The interviewer was rude, disrespectful, insensitive, and abrupt with this grieving, yet a very intelligent and articulate mother. I'm amazed at her courage.

"Well I didn't have a daughter brutally murdered up there so I can read the books." What the heck was he thinking? Is he insane saying that to Sharon Tate's mother? What a heartless bastard!!!

I can't believe the interviewer chuckled after asking her if she knew the house better than Tex Watson did. WTF

This man is being VERY unprofessional during this interview and I almost wish that Doris would've just walked off the set.

Doris has such class, especially dealing with Nelson a big ASS.

She was a grieving mother. I can't think of anything sadder than that. All around this man could use a nice, steaming bowl of class.

I have so much respect and admiration for Mrs. Tate. She belongs to a club no parent ever wants to join yet she makes sure to be the advocate the victims need. May she RIP.

This interviewer is a total jerk. “That’s not in any of the books, my dear”. Uh, bro, you’re talking to Sharon’s mother.

"knew the house as well as Tex Watson . . . he he he" What THE FUCK is wrong with this interviewer? How the hell did Doris get hooked up with this clown. RIP Doris - the legend.

I would have walked out of that interview, He is extremely rude and disrespectful.........wow

Doris is a good speaker hats off to her.

This guy is a jerk, Doris was a very strong woman who took no bull. She truly was an amazing woman, the interviewer "well i didn't have a daughter who was brutally murdered" I'm so surprised she didn't lose it. Now that's class to sit there and have to deal with him. May her Sharon and patti rest in peace.

I have the utmost respect for this Lady. I pray that she is now at peace. She was a great lady.

I have a deep respect for Doris Tate and the hell she went through. RIP beautiful lady.

What a good mother she was, spending the rest of her life making sure those freaks stayed in prison 😥

This guy had no respect

She was such a brave woman. She did everything she could to maintain those bastards in prison even facing them. She is a person to look up for

Doris Tate is probably the strongest person I ever saw, how can she listen to this and not break down and cry....so sad😥

What in the world does it matter if there was marijuana residue in the house?! LORT.

That interviewer was a complete jerk. He had a smirk on his face and was derisive and condescending. You'd think he would be a lot more sympathetic towards an elderly woman who lost her daughter. How Doris had the strength to endure this creep and his inappropriate comments is beyond me.

RIP Doris Tate , you fought hard for your daughter and keeping those monsters in jail. F this interviewer

She was such a strong woman I couldn't image the horror she went through losing her daughter and unborn grandson RIP doris you where truly an amazing woman

Wow. This interviewer was so condescending and disrespectful to Doris! "That wasn't in the books my dear"....."Well Roman said..." Unbelievable! Had I been her, I would have pulled my mic off and told him to shove his interview. Whatever Doris shared was likely more factual than anything some writer or Polanski had to say. She deserved so much more respect than that from him.

This video is quite old but wanted to post something about the man interviewing Sharons mother. What is up with the creepy grin while talking with Doris. Incredibly unprofessional, disrespectful and so wrong.

HE WAS GETTING OFF ON SEEING HER PAIN & FEELING HER PAIN. WHAT A SICK BASTARD!!!

Oh,what a respectful person she was.What a lady!!!

RIP Mrs. Tate. You were a good women.

"That's not in any of the books, my dear".- How patronizing and uncompassionate is this man???!

This guy has no finesse...I think he's a little sadistic with the questions he's asking

Poor Mrs. Tate, having to deal w/this callous, insensitive SoB of an interviewer asking these intrusive questions with a smirk. Also, he kept interrupting her

She was beyond patient with that jerk. If I were her, I would have told him where to stuff it and then walked off.

The interviewer is extremely weird and controlling. Acting as if he knows more than Doris does.

The interviewer should be ashamed, how dare he spoke like that to a murder victims mother? He's speaking as if he was there.

What a terrible interview. Doris should have terminated and walked out.

Doris Tate should be commended for what she has done for victims rights of violent crimes.. President George H. W. Bush.. recoginized her in 1992.. and rightly so... Doris was right about everything in dealing with these monsters.. God Bless her soul.. I know she is with her daughter Sharon now..

OMG! Why would he have said that to Mrs. Tate. That Tex Watson knew the house better than her! This man passed away already, but geeez. He was awful!

