<p>In light of the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment revelations that have rocked Hollywood and dominated the headlines over the past few weeks, it seems not even a knee touch during a talk show will go by unnoticed.</p>
<p>On Saturday night, movie star Adam Sandler found himself sitting on the couch of BBC&#8217;s <em>The Graham Norton Show </em>along side his <em>The Meyerowitz Stories</em> co-star Emma Thompson to his right and actress Claire Foy of <em>The Crown </em>to his left. Model/actress Cara Delevinge was also there watching the &#8220;event&#8221; unfold.</p>
<p>In the clip below, Sandler is in the middle of telling a chat-show story when he touches Foy&#8217;s knee with his hand and quickly removes it before touching it again:</p>

<p>In context it seems Sandler is saying that he took his parents as his guests when he was nominated for a Golden Globe. He touches the actress&#8217; knee. Foy then awkwardly smiles and tries to pat his hand before he moves it away. Acknowledging her reaction, Sandler places his hand back on her knee, adding, &#8220;Just like you,&#8221; which seems to reference Foy taking her parent(s) to an award ceremony or event.</p>
<p>Apparently this 10 second exchange was enough to have Twitterers claiming &#8220;This is not OK&#8221;:</p>
<p>[[{&#8220;fid&#8221;:&#8221;26430&#8243;,&#8221;view_mode&#8221;:&#8221;default&#8221;,&#8221;fields&#8221;:{&#8220;format&#8221;:&#8221;default&#8221;,&#8221;field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]&#8221;:false,&#8221;field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]&#8221;:&#8221;Twitter&#8221;},&#8221;type&#8221;:&#8221;media&#8221;,&#8221;field_deltas&#8221;:{&#8220;2&#8221;:{&#8220;format&#8221;:&#8221;default&#8221;,&#8221;field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]&#8221;:false,&#8221;field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]&#8221;:&#8221;Twitter&#8221;}},&#8221;attributes&#8221;:{&#8220;title&#8221;:&#8221;Twitter&#8221;,&#8221;class&#8221;:&#8221;media-element file-default&#8221;,&#8221;data-delta&#8221;:&#8221;2&#8243;}}]]</p>
<p>Others claimed they were &#8220;very uncomfortable&#8221; watching the exchange:</p>
<p>[[{&#8220;fid&#8221;:&#8221;26433&#8243;,&#8221;view_mode&#8221;:&#8221;default&#8221;,&#8221;fields&#8221;:{&#8220;format&#8221;:&#8221;default&#8221;,&#8221;field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]&#8221;:false,&#8221;field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]&#8221;:&#8221;Twitter&#8221;},&#8221;type&#8221;:&#8221;media&#8221;,&#8221;field_deltas&#8221;:{&#8220;4&#8221;:{&#8220;format&#8221;:&#8221;default&#8221;,&#8221;field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]&#8221;:false,&#8221;field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]&#8221;:&#8221;Twitter&#8221;}},&#8221;attributes&#8221;:{&#8220;title&#8221;:&#8221;Twitter&#8221;,&#8221;class&#8221;:&#8221;media-element file-default&#8221;,&#8221;data-delta&#8221;:&#8221;4&#8243;}}]]</p>
<p>According to <em><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5027717/Twitter-slams-Adam-Sandler-touches-Claire-Foy-s-knee.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Daily Mail</a></em>, a representative for Foy said that she was not offended by what had happened.</p>
<p>&#8220;We don&#8217;t believe anything was intended by Adam&#8217;s gesture and it has caused no offense to Claire,&#8221; a spokeswoman told the news outlet.</p>
<p>Sandler&#8217;s reps told the reporter that his client&#8217;s actions were &#8220;a friendly gesture&#8221; that have been &#8220;blown out of proportion.&#8221;</p>
