The Blackest Moments Of The 90th Oscars

- By

Ryan Seacrest and Taraji

There was a lot of discussion about whether or not it would be appropriate for Ryan Seacrest to host the Oscar red carpet after he was accused of sexual assault. Ultimately, he made the cut. And after several actresses skipped him on the red carpet he finally had what I’ll call a very…interesting exchange with Taraji P. Henson.

Folks immediately assumed that she used the moment to send a message.

Afterward, Taraji issued a statement to People saying that her message had been misconstrued.

“I did it to keep his chin up. It’s an awkward position to be in. He’s been cleared but anyone can say anything.” She said she absolutely supports Seacrest.

Alright girl…but the rest of us will be watching.