You are kiddin me???? This guy is a jerk. He was interviewing a woman who had a very brutally murdered daughter and he said those things? How come??? Talk about disrespect

Bill Nelson use to sell Videos of all the Killers Parole hearings like Tex Watson , Manson, Atkins, Krenwinkel and Leslie Van Houten on his website. And also this video of his interview with Doris Tate in it' s entirety. I heard He had the death photos of Sharon and the others for sale too I can't remember how much money he was charging for them it seems like a thousand dollars. Bill Nelson died the same year Sharon's dad Paul Tate died 2005.

Truly one of the most insensitive interviewers of all time.

Not impressed with Bill Nelson, not a good interviewer. He's actually antagonistic!

I can’t believe how insensitive and rude the interviewer is..

I think all interviewers should get the whole story of such a crime and work on being much more compassionate with the questions. I don't like anyone who sits around with a smirk on their face like he did. This poor woman lost one of her daughter's at the hands of cold blooded murderers. How would he like that?

He didnt even show Doris any dignity......what a vile sadistic man....he relished throwing those questions at her...knowing they must have hit her like daggers....

What matters if Sharon's friends were using drugs or not? Or if she used drugs or not?that is so irrelevant! In Susan Atkins website her husband also put a note that Sharon Tate tried drugs, first I don't understand the relevance, even if she would be a drug addictive, it means she would deserve to die? Even if her friends did orgies means than it is ok to be murdered? Oh my God what insane questions and views. And now SA husband putting remarks about Sharon Tate in his website only shows that

That's not in any of the books my dear. This guy is so disrespectful. He's treating her like a suspect.

This guy is a jerk in this interview and no sympathy to this lady. Mrs. Doris was a strong woman of faith and endurance. God bless her soul in heaven.

Why does Debra Tate say that it was she who notified her father about Sharon's death? I am confused about that part.

Doris, you are my hero. The evil Manson savage killers are sorry exuses for human beings, and they caused so much strain and turmoil to Doris. When they rot in HELL, then the nightmare will finally be over.

Disrespectful "Disrespectful", "in the same vein". After what happened to Sharon and her friends, I applaud Doris for acting on the behalf of all the victims and the victims families in seeing that none of the murderers will ever taste freedom again. '

I hate this interviewer already. “That’s not in any of the books, my dear.” Don’t you think Doris would know and remember her own conversations with her own daughter?

Whoever arranged this interview could have at least hired a competent interviewer. It's bad enough that he's rude and severely lacking in compassion, but to smile and even laugh while discussing the death of Doris's daughter and her friends is a whole new level of douchery. I hope this man was fired.

Usually I like it when interviewers challenge politicians and others they interview, but in this case the questions and remarks the interviewer made were incredibly rude and insensitive to make towards a grieving parent. I'm glad Doris Tate was able to handle this well, she was such an amazing woman!

This interviewer is especially rude. He could've been better with miss Tate.

"Do they think about it?" (the murders) WTF kind of question is that?

God bless this family. So sad

Him asking her if debra was 'bothered by it at all'...this guy 🥴

What makes you like this interview? Was it when that interviewer/jerk told Doris that Roman was quoted as saying "Sharon was either too dumb or too naive" to know what Folger & Frykowski were doing in their home? Is that the way you speak to a mother who's INNOCENT, PREGNANT daughter was brutally slaughtered? He should be so beyond ashamed of himself.

God bless this woman. What courage

That's a hell of a thing to ask the mother of a murdered child about. All about reaction, no respect.

Omg he chuckles and Doris was so classy in her response. Sad. I mean he then insinuates drugs. I can’t believe how insensitive he was. He then goes on to say Sharon knew about all those drugs that Roman said Sharon was too “dumb” to know what they were doing? This was so bad.

I would really like to know what all was going on at that house, while Roman and Sharon were in Europe. Sharon was apparently not happy with what all was happening there upon her return. She was so bothered that even mentioned it to her mother. And seems she was still quiet close with Jay (although I think he and Voytek were involved in some sketchy activities). So that just leaves Voytek and Abigail. And I am not trying to bash any of the victims. They in no way deserved the horrible abrupt ends to their lives. But after hearing Doris say that Sharon was not happy with the new environment at Cielo, there were definitely some bad vibes going on. I have just always felt there was more to this than the Helter Skelter motive. And maybe even more than the Terry Melcher connection. Just not sure what. And Tex (although his word is mud) has even said there is much more to it all. But of course he doesn’t elaborate. And I do think the girls were in the dark about any other motives. And they did believe it was for Helter Skelter or to help free Bobby. But they went along with it all. So all these murderers are right where they should be and stay, Charlie took anything else to his grave. So if there is more, doubt we’ll ever know.

