and fear of losing his frau audience) or apologizing for a made-up #Me-Too (and possibly losing his frau audience), has got to be “gut-wrenching.”

I’d be surprised if he came out as a defense against this because he saw what an utter disaster doing that was for Kevin Spacey. But then, depending on how bad this gets, he may not have a choice.

Come out and have the fraus leave you or don't come out and have the fraus bury you. He's fucked either way.

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving person.

I hope he doesn't survive it

Funniest title ever. I can't even read the responses. I can't stop laughing,

They’re saying the stars may avoid him on the red carpet but what about the other female hosts on that channel who usually work the carpet with him (like Giuliana Rancic)? I wonder what are they saying about all this?

Is Ryan a gay?

[quote] There's a last-minute push going on by his people so that no one will refuse an interview with him on the red carpet

That make no sense. Wouldn't he be the one wanting to avoid interviews with certain celebrities who might bring it up? (like Debra Messing, et al).

r177 You'd think that, wouldn't you? But no, hiding from the spotlight on the biggest night of the year would be the same as admitting he did something wrong. I have to say I kinda see the logic behind that strategy but I still think it makes him look desperate and hope to see him fail spectacularly.

Sexual preference has nothing to do with sexual harassment.

He can like cock and still enjoy humiliating a woman.

So I believe that he gets sexual with men and thinks pushing a woman’s face into his crotch is funny.

R162 Years ago, when Idol was just getting huge (2003-ish), someone posted gossip here naming a couple of Ryan's pre-fame, non-celebrity ex-boyfriends. The gossip seemed legitimate. It was re-posted at the Idol forum on TWOP (Television Without Pity) with a link back here. I remember it well because it's how I first discovered Datalounge.

Paying her enough to say she was lying would also sort of wrench the ole gut.

From 2005:

[quote] One Data Lounge poster claims Seacrest had a lover named Ken in 2001 who broke his heart when he moved to London. Why dump Ryan Seacrest? "Ken hated the whole LA fame game thing and Ryan was obsessed with it. Sexually, Ryan was versatile, more of a bottom... They were together about 7 months." And then another poster claims Seacrest has a more recent ex named Arthur and Seacrest has been sad since the split.

Taken from the link below

I believe that Ryan is straight.

Apparently he can't keep a man. You always know if someone has five jobs and works that much and they aren't doing it to provide for a family, they are running or hiding from something

The Red Carpet is going to be the most exciting part of the night...is some celebrity going to call him out, live?

r185 I'm sure he's been practising all sorts of different responses with his people all week, in between the working out and the teeth whitening. This old showbiz whore ain't getting blinded by anyone.

*blindsided

Ripa calls in RyRy (Rye Rye)

R185 I think he is now supposed to only do pre-taped segments with vetted celebrities who are deemed "safe". Really curious who these "safe" celebrities turn out to be.

As a celebrity, I'd not only be worried about associated myself with Seacrest but also the E! network which seems to have a lot of problems dealing with female employees. They fired this stylist after she made her original complaint, they grossly underpaid Catt Sadler and now a female producer is suing them after being fired due to a Golden Globe interview with Eva Longoria in which the Catt issue was brought up. Who knows what else is going to pop up.

He can put his erection near me.

Just don't put your hand over his mouth, Clay/R190.

This is the interview that supposedly got the female E! producer fired.

Currently, the true blue friends of Ryan Seacrest:

Kimmel, Jimmy Manuel, Jay Ripa, Kelly

Oh, dear. That pic of Jay Manuel at r193 made me LOL.

I know. So butch!

Goddam Reese's voice in that clip... why can't American women learn to speak in a lower neutral tone? She sounds like a twit and I don't listen to one syllable she is saying as a result.

So Kimmel is close to RS? Stern is very close to Kimmel so Howard must have the RS tea and he talked about RS on his radio show the other day making clear he believes Ryan is gay.

many thought when ryan was dating julianna hough it was her bro he was really....uh.....doing.

odd he is yes immune to the whole movement against bully men.

He is a fat joke now.

Good riddance.

but he tips good

He’s munching on pussy out in Hollywood as you read this. He’s out to prove that he is straight.

r192, and she sure should have been. That was awful. The come back to the ladies after, after they finish talking

Will he have a visible erection when the pretty ladies approach his platform?

[bold]E! Plans Oscars Red Carpet Delay Amid Ryan Seacrest Harassment Claim[/bold]

[quote]E! is attempting to get in front of any potential backlash against host Ryan Seacrest on the Oscars red carpet.

[quote]Sources say the network is planning a 30-second delay to its live broadcast of Sunday's Live From the Red Carpet, which airs ahead of the Academy Awards. The move would allow E! to filter any awkward moments that may arise during the broadcast regarding the recent sexual harassment and misconduct claims levied against Seacrest by his former stylist, Suzie Hardy.

[quote]E!, however, won't confirm the delay, instead insisting it's "business as usual" on the carpet. "As always, we tape multiple sources of content simultaneously to deliver the best possible show, and there are often brief delays between interviews," said an E! spokesperson.

Bending backwards like crazy for their little snowflake.

E! and its 30 second delay will not be the pre-show to watch; check out the others, ABC, I guess, who may air unedited comments on Ryan -- and they'll be live.

None of the lead actress nominees talked to Ryan. Ha ha ha. Asshole is done.

The E! red carpet show last night was a DISASTER

R155 you are a genius from that Smith thread. Bootsie Gumdrops!

So, Shana was not with Ry Ry this weekend. How many pussies did he eat out in his girlfriends absence? Ry is such a snatch eater.
