in their defense, they just could have been uncomfortable by the whole thing

Ya, sadly the audience doesn’t have a choice. They’re paid to literally sit & clap. If u don’t clap or show enthusiasm, you get kicked out. So it’s sucks when people get set as audience members on crap shows & don’t want to keep applauding- but have to :(

@@brigettenicole2943 i don’t think they get paid.

@@dkdkxkcjfjfjfj they do. I used to work on shows & get paid for just sitting in as an audience member. half the audience is paid & the other half are tourists/ppl that want to check out the studio/shows.

Back during this interview, everyone was laughing at her. I'm not saying it's right, but Dave wasn't alone in his mockery. And, hell, people online TODAY are much worse. Just look at any post made by Christy Teigen.

what a spoiled brat f u!!@ she doesnt get to choose the questions!!! no reputable interviewer bends to a dimwits will

@UCIzsQiUoJ6NrGcNEWPx04Og Please shut the hell up, you clearly have no social awareness to understand the objective situation here. He continued to unnecessarily make insensitive questions and comments on something she insisted was NOT supposed to be brought up in the interview. This is not the case of her being a spoiled brat because "too bad you don't get to choose the question, he's the interviewer". If you knew anything about what these late night interviews do, it's clear cut he did this to openly mock her substance abuse which you would never do to any self-respecting human being. Letterman is the brat in this case, pretending like it's okay to keep pushing his luck by disrespecting a guest for desperate attention. You're most likely a sociopathic narcissistic. Please get psychologically evaluated before you get knocked out by someone with a human conscious.

@@hughjazzole2037 *Then Letterman should have explained to her IN THE PRE-INTERVIEW what his objective was going to be.*

@@TonyEnglandUK how do u know he didnt??

Well put! Especially since she wasn’t even told he’d ask her these questions. I would have just shut down. Especially after all of the vitriol she’s experienced, she’s amazing.

@@JMarie-lf1rs She knew he was going to ask, despite the pre-interview comment. Dave ALWAYS asks. He's always been like that. So she at least knew it was possible.

@@billybatson7852 the preinterview should have all the questions, that's a fact, david is a sick senile and very sad man triggering her for no plausible reason.

@@vicparaleigos Yes, but pre-interview agreements are broken quite a bit. Either she or her publicist who arranged it - or both - had to be complete idiots to think that Dave wouldn't bring it up. He had a history of going after guests for this kind of stuff. And what do you mean for no plausible reason? She went to an awards show on the same fucking day that she went into jail, for god's sake... and then immediately tried to get attention for the product she was selling before the stench of the jail was even off her. Let's not pretend that Paris was an innocent person here. She knew what she might be getting into with Dave, but she was desperate for attention and money.

@@vicparaleigos She liked making jokes about her life. But his innocent but harsh question "how is this [rehab] time be different?" hurt her. But she recovered from it and hit back with jokes. Letterman is innocent.

I'm pretty sure she said "its hurtful towards people"

@@meepmorp99 nope. She literally said "it's hurtful towards me.."

@@crypandora66 Where did she say that?

Les Moonves is behind this.

Yeah David lettershit didnt get the clue.. what an asshole and in front of the audience..

Yes. And I see something deeper and darker and sadder here. Specifically from minute 2:15 forward. Lindsay cries and inside she feels like someone worthless, who lives only to amuse people at the cost of trampling on her own human being. She even makes the rehab and vodka joke to reaffirm that. "I am a clown that serves to make people laugh. But I am worth nothing inside." And Lindsay cries keeping her smile, she cries but still crying she tries to make the others laugh. Her face (beloved and beautiful face) makes an effort to smile while crying. And also to appear funny while inside she feels that she is only useful to be made fun of. That's why now 2023 that she is already a mom, I love seeing that she is a new and better person. I love to see that she is happy. She inspires and wants to bring happiness to the world. Precious Lindsay. God bless her always. Love to Lindsay

And.... yet no one else calls her out on it... All the other people just let her promote her film and ignore the pain, let her get away with the terrible behavior. Good on Dave for not covering it up.

😔

He was scolding her .

