Despite being accused of sexual assault by his former E! News assistant last week, Ryan Seacrest has been holding red-carpet court for the network at the Oscars, chatting with everyone from Allison Janney to Mary J. Blige to Christopher Plummer.

Henson briefly took a turn for the shady when she subtly brought up karmic destiny — and what happens to all of the baddies out there. “The universe has a way of taking care of the good people,” Henson said, reaching out and touching Seacrest’s chin, “you know what I mean?” Cue an awkward silence. Yeah, we know what you mean.
