Despite E!'s plans to speak to only "friendly' celebrities and screen many interviews for mentions of Ryan Seacrest's sexual misconduct allegations before airing them, it seems that interviewers on other shows will not be avoiding the Ryan Seacrest topic. The executive producer of Access (formerly Access Hollywood) is preparing the show's hosts to ask celebrities questions about the MeToo movement and then “we will ask them whether or not they will talk to Ryan Seacrest.” Interestingly, Access is an NBC show and NBC also owns E!.
Keeping Ryan Seacrest on the Oscars red carpet tells women their stories don't matter https://t.co/NXTaCghekE

How are women in Hollywood supposed to make small talk with a man accused of sexual harassment tonight at the #Oscars90 asks @jennyalyse

In fact, I Hope they ask only the men so we can see who goes "Well, I don't know all the facts, he's always been nice to me."
If he didn't show up today, it would be like an admission of guilt, and they're not going to do that. Look at who's in the White House, even after he was caught on tape bragging about being a sexual abuser. With an example like that, you can see why this is the route Ryan is taking. They're all scum.
The Access angle is also interesting because they're the ones who fired Billy Bush for his part in the Trvmp tape. The producers must be enjoying Ryan's time in the barrel.
Of course NBC would do this. They want praise for Access Hollywood taking Ryan Seacrest down but continue to pay Ryan Seacrest to stand on the red carpet for E!, an NBC network. Like how they got praise for taking Trump down on SNL but won't release the Apprentice tapes. They want their cake and dammit, they're going to eat it all too.
