TV host breaks silence after clip resurfaces of him telling Lindsay Lohan he ‘likes them young’
She was just 17 at the time
TV host and comedian Anthony Anderson has broken his silence following a resurfaced clip of him telling a then 17 year old Lindsay Lohan that he “likes them young.”
The clip resurfaced following the death of Ozzy Osbourne as Anthony Anderson temporarily filled in for Sharon Osbourne on her show whilst she was away.
Anthony sat down with a 17 year old Lindsay Lohan, who was becoming one of Hollywood’s rising stars after starring in Freaky Friday.
In the resurfaced clip, Anthony asked Lindsay what it was like to live with fellow Disney star Raven-Symoné, before saying that the two were “both beautiful women.”
He then asked the actress: “What gentleman will be at the new pad?” with Lindsay replying: “No one. No, I don’t have a boyfriend.”
The host turned to the audience, saying: “Hmmm. She’s single! But looking.” Lindsay explained: “I’m illegal for people that are old”, looking toward those in the crowd.
Anthony Anderson continued, saying: “Well, you know some men like them young. We ain’t gonna mention no names but, you know, I’m one of them.”
Anthony’s team released a statement to Entertainment Weekly after the video resurfaced, stating: “This interview was clearly intended as comedy.
“He regrets if the humour was in poor taste and maintains the utmost respect for Lindsay. Any implication to the contrary is both inaccurate and potentially defamatory.”
