[@SabrinaBaulding]

I just wished the questions had more depth to them. You're at this type of event with these caliber of people and all you can ask is about hot girl summers and talk about the drinks? This was one of the longest interviews I've seen and was super excited. What a waste! Who let this guy interview anyway.

[@walkingintruthknowledge7418]

He didn't give a damn. They sent this pale demon to a black event and all he can do is curses, talk about drinking and a fucking hot girl summer. I definitely want to kick his punk ass

[@logicalspirit5358]

Everything wrong with this interviewer: 1. "Tyler Perry will you be cleaning your own studio?" 2. Whoopi Goldberg will you be cleaning the studio named after you?. 3. Monica you are so well spoken! 4. (Asking Legands) about booze and alcohol. 5. (Asking LEGANDS) what they googled. This is why they say "Whites do less than great things in Black spaces." Epic fail.

Awesome Interviews, you did such a great job, Thanks so so much for doing all that you do.

[@veewalker4472]

I find it so ironic that he felt the need to ask Tyler and Whoopi about something being cleaned and if they would be making sure it was clean. How ignorant of him to think at their levels they have nothing else to worry about other than cleaning, it's a indirect way of always associating us with being a domestic inspire of our achievements.

Don't EVER send this dummy out to interview again. You don't come to a monumental and historical event like this, and interview A-listers who are educated, and sophisticated elders like Judge Toler like that? She was nice about it, but I know she was questioning his ignorance on the inside. Then he remarked to Monica, that she speaks well. *sighs* Glad that others in the comment section are equally disappointed and annoyed!

[@angelearl4582]

Ok soooo..... When I go back to check my replies I see a message that says remember to be respectful. This white man is so disrespectful to the legends. Why post a disrespectful person that shouldn't even be in the room with these legends? We will tell it like it is. There should have been black people from Dish nation to cover this event. They would have known to respect these legends. He made light of the real reason of this celebration. A black man owns an old Confederate base. He went to a hot girl summer with legends. Wtf?! Trash, distasteful, disrespectful, a slap in the face for you guys to put this up then don't expect BLACK people to get mad. That's hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂
