What on earth did we just witness? Following the release of the Framing Britney Spears documentary, a variety of old, unsettling late-night interviews have resurfaced, revealing how hosts, including former Late Show host David Letterman, treated female celebrities with blatant disrespect. Recently, a 2013 interview with Letterman and Lindsay Lohan went viral on TikTok and Twitter, as viewers criticized the host for prying into her personal life. Now, another interview featuring Jennifer Aniston is making waves, and it’s just as troubling.
The 1998 Interview with Jennifer Aniston
In the 1998 interview, Aniston was promoting her film The Object of My Affection when she began sharing a story about encountering fans in her gym’s steam room. Letterman, along with a group of lecherous audience members, seemed to revel in the idea of naked women. “So, these women come into the steam room, and they’re naked too?” he asked Aniston, who responded with nervous laughter. “How many are there?” he continued, as the audience laughed at his inappropriate comments.
The most shocking moment came later in the interview when Letterman wheeled his chair behind Aniston and stated, “Forgive me if this is rude, I just want to try one thing.” Aniston’s startled reaction was clear as she shouted, “What are you doing?!” Despite her protests, he succeeded in placing some of her hair in his mouth and sucking on it. Viewers were left in disbelief. Aniston played along, laughing it off, but visibly disgusted when he handed her a tissue to wipe his saliva from her hair.
Another Troubling Interview
Another Letterman interview has also resurfaced recently: his chat with Janet Jackson, during which he relentlessly questioned her about her infamous Super Bowl performance. In the 2004 Late Show segment, Letterman wasted no time in pointing out Jackson’s outfit, saying, “Now, that’s almost malfunctioning, isn’t it?” Despite Jackson’s attempts to steer the conversation away from the incident, Letterman persisted with questions that made the exchange extremely uncomfortable.
Twitter user @ryancortezz shared the old video, commenting, “This gives off the same vibe,” referring to the Lohan-Letterman interview. “I don’t know how he gets away with it.”
