Ryan Seacrest's Rep Responds to Concerns He Suffered a Stroke During American Idol Finale

Hopefully, his boyfriend can nurse him back to health.

We truly entered a darker timeline the moment Ryan Seacrest appeared on our TV screens.

Sociopath

Most of his hosting was tapped and it was obvious some of the contestants knew they were moving on (one of the top two when announced you could see his sister sneaking up the stairs behind him with a confetti cannon. Seacrest was live for the end part, where he looks sweaty, slurring his words and one eye building.

Did it look like he was having a stroke, R4?

There's a video clip at Daily Mail. I look the same way after I get pounded by homeless rough trade.

Why does he still work so much? He already has more money than god.

[quote]"Ryan did not have any kind of stroke last night," his rep shared in a statement with People on Monday. "Like many people right now, Ryan is adjusting to the new normal and finding work-home balance, with the added stress of having to put on live shows from home."

Oh, well, that explains everything. I always believe everything publicists say, 100 percent.

r5 I mean - I have never seen someone actually stroke out but - it was really odd, his face was shiny, his one eye was gigantic compared to the other one and he just slurred his words and kept going like he was totally coherent.

Dope

Guy works his ass off and is always doing something at crazy hours for crazy hours so Im pretty sure his stress level must be extreme. I find him mildly funny on the Kelly show but thats the only thing ive seen him on. gay or not, he earns his keep. is he a trumpster or gay hater? is that why he gets hate on here so much?

Maybe it was a migraine like that TV reporter

Hope he's okay.

He absolutely was having facial drooping. It was either a stroke/TIA or he has Bell’s Palsy.

[quote]Ryan did not have any kind of stroke last night," his rep shared in a statement with People

And Liberace's sudden weight loss has nothing to do with that gay disease going around, it is due to the watermelon diet he has on. Please stop insulating he is a homosexual. We want to remind the press spreading such lies are illegal and we will take anyone to court who continues to do so as we did with the Daily Mirror and won.

Jeez, Ryan, you're not actually a horrible guy. There are much worse in the world. But damn, are you really so incredibly necessary to the universe that you need to be working nonstop every minute of every day. Just calm that shit down, we'll all be fine without you for awhile.

Damn, celebrities!

I haven't seen Seacrest in a while.

Watching that video at R14, it's clear to me that he has had some MAJOR plastic surgery. His face looks totally different.

Could his plastic surgery be the cause of his eye problem? Nerve damage, maybe?

Was it like this?

The PR statement is worse than nothing. “Adjusting to the new normal” is the most meaningless blather I’ve heard yet. These people get paid for that crap? The just raised more questions than they answered. Better to have said nothing.

Say what you will about Ryan, but he is a workaholic. He could keep up the frenetic pace when he was in his 20's and 30's, but not anymore.

If he keeps it up, he'll be dead by the time he's 55.

and he is the perfect embodiment of the cult of busyness. why? why, r20? What is he so busy doing? Bullshit and nonsense. I honestly hope for his sake he stops. I don't hate the guy. I don't want him to kill himself. I don't know why he needs to drive himself into a stroke. What the hell is he doing this for?

I think he is symbolic of the cult of money. How much more money does a person need? I work for money - when I have enough to live on until 85, I’m done.

R17, watch the video at r14. He didn’t have the crazy eyes and garbled speech in earlier segments.

[quote]He didn’t have the crazy eyes and garbled speech in earlier segments.

I don't watch the show but others have said those segments were pre-taped and his inserts were live.

R20 He won’t be missed.

[quote] What is he so busy doing?

Making money! He's worth in the hundreds of millions.

[quote] What the hell is he doing this for?

To prove to himself that he's "worthy." He was a fat little closet case growing up, and those he lost the weight, he's still a self-loathing closet case.

And the hundreds of millions of dollars can't soothe his soul. You can just tell that he's very unhappy, unfulfilled, and very deep in the closet.

