Seinfeld is well known to not like being touched.

If Kesha was a big fan she would have known he is a germaphobe. Literally a whole episode about Jerry refusing to kiss his gf because he dropped her toothbrush in the toilet. Not to mention hes being interviewed, she should have been respectful and waited until he was finished.

This is extra hilarious when you consider he still tours to sellout crowds

What I love about the clip is Seinfeld is talking about trying to get to sleep while tired.
It's such a normal Seinfeld bit before it gets interrupted for the hug.
It must always suck for a celebrity to not get recognised, but somehow I don't think the 63 year old Seinfeld is in Kesha's demographic. So she shouldn't feel too bad.

George would then afterwards change his tone completely when he sees her and question Jerry later why he didn't let her hug him and then rant about attractive women never wanting to hug him.
ielgh, that's nasty

I'm not saying she should have known or anything like that but I can understand the germaphobe part of Seinfeld. I'm not a germaphobe but I have other issues where random touching, hugs or general closeness of people will freak me out and cause me to have a panic attack or freeze up. It's always awkward to tell people don't touch me or refuse a hug and its never meant to insult or mean I dislike someone but its almost always taken that way and immediately causes people to think you're an asshole even if they say they are cool with it. It sucks and there isn't much you can do about it.
In truth I don't really know who Keisha is either. I'm pretty sure she is in music but beyond that, don't know.
He or anyone has the right to their comfort zone. Especially if you are in the middle of an interview and get surprised by someone you don't actually know, you might not recognize them and as he did, thought she was just another random person.
He just wasn't down for the hug. If someone has said no once, then you push, and they deny you again, and you keep insisting, then you are putting them in an uncomfortable position. You are forcing them to deny you yet again making it awkward.
She asked for the hug thinking she would get it. When denied she might ask again thinking he was joking. But reading his body language you can tell he was uncomfortable. If she would have dropped it there it would have been fine. But she became rude when she persisted and he had to force the denial.

During Leno interview you can see Kesha walk behind him saying 'he doesnt want a hug'

Yeah needs to stay relevant after co creating the biggest show in the past two decades. Poor guy. Not like he denied a tenth season or anything.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Jerry has every right to not want to be hugged.. but as someone who liked his show.. he's a pretty unlikable dude...
He has that same smug attitude Jay Leno has. Just always comes across as stuck up.

Some people on the video's Reddit thread came together and started writing a Seinfeld episode in comment form about the whole encounter.
You can read it here.
It's pretty great.

Imagine if was a guy trying to hug a girl saying no thank you.

I wouldn't want to randomly be hugged in the middle of talking to someone else, either. He had all the right.
This...is perfect...

I don't know if I'd recognize Kesha in real life. She changes her look so often and hides behind big hair/crazy makeup/wacky outfits so much as a performer I find it hard to form a mental image.
All of this is nonsense back pedaling. Just because he isn't doing 30 movies a year aka Kevin Hart or Dwayne Johnson doesn't mean he's "falling off". He's still one of the most valuable comedians on the planet, and he's still creating new content and STILL doing shows.
C'mon son.

She's too old. If she was 17 he would have hugged her no problem.

Even Slash, who's probably used to stuff like that, was like "...What"
