Jerry Seinfeld explained why he snubbed Kesha and refused to give her a hug during an event in Washington, D.C. "I'm 63, I don't know every pop star," he defended himself in an interview with Extra. "I don't know everyone."

"I was right in the middle of an interview, it was a little off," he said. "When you get to be my age and you've done a couple things, you have your own reality, in my reality, I don't hug a total stranger. I have to meet someone, say hello. I gotta start somewhere ... hug isn't first moment of a human, two humans. I never did that."
