American television host and comedian David Letterman recently got slammed on social media over a resurfaced interview with Lindsay Lohan in which he seemingly mocked her for going to rehab. According to Fox News, the interview in question was from a 2013 episode of The Late Show in which Lindsay was on hand to talk about her new movie and TV project, ahead of a very public stint in rehab. Recently, a Twitter user uploaded a video showing excerpts from the interview in which Letterman seems to go off-book and makes light of Lindsay's addiction, despite her clearly becoming uncomfortable.

Undeterred, the clip shows Letterman continuing to press the actor to talk about rehab and her wild lifestyle. Lindsay continued to try and playfully shut the line of questioning down by telling him they'd discussed this in the past.
The resurfaced clip prompted some extreme reactions from people on social media as his name began to trend on Twitter. Replies to the 2013 interview chastised Letterman for "the misogyny" and for perpetuating the "stigma of addiction and rehab." While some users continued to call Letterman "rude" and "unprofessional" for his personal questions, others praised Lindsay for her poise and maturity.

One Twitter user wrote, "I think she was super strong and stood her ground in such an elegant way. Its one thing for people you know to criticize the moments that test your strength, and to have to do that in front of an audience and millions at home? So much respect for her." Another person wrote, "I wanna say David Letterman is allowed to make mistakes, but he's been on TV since forever. I wanna say this could be a norm in 2013, but it's painful to watch. Let's all just learn from it."

The Questions and the Tone was Probably the Problem
Kudos to @lindsaylohan for the way she handled him.

On Point
So David Letterman ridiculed Lindsay Lohan to the point of tears even after she asked him to stop several times. Hard to watch, honestly.

Cruel David Letterman
David Letterman was admittedly pretty cruel in that clip going around where he interviews Lindsay Lohan, but you'll be relieved to know that he has seen the error in his ways and now hosts a Netflix show where he uncritically worships celebrities.

Fun Made on Lindsay Lohan's Abuse Issues
If you agree that David Letterman should be cancelled for making fun of Lindsay Lohan's substance abuse issues, it's hard to ignore the culpability of outlets like TMZ, Perez Hilton, US Weekly, Gawker, and so on. What they do isn't substantively different.

As per Deadline, the outpouring of support for Lindsay during the interview came at the heels of a Craig Ferguson monologue that also recently went viral. In the interview, the former 'Late Late Show' host defended Britney Spears against harsh jokes and jabs about her personal life and struggles.