What a miserable existence.

see? neurotic horseshit. Ryan, calm your ass down. We all forgive you for, whatever.

If I have to believe my own eyes or what a publicist says...

I’m going with stroke or transient ischemic attack.

Wishes for a full recovery, Ryan.

That's what happens to me if I watch him.......

Making sure my contract has co-host approval but secretly warming up for a SOLO show.....the show the world has always wanted......

What a mean group of fags

Well, you know how bitchy fags can be, R31.

SEACREST.... almost...... OUT!

Maybe if he lost some weight, he wouldn't be so unhealthy.

As mentioned, Ryan has worked nonstop for 20 years during multiple jobs but during the “new normal” he can do it all from his home. No more rushing to airports and flying across the country each week. So why is he having difficulty now of it’s not a medical issue?

By the way, the American Idol finale was last night and this is all anyone cares about.

He probably got a wave of explosive diarrhea and was trying to hold it until the end of broadcast!

Where was his "girlfriend," during all of this drama?

In Canada, r38. Duh.

He looks like he's also suffering from gayface

Who is he dating now - Olivia Munn?

Amateur! I did this shit 9 years ago on the news, not some stupid music show.

I still don't understand how she thought this would quell the gossip. Since this offered no viable explanation for anything (much less as to why his eye drooped), it looks even more sinister.

Not only was his eye drooping (and it appeared to be slightly dilated), but the corner of his mouth was also drooping. He covered up his face with his hands, I think because he realized something was wrong with his mouth. He’s young for a stroke (although not impossible), so it might be Bells’s palsy.

[quote] Not only was his eye drooping (and it appeared to be slightly dilated), but the corner of his mouth was also drooping.

Sounds like all his plastic surgery is melting.

Why not just tell the fuckin truth if it was a stroke or other medical situation. We’re all human, shit happens and he’d garner lots of sympathy.

I knew a guy who had Bell’s Palsy, and then he died.

[quote]“Adjusting to the new normal” is the most meaningless blather I’ve heard yet. These people get paid for that crap?

That's exactly what I thought when I read it. Ryan could have come up with better shit than that during whatever his little episode was last night!

Net Worth: $430 Million

Ripa doesn’t fuck with him because he could buy and sell her.

Sad, Last Days.

i think it might be Bell’s Palsy instead of stroke? If its the latter, they could just simply admit it and says he's recovering. The former might need further tests to confirm.

Too bad he can't take it with him, R49.

Seems like it was all for nothing.

And he didn't even get a boyfriend out of it. He's still pretending to like women.

I think it is more likely he had some kind of cosmetic procedure and that side of his face was a bit frozen or had some nerve damage that hasn't yet healed.

[quote] Why not just tell the fuckin truth if it was a stroke or other medical situation.

Because his whole life is a fraud.

Why start telling the truth now?

Besides, R54 is right. It's a plastic surgery fuck up, and he's embarassed to tell.

Look at his damned face. He's starting to look like a wax figure.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Seacrest has definitely had work done.

This is what he used to look like.

And now....

[quote]This is not normal...

It's the *new* normal, R56!

Hmmm...at the pics at r56, it looks like his wonky eye is brown, while the other eye is blue. So it may have been a contact lens that slipped.

[quote] This is not normal...

[quote] his wonky eye is brown, while the other eye is blue. So it may have been a contact lens that slipped.

Likely story. Blame the “contact lens”.

Between R57 and R58, it looks like he had a face lift and a nose job.

That's some major work. It could be why his face is malfunctioning.

He works too hard.

It's been years since I've seen even a picture of him, so I was shocked by the picture at R55. The face at R57 is what I was picturing. I would never think they were the same person!

His work schedule at this age is symptomatic of something else internally.

His internalized homophobia and self-hatred has come home to roost. I can't imagine being 45, that rich, and decades of success - and yet still in the closet.

It is interesting how he is one of the few men to survive the #metoo hysteria. Everyone else was pretty much dropped immediately. With Ryan people went he harassed a woman? Nah.

