''Huffington, however, denies anything was amiss — saying the touchy-feely photos were a nod to a TV sketch they did together in 1996.
“The notion that there was anything inappropriate in this photo shoot is truly absurd,” she said in a statement to The Post.
“Al and I did a comedic sketch for Bill Maher’s ‘Politically Incorrect’ called ‘Strange Bedfellows,’ in which the whole point, as the name makes clear, was that we were doing political commentary from bed. This shoot was looking back at the sketch, and we were obviously hamming it up for comedic effect.
“I’ve been great friends with Al and his wife Franni for over 20 years and there has never been anything remotely inappropriate in our interactions.”
In fact, Huffington — the co-founder of The Huffington Post and CEO of wellness company Thrive Global — has previously credited their in-bed interviews as having made her career.''
