"I treat all my colleagues with kindness, dignity, and understanding, as this is a principle that's core to who I am.'
"Throughout my 25 years in the entertainment industry, the majority of my co-workers have been women, and I've endeavored to foster a positive work environment of mutual respect and courtesy, as that's how I believe it should be.
"I'm distraught that anyone or any situation would call that into question. I'm proud of my workplace reputation, and believe my track record will speak for itself. I'm an advocate for women. I will continue to support their voices."
Seacrest, whose girlfriend is Shayna Taylor, refused to get drawn on the specifics involving the allegations.
