Blog-Friendly Rewrite (Original Meaning Preserved):
Anthony Anderson has responded to a now-viral clip from 2003, in which he made controversial remarks to a then-teenage Lindsay Lohan during a guest-hosting spot on The Sharon Osbourne Show.
More than 20 years ago, Anderson filled in for Sharon Osbourne and interviewed 17-year-old Lindsay Lohan. A clip from that interview has recently resurfaced online, reigniting public debate.
In a statement to Entertainment Weekly, a spokesperson for Anderson said, “This interview was clearly intended as comedy. He regrets if the humor was in poor taste and maintains the utmost respect for Lindsay.”
During the segment, Anderson asked Lohan about her living situation, to which she revealed she had just moved in with fellow Disney Channel star Raven-Symoné.
Anderson responded, “Both of you are beautiful women. Both of you are young and have your own individual styles,” before inquiring about how they would compromise on decorating their shared space.
He then asked, “What gentlemen will be at the new pad with you and Raven-Symoné?”
Lohan replied, “No one. I don’t have a boyfriend.”
Anderson quipped, “She’s single, but looking!”
Lohan quickly clarified, “I’m illegal, for people that are old.”
To that, Anderson replied, “Some men like them young. We ain’t gonna mention no names, but I’m one of them,” which drew laughter from the studio audience.
Later in the interview, Anderson made a pun referencing Lohan’s movie Freaky Friday, which had just been released on DVD the same day.
“Right now, we’re about to get our freak on,” he said, scooting closer to Lohan on the couch. At that moment, the show cut to a commercial break, and Lohan was seen covering her mouth with her hands in the resurfaced clip.
The interview has come back into public attention as Lindsay Lohan prepares for the premiere of the sequel, Freakier Friday, which is set to hit theaters on August 8. sequel.
