*Did Ryan Seacrest get shaded by Taraji P. Henson Sunday on the red carpet at the Oscars? That’s what the internet is claiming after the actress responded to his question about Best Supporting Actress nominee Mary J. Blige.
“The universe has a way of taking care of taking care of good people,” Henson, 47, said, touching his chin. “Know what I mean?”
Lest you forget that Seacrest, 43, who’s hosting Oscars red carpet coverage for E!, was accused of sexual misconduct by former stylist Suzy Hardy. So knowing that, what do think of what Henson said after moving on to the next interview?
“I’m great now that I’m in your company,” Vulture’s Mark Harris tweeted as Henson spoke with ABC’s Wendi Mclendon-Covey.
Damn. Snap! Double snap! Well, if it wasn’t shade, we don’t quite know what to call it.
Seacrest was first accused of misconduct by Hardy in November, alleging he grabbed her crotch multiple times. E! concluded its investigation last month, noting they had found “insufficient evidence to support the claims against Seacrest.” The “American Idol” host has vehemently denied the claims against him.
“I have no choice but to again deny the claims against me, remind people that I was recused of any wrongdoing, and put the matter to rest,” Seacrest said in a statement.

Because of the negativity surrounding Seacrest, it was reported that a lot publicists for A-listers would avoid him on the Oscars red carpet, however, according to Page Six, 21 people stopped to talk to Seacrest on Sunday.
Nominees Allison Janney and Mary J. Blige, “Live with Kelly and Ryan” co-host Kelly Ripa and husband Mark Consuelos talked to Seacrest, as did Donald Sutherland, the recipient of an honorary Oscar at the Governors Award ceremony last November.
He found an ally in Blige, 47, who said he is “fighting for his life right now.”
Here’s what some folks online are saying …
Litebrite: “Wow. That was the best shade since Mariah’s “I don’t know her.”
Slaycoulee: “I love when the shade goes over the person’s head,” 🙂 🙂
Mellosass: “She was nice and nasty at the same time. The perfect amount of professionalism and shade.”
