Please cast your poor, tired mind back to 2017 (almost impossible, I know), aka the fated year when Kesha ran into Jerry Seinfeld on the red carpet and he straight-up refused to hug her.

If you’d like to feel levels of cringe you never thought possible, watch the below video—but it basically consists of Kesha running up to Jerry and saying, “I’m Kesha, I love you so much
can I give you a hug?” and Jerry responding, “No thanks.” Oh, and he then tells the person interviewing him, “I don’t know who that was.”

Jerry later told Extra, “When you get to be my age and you’ve done a couple things, you have your own reality. In my reality, I don’t hug a total stranger. I have to meet someone, say hello. I gotta start somewhere. Hug is not first moment of a human, two humans. I never did that.”

But apparently, the moment was a huge bummer for Kesha. Speaking to The Best Show With Tom Scharpling, Kesha explained that she is a huge Seinfeld fan—to the point where she carried her DVDs of the show “around the world internationally.”

As she put it, “When it got bumpy on planes, I would pop in Seinfeld and I would just be like ‘Everything’s okay in the world’ and watch my buddy Jerry. So then I get to the fucking charity event, and I got really excited because he brings me peace and love and all things good in the universe, and then he didn’t hug me in front of cameras. And it was the most depressing and hilarious but also so sad—it was, like, the saddest moment of my life.”

Gonna need Jerry to give Kesha a hug ASAP.