@@MoreKornflakes more like public humiliation. What good was he honestly hoping to achieve there.. if he cared about her well being enough to constructively scold her, it definitely could have been a personal call or conversation, imo

Cassie D That's not crazy...that's Hollywood. How many _OTHER_ child stars have had their lives ruined b/c of Hollywood enabling them to have access to drugs at such a young age? And nothing is said or done about it. It's criminal. Instead of trying to help them, they turn their backs on them (and/or ridicule them). I'm just glad this girl has straightened her life out now(so I hear).

@@cl8onj388 I'm not saying its unusual or uncommon, I'm just saying its not right. I agree that it's criminal. Its disgusting how Hollywood treats children; I don't have much good to say about most of the parents either. I'm glad to hear she's on a better path now too.

@@cassied9327 I'm just glad she didn't end up like Dana Plato, the actress from "Different Strokes". She was found dead in a trailer of a drug overdose. They turned a blind eye to her. Really sad.

@Witty Witty For somebody called “Witty Witty”, you don’t seem to have much wit.

Letterman did that at the edict of his exist boss Les Moonves. I mean, look at LiLo now, she's back on her feet while Les Moonves on the other hand, is jobless now, LOL.

@Witty Witty She's still human, dude. Stop hating.

Exactly !!!! Lindsey kept her composure so well and she stayed so professional about it while being able to have better humor than he did. She won 👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾

@@karlc2869 LEtterman did nothing because of Les. Les is a billonare living out his life.

Yes, it was pretty brutal. I liked Dave, I never seen him be such an insensitive prick here. I couldn’t believe what an ass he was. No wonder this girl has had all her problems, having to be mocked in front of the whole world. Felt bad for her, hope she’s doing alright.

@@mick2spic She’s had a really tough time - I really wish her all the best 😔🙏♥️♥️♥️

@@hus390 Letterman is innocent? Absolutely not. An idiot could see that she was uncomfortable with what was being asked of her. Either he was too blind to see this or he could see it and didn’t care. That woman could have had a breakdown right on that stage with what was being said to her, but she desperately tried to hold it together as she knew all eyes were on her. She even said she hadn’t discussed this in the pre-interview, so obviously she wasn’t expecting this. She just wanted to promote her movie and instead she got inundated with ignorant questions about her rehab. Appalling.

Then she shouldn't have gone on the show. It's not like his tough questions and mockery were a secret.

@@billybatson7852 actually it was. You heard she saying that they didn't talk about some of his questions at the pre-interview. She was clearly uncomfortable.

@@thaisterra2797 Bullshit. He had been on air for several years and her agent and publicist or whoever booked it would have known his history of asking tough questions. How would that be a secret when all she or her "people" had to do was watch old episodes? lol That being said, it's very clear that he assumed she'd be able to handle the tough questions, but the moment he noticed how weak she was, he tried to cover it with jokes and adoration from the audience. He wasn't trying to be malicious. He just put way too much stock in how strong he thought she was.

@@billybatson7852 she said that those things weren’t discussed in the preinterview

good it's his show he can talk about the weather if he wants to, the nerve on these celebrities thinking they can tell the host what to talk about on his show pff

Yesss...it's actually part of recovery! The thing is to not let it bring you back down, one day at a time!

Letterman has NOTHING to do with Lohan's troubles. If she was that fragile, then she shouldn't be going on interviews for attention. She knew that Letterman wasn't like the other talk show hosts that kiss everyone's ass. She HAD to know he would likely bring it up. I think he just misjudged her reaction. I'm not sure if he had issues before this, but then why didn't she give him shit right back? Besides, you can tell that Dave realized that it was upsetting her and then tried to do a course correction. So he clearly wasn't being malicious.

@@billybatson7852 That’s a pretty naive statement to make my guy. People go on talk shows all the time who have personal issues in life & aren’t treated the way Lindsay was treated. By that logic, you better be holding yourself to the same standard that everything bad that happens to you is your fault. But you don’t do that, you know why? Because deep down you know it’s not true. Treat others the same. Stop sticking your head in the sand & being ignorant & then whinge when people take the time out of their own days to shine light on a different perspective which is far more logical than your own. You should be thanking them. Besides, majority of talk shows, they do a pre-interview & usually the publicist & manager will be involved giving a list of questions the celebrity doesn’t feel comfortable asking. So that’s actually a physical action that was taken that’s factually wrong too. Just say you’re a misogynist and move on.

