Variety

“We shouldn’t have to make those choices of, ‘Do we or don’t we?'” says Tarana Burke, founder of the #MeToo movement, adding that Seacrest shouldn't be on the red carpet. This is not about his guilt or innocence,” she adds. “It’s about there being an accusation that’s alive, and until they sort of out, it’s really on E! News and shouldn’t be on us. … It will let us know where they stand in terms of how respectful E! News is of this issue – and of women.”