Maybe it was a bee sting

He is quite vulgar. He is STEALING jobs from other people.

Greed is no longer in style, and in the banking world that need for everyone to work 24/7 ALL THE TIME ended on NJ 9/11. The next one had better learn his lesson is Michael Strahan. Enough already.

Who is he stealing jobs from, R68?

He's had the American Idol gig for 20 years now.

[quote] NJ 9/11

?

At least he’s not fat again.

Maybe it was a little drinkie during the commercials ... a lot of little drinkies.

He looks like a young David Hasselhoff. Ryan is not gay. He's just trying to win his mother's approval. He loves his mom. A lot.

A boy's best friend is his mother

R74, you forgot to sign your quote.

"A boy's best friend is his mother."

-Norman Bates

dude looks like the same, just a bit older and without 2000's highlights. surely he's had some inane diet to keep his stuntish frame equal up to Kellys but his clothing on that shows inexplicably wrong.. he looked pretty good doing his skit with Kelly in the kitchen and what not but reminds me of a guy who had ADHA (which I had a partner with before and its exhausting)

I knew he'd never last.

[quote] dude looks like the same

Helen Keller has chimed in.

Look closely, and you'll see that Ryan Seacrest's face is pulled tighter than a virgin's twat!

Moron.

[quote] ADHA

ADHD?

Share the work, Seacrest, you ain't that good.

Some cum from the guy who fucked him earlier in the day seeped into his Fembot mainframe and short circuited him.

You ever get cum in your eye, Seacrest? It buuuuuurns!

Miss Seacrest must be humiliated by this latest incident.

You just know how vain she is.

Jesus ! What could cause that eye to bulge out like that ??? I dont hate Ryan,I dont know enough about him TO hate him. That is some serious shit going on,I hope he went straight to a doctor.

As much as I hate Ryan for many reasons, one STILL shot doesn't convince me something's wrong. Someone picked the worst shot from from a roll and ran with it. Think, people! Thiiiiiink!

That photo is doctored. What a waste of time this thread is. Ryan has no secrets. He's just pooped.

I see Ryan's crappy publicist has chimed in at R86.

How much is he paying you to lie for him, cunt?

Video is upthread, Mary.

He totally looks like Daria’s teacher.

Perhaps he had a surgical procedure in his upper eyelids. It could be a fat injection to reduce hollowing or perhaps the removal of excess skin to reduce sagging. In the weeks following such a surgery, swelling can attack at anytime. Swelling is at its worst after waking up (in the morning or after a nap), but swelling can also be triggered by eating salt. With the eyes, the swelling can be uneven, if they procedure required one eye to have more drastic treatment than the other eye.

My boss looks like that sometimes, the more stressed or tired she is, the more pronounced it becomes. She has had several rounds of plastic surgery over the decades and now it droops on one side. It's not a stroke, they have ruled out Bell's palsy, cant imagine what it could be.... eyes roll. As I and others suggested, it probably do the the plastic surgery and skin growing at different rates. Of course, "no, no, no that couldn't be it. It's a mystery! "

Oh, r86 is a troll so ignore. I blocked a few predictably abusive trolls a year ago and r86 is invisible to me.

Seacrest responds:

[quote] Ryan Seacrest on Doing His Own TV Makeup — AND DISHES! — in Quarantine

Similar to the rest of us, Ryan Seacrest is getting used to his new normal.

In this week's issue of PEOPLE, the American Idol and Live with Kelly and Ryan host opens up about the pros and cons of working remotely, his relationship with girlfriend Shayna Taylor, and how he's balancing his professional and personal life while sheltering at home amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

"I put makeup on so many times a day because I’m doing Live with Kelly and Ryan, the Disney Family Singalong specials, and Idol," says Seacrest, 45. "It’s going okay, but I didn’t get a tutorial. I have a toiletry bag with two canisters — one called 'contour' and another called 'all over' — and honestly I can’t tell the difference. I've been told that I didn't blend a couple of times. It's all new to me!"

