The pair seemed to be civil for the remainder of the discussion, however after seeing footage and photos of Cuba’s actions, fan were quick to express their alarm.
“Sarah is the only one who can answer that, since it happened to her. A planned publicity stunt, or grace under humiliation?” One user penned.
Another remarked, “FYI the reason @MsSarahPaulson is smiling is bc @MsKathyBates, then screams out of shock at the disrespectful actions of @cubagoodingjr”
There were a few that defended the 49-year-old actor, quipping, “Hate to break it to ya snowflake, but the only one allowed to complain is Sarah Paulson.”
But the overwhelming reaction towards the actor’s antics were shock and outrage.
So far, neither party have commented.
