15 Celebrity Interview Moments That Were Absolutely Not Okay

"Unprofessional" is an understatement.

We recently asked the members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us which celebrity interview moment was inappropriate or uncalled for. Here's what they said:

1. When David Letterman sucked on Jennifer Aniston's hair.

2. When Oprah was insensitive to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen about their weights.

ABC

"When she interviewed the Olsen twins, she was so disrespectful the whole time. That interview is probably why they’re so notoriously private now."

7. When Wendy Williams asked 18-year-old Marcus Scribner if he was a virgin.

CBS Television Distribution

"He was super uncomfortable and to make it worse, his dad was on the side with the camera witnessing everything. She said the reason why she asked was because his character on Black-ish was sexually active. Luckily, he just nervously laughed it off and said that the audience can use their imagination on that subject."

9. When Katie Couric asked Carmen Carrera if she'd gotten bottom surgery.

ABC

"Carmen wasn't comfortable with the question. Laverne Cox was also on the show and she was quick to shut Katie down with an eloquent explanation as to why her line of questioning was offensive."