At one point, I believed in parole for the killers, only thinking it was right if they had truly changed. But I realize now thats not the point. Hearing Doris really makes you think. Although I do not believe in the death penalty, I see her view now. If they get out, justice will not be served. The victims will never get a second chance at life, so why should they? They should just be happy they still have life. Just see it from Doris' shoes. Imagine if it was someone in your family. Just see.

He is so eeeew. Poor woman to have to have him as an interviewer.

Mrs. Tate showed a strength in the time of her great tragedy that I've rarely seen. I wish her nothing but peace in the afterlife that she unfortunately had taken away from her in such a hideous way while she was living.

“Debra could have also been a victim, did that ever bother her?” What is up with this guy?

I can’t believe Doris wasn’t smart enough to catch his sick little schemes

The daughters are like their mother , Sharon being the prettiest , but you can see the family resemblance x

That Bill Nelson was something else. It's like he was getting off on telling her the details over & over again. Colonel Tate should've kicked Nelson's ass for that! It was so unnecessary, even if she had thought about it over & over again.

Looking at this in 2022, RIP Sharon ♥️

He seems to be smirking, not good.

This interviewer's questions seem a bit insensitive and calculated to provoke. "Better than Tex Watson?" You can tell she's a bit taken aback by that.

Such a strong mother bless her heart❤

Nice to hear about the victims in life. They were overshadowed by these killers trying to be more relevant. What a hero she is for being selfless by helping many people inmates by telling her story. Great mom. Bugliosi should have given every dollar To the victims families from his book By the way didn't even talk to the families yet told their story? That's unbelievable. Cold and very hurtful to families.

Thats sad and a nightmare to hear all that..

“That’s not in the books, my dear.” The. BALLS

Just finding this one, Doris was such a strong loving Mother ❤I couldn’t begin to imagine her pain , strong woman indeed. I don’t think I could survive this

Poor woman went through hell,she’s with Sharon now

Who says that did you know the house as well as Tex

She had a beautiful daughter, freakishly beautiful.

Why the fuck did he ask how her if her other daughters are affected by this? OBVIOUSLY. This guy just needs a good slap in the face

God.bless.doris.tate.we.need.more.people.like.her.she.was.great.lady.hope.all.the.killers.burn.in.hell

Bill needs to not take on Doris!

What difference does it make whether there where drugs in the house or not they where murdered for fucksake.

Well he his career must have ended after this pathetic heartless interview. I haven't seen him working with any news outlets.

The prosecutor had more insight on those people than she did. Months of interviews and research. Even tex and the girls have said that Charles orchestrated the shit.

Very well said karilua. Some of the comments made by these people just make me sick. They're idiots. May the killers rot in prison and burn in hell.

Doris was catatonic for the first 10 years!! That's so sick

I wished she'd stayed with her Mother until Roman got home. Life would have gone on for her!!!

"brutally murdered" that was extremely insensitive

I love her

What a tough lady. You can tell she doesn’t put up with shit.

Love Doris Tate. Even though I think Manson himself was not guilty of the crimes he was convicted of ( Doris Tate mentioned this in another interview - she said he wasn't the responsible one), she was an amazing woman. RIP

What relevance is it to bring up 'rumours' about what the victims were smoking or drinking or whether they were having sex from the rafters, any more than questioning what the majority of the ordinary population gets up to? The fact is Sharon Tate and her guests were terrorised and brutally murdered in her home by insane maniacs. That's the issue. The interviewer is vile in his casual disrespect. Going by his tone he could be grilling a politician not a bereaved mother of a murdered daughter.

How full of fearful minutes and pain of multiple stabbings Sharon and people with her witnessed but how reckless conversation..

I was thinking of her during "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" - she would have loved it.

AH creep for putting this poor woman through more pain. She should never have had to spend her whole life trying to keep those butchers in jail. No justice for the poor victims or their families. Just a sick system we have called parole. I've seen criminals get out and kill again.

I can't believe how uncaring and insensitive this guy is...they way he asks Mrs. Tate questions and states various fact about the murders. I feel like h'es just exploiting Mrs. Tate.

He could be a little more sensitive with his words..let her finish before you ask her another question.

Or I wonder if her sister was there if that would’ve made a difference in man power of stopping the murderers

Awwww bless the Tate family and the rest of the victim's families 🌹
