During Paleyfest in LA, Cuba Gooding Jr. took it upon himself to lift Sarah Paulson’s dress. Maybe it was some sort of egregiously unfunny joke or just one of those things where men feel like they can do whatever to women without consequences. It’s impossible to say! According to Perez Hilton, Paulson played it off and laughed about it. But she was the only one — on Twitter, fans were outraged.

Simpson,” and “American Horror Story: Roanoake” together are reportedly good friends, which still isn’t exactly an excuse for this behavior. Neither has commented on the story. More importantly, what would Paulson’s partner Holland Taylor say?! Probably, “Hands off my lady, scum.” Probably.
