Cuba Gooding Jr. staged his own American Horror Story onstage at Los Angeles PaleyFest Sunday when he lifted up the dress of his co-star Sarah Paulson.

As the cast of American Horror Story: Roanoke took the stage to discuss the sixth season of the FX anthology series, Gooding lifted the hem of Paulson's dress to expose its slit, as she was greeting co-star Kathy Bates.

Official photos from the event clearly show Gooding playing with Paulson's dress, and this video from an audience member also catches him in the act.

Twitter screenshots show Gooding's transgressive act in greater detail.

While Paulson appeared to smile through the incident, not everyone on social media was laughing.