@@cutecookie1111 I actually do hold myself to that standard most of the time, my broad... my chick-a-dee. But more importantly, if I'm not doing well in life and having problems, I'm certainly not going to go on a talk show where the host is known for giving guests shit. My two exes... let's see... one got into meth and abandoned me and my son and I still blame myself for not seeing it sooner. My more recent ex ended up being a Little who liked Daddies and I blame myself for not seeing that earlier, too. Now I'm staying away from such things and am very happy. So no... I don't blame them at all. It was my fault for not seeing them that way before I got heavily involved. As for being a misogynist... I WISH!!!!!!!!!!! To date, I've sacrificed probably 40k to women for various reasons... and have used much of that money to help women friends to get out of dangerous or harmful situations with no benefit to me. Last year, I helped a female friend get out of a hurtful relationship with a drug addict to the tune of $600 only to have her go back to him six months later and never pay me back. In fact, she cut me off because he's now in control of her life. But if she was to come back tomorrow because he had abandoned her and she needed my help? Yup... I'd do it. Also, I just gave another $40 to a female friend who is 1000+ miles away from me so she could have money for food despite the fact that I've given her about $400 in the past and never asked for any of it back. She only asked for $10, but I gave her $40 because $10 seemed low. But yeah... I'm a misogynist. Tell me again.

@@billybatson7852 Letterman didn't have anything to do with Lohans troubles as far as I know, but just because she has issues doesn't mean she is fragile. She isn't on the show for attention for herself. She was there for the movie she is in. Major job actors do, apart from acting in the film, is to advertise the movie and usually actors use their own fame to do so. She was doing her job. She being on the show doesn't mean he can parade around with her crap and have a laugh about it. And as to why didn't she give him shit back? She has been through the trouble, maybe more so than Letterman maybe it doesn't even cross her mind to pull that crap? She said that stuff leterman said wasn't brought up on preinterview. That would mean that it doesn't get brought up. She was probably caught off guard. but yea, he noticed the error of his way. Late, but better late than never I guess. He was pretty old at that point already.

Feeling weird about her. Somehow I empathize and I validate her pain. But her trying to kidnapp those kids 2 years ago and telling them to watch some movies with her... Idk She's kinda of dark tbh. 👀👀 I just don't full support her now after that. I know she needs help, but come on 👀👁️👄👁️

she got addicted because she chose to take drugs. If you don't want to talk about it, don't go to Letterman.

@@evertvdb000 you have a very simplistic view of addiction of how addiction alters someone both mentally and physically and you seemingly also don't understand that actors are contractually obligated to appear on talk shows as part of the promotion of their movie projects. Talking about personal struggles on talks shows is not a requirement and if the actor is ok to talk about their personal demons there is a right way and a wrong way for an interviewer to approach it.

@@thyop89 If you don't want to be contractually obligated to appear in talkshows, don't sign the contract. You make it seems that she's a 'victim'. she's not. nobody forced her to take drugs. she made that decision all by herself. Nobody forces her to go to the talkshow. she is there for 1 and only 1 reason: personal gain. Letterman sees through that, and he can ask any question he likes. it's his show.

@@evertvdb000 sounds like you have a an axe to grind against someone. Sorry you are unable to find sympathy for someone who is having a hard time, i agree that addicts can be very damaging to people around them. I obviously can't change your mind but trying to understand their mindset will help you understand why people end up in that position and why they find it so hard to recover without a lot of help. It's not as simple as just being weak or lazy or selfish.

@@thyop89 You are wrong, i have no 'axe to grind' against noone. I have a lot of sympathy for people in difficult positions, I have no sympathy for people who got very lucky, but threw it away. Lindsay has no talent, just got lucky, because she had more or less a cute face. after a few movies, it was over. she tried to revive her career, via Letterman. Bad choice. Not lettermans fault. he was to make an interesting show, if not, ratings drop and he has to fire people.

Whatever he was trying to accomplish here had zero positives behind it. Just odd

U say letterman is an awful man?? He's not the one doing drugs and drinking and getting DUI's etc.. hello.. drinking while driving.. Lindsey could've killed someone driving intoxicated...

@@tonyho5611 LiLo is still human, jabroni. Don't blame her, blame her shitty parents and of course, the moronic media.

