Ryan Seacrest was apparently shunned by a host of A list stars on the Oscars red carpet on Sunday night after the television presenter was forced to deny claims of sexual misconduct.
On a night when the Me Too movement and the issue of sexual harassment took centre stage, some of Hollywood’s biggest female stars chose not to stop to talk to the Oscars pre-show host, including Margot Robbie, Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone and Gal Gadot.
Seacrest is a regular feature on the red carpet at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, interviewing the biggest names in the film industry as they arrive for the awards show.
But this year his appearance was overshadowed by sexual harassment allegations against him made public less than a week before the big day.
Suzie Hardy, a former wardrobe stylist for E!, claimed he was responsible for years of sexual abuse and harassment towards her, including unwanted physical attention, sexual remarks and repeated groping.
