Watch: No, Billy Porter Did Not Throw Shade at RuPaul During the Emmys

A video clip of Billy Porter's reaction to RuPaul's speech after winning Outstanding Reality Show for "RuPaul's Drag Race" during the Emmys Sunday night has gone viral. But the "Pose" star is denying he was giving the side-eye to the iconic drag queen.

In the clip that has made its way around social media in the last few days, RuPaul is urging viewers to register to vote. The camera cuts to members fo the audience, including Taraji P. Henson and Patricia Arquette, who are both smiling and applauding Ru. When the camera cut to Porter, he's neither seen smiling nor clapping and instead has a blank look on his face, sparking a number of Twitter users to suspect he was throwing shade at the "Drag Race" host.

After Porter won his own Emmy for "Pose," becoming the first openly gay black man to take home the gold for Outstanding Actor in a Drama, reporters were quick to ask him about the incident.

"Let me make this clear right now in this room to everybody. Right now. There was never a side-eye coming from me," he said. "There's never anything negative coming from me. You're never going to get from it. Okay. It's all love, all love, it's all positivity. Don't come to me with that."

He went on to say the camera caught him at the wrong time and then praised RuPaul, People magazine reports.

"They can catch me and it can look like a side-eye, [but] RuPaul is a friend of mine," Porter said. "I am so proud of him. I stand on his shoulders. I stand on his shoulders. He is doing it. He paved the way for me, so there's never a side-eye about that."