As he broadcasts multiple television and radio projects from the comfort of his own home, Seacrest says he's discovering new things every day — especially in his pantry!

"Shayna and I are spending a lot of time in the kitchen," he says about the 28-year-old food blogger and chef. "I feel like people all over the world are doing that. I’m doing things that I have not in a long time. Like the dishes. Loading the dishwasher. I have to tell you, I find it quite peaceful and relaxing. I never thought I’d want to go back to doing that again as not a chore."

"We’re barbecuing and trying to make as many things as we can that are relatively healthy, but fun to eat most of the time when I’m not in the other room doing a show. I’ll admit, I do spend a lot of time in the pantry cheating on different things. I’m over-pantry’ing myself," he says.

While Seacrest gave fans a scare during the Idol finale on Sunday (his words seemed slightly slurred and his right eye appeared larger than his left towards the end of the show), the star seems to be managing his heavy workload quite well.

"I've definitely been working on a lot of projects, and as everyone can relate, it can be exhausting adjusting to working remotely," he says.

"But not to worry: I'm fine," says Seacrest, "and like all of us, I just needed a 24-hour break."

[quote]"Shayna and I are spending a lot of time in the kitchen," he says about the 28-year-old food blogger and chef.

Anything to stay out of the bedroom.

Sure, Jan.

[quote] "Shayna and I are spending a lot of time in the kitchen," he says about the 28-year-old food blogger and chef.

So basically, she's his live-in private chef.

Because there is no way he is having sex with her.

"Shayna" must be making some big bucks, to be his beard.

"Adjusting to the new normal" GTFO. Only the Repig members of Congress and the deplorables swallow that kind of shit.

Don't be fucking ridiculous and expect the public to believe such nonsense. It may have been a mild stroke; it may have been no stroke at all.

But what it was NOT: It was NOT "adjusting to the new normal."

Just because he likes good clothes and has a nice haircut is no reason to accuse Ryan Seacrest of being a homosexual. He doesn't seem effeminate to me and he is very driven to succeed. I believe that Julianne Hough broke his heart. She's a little user. He could barely keep his hands off many of the female contestants back in the early American Idol days. That kind of manhandling doesn't wash now, so he's grilling at home and hanging with his GF. WHILE taping 3 or 4 shows in the other room. He's pooped! If he was a gay, wouldn't he know how to apply his own makeup?

She snorted some bad coke.

^^ 0.5 out of 10. ^^

R98 sounds exactly like the “Shawn Mendes is straight” troll.

r98 is satire, right?

Shaun Mendez is a bit lispy, but he is straight. Pop music has a long history with pretty boy heartthrobs. Shaun isn't that attractive in my eyes. But he's definitely heterosexual. He's a real guy. The trolls are the ones who accuse him of being a gay, like R101. Just because he's Canadian.

R98 is a real horror show.

Trolls gotta troll.

[quote]If he was a gay, wouldn't he know how to apply his own makeup?

Because all gays are into makeup and drag? Frau, go home. Don't you have some cooking to do, some toilets to clean, rugs to vacuum and Yankee candles to light?

And r98 also is invisible to me. Definite troll with lots of abusive past posts.

Come now R106 ! Dont you think its a tad disingenuous for this queen to be declaring he knows "nothing" about makeup when hes sat in a make up chair a zillion times ? Smells to me like shes trying to throw a butch-ism out there. "Im so hetero I dont know a THING about base or contour!"

She knows how to contour her legs around a willing top, I'll bet. Tee-hee

But Ryan and Shayna are SOOOOOOOO in love!

Whatever happened to Ryan and his "male friend?"

Ryan is the feminine looking one on the left of the photo, by the way.

"Julianne Hough thought boyfriend Ryan Seacrest 'was gay' before they began dating"

Lol.

She's so shady.

