- Nicole Bitette

RYAN SEACREST denies acting inappropri­ately toward a stylist while he was working for E! after an unidentifi­ed woman accused him of misconduct. The TV host issued a statement Friday about the allegation­s even though the woman has yet to go public.

The woman n reportedly asked for a substantia­l amount of money in exchange for her silence, but Seacrest and his lawyers refused the offer.

“Recently, someone that worked as a wardrobe stylist for me nearly a decade ago o at E! News came forward with a complaint suggesting I behaved inappropri­ately toward her,” Seacrest said. “If I made her feel anything but respected, I am truly sorry. I dispute these reckless allegation­s and I plan to cooperate with any corporate inquiries that may result.” E! News is investigat­ing the matter with Seacrest’s cooperatio­n.
