Critics watch The Golden Globes red carpet with lazer-like focus, ready to burn celebrities for fashion missteps. But beyond any errant pump or poorly-chosen clutch, a simple black bracelet was being targeted for entirely different reasons.
The band, with ‘Time’s Up’ stamped in bold, white lettering, was on the wrist of US television host and super-producer, Ryan Seacrest – a man who only 11 months ago was dodging accusations of sexual harassment by his personal stylist, Suzie Hardy.
As Variety reported in February 2017, Hardy had filed a police report alleging the American Idol host had subjected her to unwanted physical contact numerous times over her decade-long employment with the E! network, including “grinding his erect penis against her while clad only in his underwear, groping her vagina, and at one point slapping her buttock so hard that it left a large welt still visible hours later.”
Seacrest strongly denied the allegations and an independent investigation commissioned by parent company NBCUniversal cleared him of any wrongdoing. But Hardy claims the outside counsel’s probe was incomplete and failed to interview key witnesses, including her therapist and then-partner.

Eh, audiences are just as willing to over looks someone's abusive behaviour if said person creates a rush of blood away from the brain and to their genitals.
Jason Momoa, for example.
Nooo please tell me Jason Momoa isnt one of the bad ones!!
He hasn't been accused of physically abusing anyone, but he and Amber Heard spoke at a press conference about his behaviour on the Aquaman set, how when they weren't filming he'd destroy her books because she wouldn't pay him attention. The film makers ended up making her a special bag to keep them in so he couldn't get to them.
It's not physical, but it's still shockingly abusive behaviour.

Thanks funbun. After your post I googled him and found he has also made some pretty gross comments about getting to pretend to rape one of his co stars in Game of Thrones. He's pretty but a pig.
"He's pretty but a pig" is a great way to sum it up. And we keep finding out more and more people are like that unfortunately :(
