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.

Wasn't a big Lindsay Lohan fan til now. She stayed strong, human, funny and made Dave look like a shmuck. Didnt Letterman admit to his own sobriety problems yrs prior to this interview?? How richly ironic he relished exploiting others same struggle and pain he knew of so well. Likely Dave rationalizes he was just giving her some "tough love". Clearly that didn't work considering the longterm damage she still endures. Letterman revealed here he was the classic hippocrite and sociopath. Nice legacy he has!!

[@billybatson7852]

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.

[@billybatson7852]

@@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.

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.

Agreed.

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.?

Letterman felt entitled to use his position and power to reduce celebs "down to size" to prove they were no better than anyone else.

"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

@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.

[@DavidMichaelCommer]

This is really gross. Lindsay Lohan is a deeply troubled person who obviously was making efforts to improve her life, and Letterman humiliated her. Regardless of what he thought he was doing, she felt humiliated. She looked off camera, surely at her publicist or a producer, and stated as a professional that this topic had not been cleared for discussion and Letterman was relentless. She's a former child star, which comes with its own traumas and baggage, and whether she continually relapses or not, she was trying. A person's personal struggles are not obligated to be part of their work, and doing media interviews is a contractual obligation for actors-as she said, to promote a movie, not to be embarrassed by exploitative jerks for ratings and headlines. David Letterman condemned his own reputation for professionalism and decency in this short clip.

Lindsay handled herself very well tbh she always has in interviews, here you can literally see her heart beating, you can tell she’s passionate about acting and loves to talk about her movies, some other celebrities would get very snappy and storm off but Lohan always keeps her cool through different tacts (1) Looks uncomfortable, hopes that hint would come across (2) Truthfully just answers the questions (3) Asks to not talk about it anymore (4) Make jokes and laugh it off, Lohan unfairly got slammed by the media, but she actually does have talent and class, sure she has her problems but she should have to only talk about them and dismiss her work
