Taraji Henson Blatantly Cursed Ryan Seacrest While Being Interviewed By Him

At this point, you’ve just got to wonder why Ryan Seacrest even showed up. Even if he is innocent of the sexual harassment allegations against him, there was no way the E! red carpet coverage was going to be anything but awkward with him at the helm.

After there was some rumours that E! were considering a thirty second delay on their broadcast to quickly address any confrontations if they did arise, his actual red carpet coverage was pretty uneventful – even if it did allegedly involve a number of stars dodging interviews with him.

But there was a little bit of shade – if the eagle-eyed Oscars viewers of Twitter are to be believed which they absolutely should be). Seacrest interviewed actress Taraji P. Henson, who seemingly made a jab at him, leading to a very awkward pause.

“You know what? The universe has a way of taking care of the good people,” Henson says to Seacrest in a seemingly unprompted aside. “You know what I mean?” 

As she said it, she reached out and touched Seacrest’s chin, leading him to quickly say “I agree,” and pausing.

Yes, Taraji. I would say we know what you mean.
