AceShowbiz - Apparently, Ryan Seacrest has another supporter besides his attorneys in sexual harassment allegation against him. Kris Jenner posted a photograph of her and Ryan on her Twitter account, showing support for him ahead of the 2018 Academy Awards on Sunday, March 4.
She wrote on her Twitter post, "Oscar Sunday wouldn't be the same without you @ryanseacrest @giulianarancic!! Can't WAIT to watch you on the Red Carpet tonight!! I look forward to this night every year! I'm so proud of you!! #BFF #beautifulheart #E! #TheOscars #Oscars2018 #AcademyAwards #AcademyAwards2018."

Besides Kris and Khloe, Kelly Ripa has shown her support for Ryan. Earlier this week, she said to her co-host on "Live with Kelly and Ryan", "I cannot wait to see you (at the Oscars)." She added, "I just want you to know that you are a privilege to work with and I adore you. I'm speaking on behalf of all of us here. I know what an easy, professional, great person you are, and I feel very, very lucky to work with you each and every day. And we all do, we all do."
Ryan has been accused of sexual abuse and harassment by former "E! News" stylist, Suzie Hardy. Suzie, who started working as Ryan's personal stylist for "E! News" in 2007, claimed that she experienced years of unwanted sexual aggression from Ryan, including Ryan "grinding his erect penis against her while he was only in underwear, groping her vagina, and at one point slapping her buttock so hard that I left a large mark still visible several hours later." She said that the reason she didn't report that sexual abuse at the time was because she still needed the job before she was fired. As it usually goes, Ryan has repeatedly denied the accusation. His attorney even stated that Suzzie just wanted money.
Ryan performed his duty without any intervention at the 2018 Oscars. He interviewed a handful of celebrities on the red carpet, including Taraji P. Henson who said to Ryan, "You know, the universe has a way of taking care of the good people. You know what I mean?" She was referring to the recent accusation against him and implied that he was not guilty.
The "American Idol" host also interviewed Allison Janney, Christopher Plummer, Andy Serkis, Richard Jenkins, Mary J. Blige, Whoopi Goldberg and Tiffany Haddish among others.
