Seal is not jumping on the #Oprah2020 bandwagon.

The 54-year-old singer went to Instagram to share his distaste for the media mogul, who he criticized for being friends with Harvey Weinstein.

"Oh I forgot, that's right.....you'd heard the rumours but you had no idea he was actually serially assaulting young stary-eyed actresses who in turn had no idea what they were getting into," read the Instagram post next to photos of Oprah and Weinstein being chummy in photos together.

Weinstein has been accused of sexual misconduct by over 30 women since the New York Times' expose came out last October. Before the scandal, it was only natural for Weinstein and Oprah to cross paths since both are major players in the entertainment industry. However, it seems that Seal thinks Oprah wasn't letting on more than she knew.

After her inspirational Golden Globe Awards speech placed the idea of a presidential run in constituents’ minds, there's been an outpouring of support that includes Oprah 2020 merch and the resurfacing of an old Boondocks episode her election. Still, it appears Seal isn't hopping on the bandwagon any time soon.