Isn't exhaustion code for drug overdose in PR speak?

R110, that bitch better get away from my man!

He's never looked gayer than in OP's picture. Wow.

R112 i wonder if he knew she was bi??

Frau at R98, go munch your rug, bitch. Your fat MAGA husband sure won't do it for you.

Wow who knew Kelly Ripa was secretly filming ‘Live’ while quarantined in the Caribbean and not their NY home?

Kelly always wins. Crying about not being hugged by her kids while fucking the gorgeous Meaty Mark deep in the Caribbean

Ryan has his own beautiful romance happening. We pray that Shayna is the one for life. Ryan deserves some long term happiness and his chance to build a family. What every real man wants to do. Ryan is not a gay. He's a man. I don't think anyone finds him really attractive though. He looks pooped. He was cute when I was 12 years old. He's inconsequential and well groomed now. Kind of a pale and flaccid. He's a wormy looking shrimp. Is that why so many accuse him of being an old gay?

I always thought he was cute., I just wanted to watch him take a shower.

R119:

“ Ryan is not a gay. He's a man. ”

I’ll just let that sit there for a minute.

Definitely looks like a mild stroke. But it wasn't a heavy burtation.

R122, I feel awful for laughing. See, that’s exactly what happened to Ryan. They don’t fall down or collapse, they think they’re making sense at first. That poor woman at r122, you can see her realize what’s happening, but she keeps trying, with her peppy voice and mannerisms. That’s what made me laugh. She’s so earnest.

I really do hope he’s okay.

Glass eye half popped out.

I had Bell’s Palsy once. Scared the living crap out of me. It really does look similar. For me, they ruled out TIA almost immediately because it was just my face. Had no problems with shoulders, legs, arms (they still did a scan).

He seems coherent.

Bell's Palsy doesn't present as rapid onset between syllables.

But doesn't the facial paralysis of Bell's Palsy usually last for quite a while? Ryan was back on TV in a couple of days and his face looked fine.

For me it was 2-3 weeks R127

R123 I always laugh at the R122 clip, too, and I always feel bad about it, too. It's not just the nonsense that's coming out of her mouth, but the earnestness with which she delivers it all. It's a very derison.

Poor thing. But she's fine now, so I feel a tiny bit less guilty laughing knowing that.

R128 Which is what makes me think Ryan had a stroke. His face was back to normal two days later when he was back on with Kelly.

[quote] Dont you think its a tad disingenuous for this queen to be declaring he knows "nothing" about makeup when hes sat in a make up chair a zillion times ?

I’ve sat in the barber’s chair “a zillion” times and I couldn’t tell you the first thing about cutting hair. I’ve also sat in the dentist chair, albeit not a zillion times, and don’t know any of what he does. My car has been on the mechanic's lift...well, you get the idea.

The fuck kind of logic is that?

*stilted voice*

I know you wanna be me, Ryan, but you’re not.

[quote] It's a very derison.

Say what now.

R129, thank you for telling me she’s alright now. I watched that video and laughed so hard I almost had to change my Depends. But, like you, I felt bad for laughing at first until you said she was okay.

Frau at R119, shouldn't you be hanging out with your kind at One Million Breeder Cunt Moms or something instead of spewing your bullshit here on a site for gays and lesbians?

It seems to be a theme, though she claimed she would “rough fuck” Louis Virtel from Jeopardy.

Here’s another gem:

[quote] Shaun Mendez is a bit lispy, but he is straight. Pop music has a long history with pretty boy heartthrobs. Shaun isn't that attractive in my eyes. But he's definitely heterosexual. [bold]He's a real guy.[/bold]

R133 Watch the R122 video and you'll understand.

Gotcha, r137.

Now it makes sense. How ironic.

I think that r76 had a Seacrest kind of stroke while typing his post.

