Maria Menounos took a beating on Twitter Sunday as she covered the arrival of A-list celebrities during E!’s Live From the Red Carpet coverage of the 2015 SAG Awards.
The throng of haters included fans of Giuliana Rancic, who begged for the return of their fav red carpet commentator, unaware that she was still on vacation.
Maria Menounos, who recently made a move from hosting Extra to E!, where she will have her own series, Untold with Maria Menounos. She also will be a regular commentator for red carpet events, retain a permanent position on their roundtable series Live From E! and participate in upcoming E! specials.
Unfortunately, it looks like viewers aren’t all that thrilled with E!‘s decision to hire Maria Menounos.

Maria Menounos is such a terrible interviewer. It physically hurts to watch this.

Maria Menounos needs to work on her red carpet interviewing. Way too many awkward silences and rushes through list of questions. #SAGAwards
