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.