[quote] I’ve sat in the barber’s chair “a zillion” times and I couldn’t tell you the first thing about cutting hair. I’ve also sat in the dentist chair, albeit not a zillion times, and don’t know any of what he does. My car has been on the mechanic's lift...well, you get the idea. The fuck kind of logic is that?

Or I’ve read your posts “a zillion” times and I still don't know what the hell you're babbling about. Like that?

Yet you felt the need to show your stupidity to everyone?

he looks CUTE in the thumbnail.

Is she dead yet?

[quote] Ryan was back on TV in a couple of days and his face looked fine.

Which is why I think his face is just "settling" from all the work he has had done.

Bitch has become a wax doll.

Poor Miss Seacrest!

[quote] Which is why I think his face is just "settling" from all the work he has had done.

Like an old house.

[quote] Ryan Seacrest Breaks Instagram Silence and Takes Another Day off of 'Live'

A day after returning to Live With Kelly and Ryan, the 45-year-old was all smiles in his first Instagram since appearing on American Idol’s season 18 finale. The longtime TV host's post last Wednesday showed him ready for another day of filming alongside his pup Georgia.

“Switched up the Zoom background,” he captioned the Instagram pics. “Georgia picked her favorite spot!”

The Instagram is a good sign for concerned fans. As Idol viewers know, Ryan appeared to suddenly have a swollen right eye and slurred speech while hosting the competition series on May 17. He was then absent from Live with Kelly and Ryan the Monday after the Idol finale.

Thankfully, a rep for Ryan reassured everyone that he's in good health and was simply in need of rest.

By the looks of things, Ryan's taking his rep's advice to heart. On Memorial Day, fans saw Kelly Ripa’s husband, Mark Consuelos, filling in for the co-host. Meanwhile, Ryan was taking a much-needed day off.

Before Monday, Ryan gave fans a look at what he was up to over the weekend. “A breath of fresh air.... even from behind a mask,” he wrote on Instagram this past Sunday.

Fans of the TV veteran immediately began showing their love and support in the comments section of his Sunday post. “Breathe the fresh air,” one person wrote. “Hope you’re getting back to full strength,” another added. “Looking great Ryan ❤️,” a different fan said. “Get walking my man!! 🤘🏻🔥,” a follower commented.

He is such a phony.

Why can't this bitch just admit that he suffered a stroke?

Or at least a plastic surgery malfunction.

Why must he always lie to the public?

R148, probably because he was trained by Merv Griffin and Dick Clark, two of the most ruthlessly successful Hollywood phonies.

^Oops! Sorry! Wrong thread - I hate it when that happens.

Heavy looking very Merv-like in op’s Picture.

He won't admit to a stroke because that could make him uninsurable.

[quote] He won't admit to a stroke because that could make him uninsurable.

Sure, Jan.

The guy is worth in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

He can afford the best healthcare in the world.

What the fuck does healthcare have to do with insurance in this case, Marcia? A broadcasting company is NOT going to risk putting someone on live television if there's a chance they will stroke out on air without some insurance. Queencrest can either lose his insurance completely or have to pay sky-high premiums to keep working on air if they confirm it was a stroke.

Well you didn't specify what kind of insurance, numb nuts R152/R154.

Next time, be clear.

I am astonished that he has fans.....but then so do the Kardashians.....

He should take a few weeks off and recuperate in the Caribbean with Kelly and her family.

I can't believe people like this have "fans".

Why does the bastard work like a starving man? He is an idiot.

Something brushed up against the painting of himself hidden in the closet.

Trust.

Could have been too many xanax?

[quote] He should take a few weeks off and recuperate in the Caribbean with a gaggle of male prostitutes.

FIFY.

Stroke? I thought he looked and sounded totally normal.

[quote]Could have been too many xanax?

I cannot imagine a world in which this is even a possibility.

Transient ischemic stroke. A brief brain event that usually affects one side and causes no permanent effects.

Jeez, that is one REALLY pulled-back face.

How is Ryan able to avoid the virus by flying bacjs and forth between both coasts these days?
