Ryan Seacrest
E! has no plans to drop  Ryan Seacrest  from his long-held red carpet hosting duties for this Sunday's Academy Awards  despite his former stylist going public Monday with claims that he repeatedly sexual harassed  her  â allegations the TV star denies.
This awards season has been dominated by the Time's Up movement  but  Seacrest  will be on the Oscars red carpet for what is arguably the biggest event of the season. E! conducted a probe into the allegation  which was brought to its attention in November  but found "insufficient evidence" to substantiate the claims.
An ABC spokesperson also said  Seacrest  would continue his duties on Live with Kelly and Ryan  as well as the reboot of American Idol  which is slated to premiere March 11.
Suzie Hardy  who said  Seacrest  harassed her  went public with her story Monday  telling Variety that he grabbed her genitals  gave her a "bear hug" while wearing only underpants  and forcefully slapped her buttocks  leaving a red welt.
She told Variety that E!'s human resources department sought her out for an interview in 2013 to inquire about the relationship between her and  Seacrest . âI was very proud to say âNo  I donât [have a physical relationship with  Seacrest ] ââ she said she told them. âI never touched him  I never kissed him  I never fucked him  nothing. But I said  âBut he touched me.ââ
