Kesha Reveals Disappointment in Seinfeld's Hug Rebuke and the Media's Reaction

Jerry Seinfeld snubbed Kesha's request for a hug at an event in 2017, leading her to call it "the saddest moment" of her life.
Kesha told "The Best Show with Tom Scharpling" that she used to carry Seinfeld's comedy around with her but now is thinking twice about hugging strangers following the awkward encounter.
Seinfeld declined to hug Kesha because he didn't know who she was and prefers not to hug people he doesn't know.
Media outlets picked up the story, reporting Kesha's comment that it was the "saddest moment of my life" out of context.
Kesha and Seinfeld have since laughed about the incident, but Kesha's comments brought more attention to the initial rebuff than she had intended.