Honestly, she should have walked away. She should not have sat there and tolerated that abuse. I know it’s very difficult for people in those moments. But looking back, I wonder if she wishes she hadn’t walked out.

​​@@tonyho5611He says elsewhere that he used to be a huge alcoholic, from a very young age. So I think there is actually concern for her in this interview. He probably sees her self destructing and knows exactly what that's like.

Agreed. Both the media and society picked these young females in Tinseltown and treated them badly as if they were some corrupt government officials and politicians (like Eliot Spitzer and Anthony Weiner). SMH. Thanks to the Britney Spears documentaries (Framing Britney Spears and Controlling Britney Spears) in 2021, people have now realized that the media really wanted the female stars to fail. Former Nickelodeon star Jennette McCurdy (of iCarly and Sam & Cat) said it best: The media only wants to see a former child celeb fall off the rails and I agree with her. Therefore, the media and society both need to change they treat celebs and stop laughing at their mishaps and miscues for ratings, greed and money. They are still humans despite of what they went through. The media and society should also realize that they have kids too. I mean, you listening, Harvey Levin, Adam Buckley, Jian Ghomeshi, Kelly Ripa, Catt Sadler, Katie Couric, Bryant Gumbel, Mario Lopez, Ted Turner, Vince McMahon, Ana Kasparian, Cenk Uygur, Jerry Penacoli, former President Donald Trump, etc.?

Society = mob think = never really good cus society = brainwash

They still treat them poorly…

​​@@mollyblanchard6080They now have reckonings tho. BTW get lost nuisance KZfaqr. Thanks, girl.

With #cancelculture and with everyone literally being the media due to social media I actually think it’s even worse now, people are such sheep and have an inability to let things go

I was watching a video of him and Jennifer Connelly, it made me so upset. She was taking about how her education was important, encouraging young people to go to college but if not, to have a love of learning. Letterman interrupted her to talk about how hot her legs were. She looked so uncomfortable but she joked back, trying to be cool about it. Heaven forbid she talk about anything other than her looks.

RyanInLA I remember watching him when I was much younger and HATING HIM. I couldn’t put my finger on it but I thought something was off about him and thought he seemed super fake. I thought to myself, “If I ever became famous I would NEVER go on his show.” I was really happy and pleased when Jimmy Fallon became the host of “The Tonight Show.” People give him crap because they think he’s fake but I don’t think he’s bullshitting his audience at all I think he’s just NICE. Fallon is lovable and funny and he’s a super talented singer! I think he deserves to be a talk show host. I appreciate him and James Corden a lot they are a breath of fresh air. They are actually talented and funny on their own, unlike Letterman. Letterman isn’t talented or funny the only reason he lasted as long as he did was because he’s mean spirited and was good at poking fun at his guests

Letterman felt entitled to use his position and power to reduce celebs "down to size" to prove they were no better than anyone else. He did this subtlety and overtly by cutting them off, dismissing, shaming, and harassing them right to their face. Maybe he felt some of his audience got off on his ego trip. In reality most people with a modicum of self-awareness could see his sociopathic tendancies to destroy others while justifying it with his own bs.

Which is why he was always behind Leno...Leno never took personal shots are people like Dave does ....

@@sunnystreet4950 I hate to break it to you but you've always been a peice of shit for having the mindset that it's funny.

I mean. You definitely don’t need someone’s consent to make jokes about them lol. But I think I get what you’re trying to say. She can joke about herself, but when Letterman does it it’s different. It’s like he’s laughing at her not with her

He wasn't making a joke , he was asking private personal questions in front of an audience when none of that had been discussed to be talked about in the pre interview.

Consent to speak about someone now lol. Ffs. You should need consent to write such bullshit. You should need a bullshit permit or something that people need to consent to.

@wittywitty6352 I would have understood if she was a criminal that was on a show where they detect lies and ask for the truth. Like one of those real life cops-situations. This lady was here to get better though and she openly talked about her addiction and rehab before. She was going to rehab, she said that, it was not like she kept that a secret. But _why_ she drinks or abuses too much, is private and when she declines that question, it is rude to keep pushing it. And if you do that with 6-7 questions, it's just rudeness alltogether. Again, we're not talking about a hardened criminal here that is trying to keep the place of the dismembered body a secret. We're talking about a girl with rehab-plans.
