Cuba Gooding Jr. Got Dragged on Twitter After Lifting Sarah Paulson’s Dress Onstage
Sunday night, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Sarah Paulson appeared together on a panel for American Horror Story. When Kathy Bates walked onstage for the panel, Paulson got up to say hi to her and Gooding got up and lifted her dress.

Paulson pulled her dress down, and it seemed like she and Gooding both took the whole thing as a joke. The Internet, however, did not, and Gooding immediately got dragged on Twitter.
Okay, yes I went back to screenshot this. But does he seriously think this is okay? @cubagoodingjr @MsSarahPaulson pic.twitter.com/xHEnURhY3H

It turns out Cuba Gooding Jr is a dickhead who has no respect for women. He had absolutely no right to lift Sarah Paulson’s dress like it ??

Cuba Gooding Jr. has just embarrassed himself at #AHS Paleyfest. This is junior high behavior. Leave the women alone https://t.co/wdMdJR161O

Um… so is @cubagoodingjr allowed to get away with lifting @MsSarahPaulson skirt at @paleycenter? Total disrespect to a woman

Digital Spy pointed out that Gooding had already pulled on her dress earlier in the show and Paulson slapped his hand away, so maybe it’s some sort of running gag between them. The rest of the panel continued on as planned.
