Ryan Seacrest Sex Harassment Allegations Detailed In New Report

HOLLYWOOD, CA — Ryan Seacrest's personal stylist at E! has accused him of sexual harassment, the details of which were outlined in a new report Monday. Variety reported that Seacrest's stylist for E! News accused the TV host of subjecting her to years of unwanted sexual advances, including an instance when he was visibly aroused and rubbed his genitalia against her while wearing only his underwear.

The woman also accused Seacrest of groping her genitalia and slapping her buttocks so hard that she was left with a welt.

Variety said the allegations were outlined both in interviews with the news outlet and in a letter written in November and addressed to the cable channel, its corporate parent NBCUniversal and Seacrest.

The alleged abuses ended in 2013 when the woman's employment ended, Variety said.

Seacrest has repeatedly denied the allegations. He said in November his former wardrobe stylist had suggested he engaged in inappropriate behavior and said that at the time he was sorry if he made her feel “anything but respected.”

Seacrest also disputed the allegations and called them “reckless."

E! previously said in a statement a third party was hired to investigate the allegations, but that there wasn't enough evidence to support them. E! said it was committed to providing everyone a safe working environment where they are respected and treated with dignity.

Seacrest was one of the highest paid TV entertainers in the world last year, earning $58 million, Forbes magazine reported.
