Ryan Seacrest's Oscars Red Carpet Coverage Will Be Delayed Amid Allegations

Ryan Seacrest‘s coverage of the Oscars for E! News is set to be aired with a delay.

According to THR, the network wants to prevent the airing of any potential backlash against Ryan amid sexual misconduct claims.

The reported 30-second delay of the live broadcast would allow E! to filter any potential awkward moments.

Meanwhile, E! says things will be “business as usual” on the red carpet.

“As always, we tape multiple sources of content simultaneously to deliver the best possible show, and there are often brief delays between interviews,” an E! spokesperson told THR.

Earlier, #MeToo founder Tarana Burke spoke out about Ryan‘s appearance at the Oscars and didn’t agree with E!‘s choice.
