A resurfaced clip of Anthony Anderson interviewing Lindsay Lohan is receiving a ton of backlash for the sexually-charged comments and questions he made to her at such a young age. Warner Bros. TV / Getty Images, Kevin Winter / WireImage In December 2003, Anthony acted as a guest host on The Sharon Osbourne Show. During the episode, Lindsay stopped by to promote the release of Freaky Friday landing on DVD and VHS, for fans' viewing pleasure. (C)Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection For those of you who aren't old enough to know what those are, before streaming revolutionized the way we watched movies and television, the only way to watch feature films or series at home was to use a disc (DVD) or tape (VHS). While Anthony's intention might've been playful, the constant sexual innuendos and suggestive language were a little hard to watch, especially since he was 33 at the time, and Lindsay was only 17. And it began as soon as she walked onto the stage. SO Divine Productions / youtube.com When she came out, he initially greeted her with a polite kiss on the cheek, but as they sat down, he followed up the moment by saying, "You're sick and you just kissed me on the lips with tongue?" To which Lindsay immediately replies, "I didn't kiss you on the lips!" SO Divine Productions / youtube.com He later told her, "My children and I loved you in The Parent Trap." Lindsay, who was grateful for the compliment, thanked him for being a fan of her work. SO Divine Productions / youtube.com But the sweet moment turned awkward when he placed his hand on her knee and added, "You've grown up a whole lot since then." Lindsay was visibly shocked by the comment, but laughed it off with the audience. SO Divine Productions / youtube.com Later in the conversation, Lindsay revealed she and fellow child star Raven-Symoné just "got a place together." Anthony asked if they had issues with decorating, but Lindsay confirmed they hadn't because they had completely different styles, adding that Lindsay's room was completely pink, while Raven's room had darker colors. Gregg DeGuire / WireImage Probably already prepped on Lindsay's love for the color pink, Anthony gifted her pink pillow with his face on it that read, "To Lindsay, Love Anthony." SO Divine Productions / youtube.com "This is going to go right on my bed, and when I see you, I will say hi, cuz I'll see your face every night," Lindsay joked after they both exchanged stories of celebrities ignoring them after they tried to say hi to them. SO Divine Productions / youtube.com But, as you probably guess, things turned weird again when Anthony responded, "Now aside from entertaining me in your room and in your house, what gentleman will be at the new pad with you and Raven-Symoné?" SO Divine Productions / youtube.com "No one," Lindsay said. "I don't have a boyfriend." Anthony then announced to the audience, "Hmm...she's single and looking!" But Lindsay quickly reacted by pointing out, "But I'm illegal for people that are old." SO Divine Productions / youtube.com "Well, some men like 'em young, we ain't gonna mention no names, but, you know. I'm one of 'em." SO Divine Productions / youtube.com "You have a family man!" said Lindsay, who appeared to look at the audience for backup. She shook her head as she turned back around to look at Anthony, who was still cracking up at his own joke. SO Divine Productions / youtube.com After the odd exchange, and only a minute left of the interview, Anthony finally asked a work-related question. Lindsay shared she had two movies coming out and those would end up being big hits as well - none other than Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and Mean Girls. SO Divine Productions / youtube.com He ultimately promoted the Freaky Friday DVD, revealing that everyone in the audience would be receiving one. Despite her getting excited about mentions of the release, by the end, she seemed a little relieved to be done with the interview. SO Divine Productions / youtube.com And as much as I wish I could say it ended there, it didn't! As the camera zoomed out, Anthony yelled, "Right now, we're about to get our freak on," as he pulled Lindsay in for an awkward hug. SO Divine Productions / youtube.com The clip has since gone viral online. It most likely made its way to 2025 due to the upcoming release of the Freaky Friday sequel, Freakier Friday. Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures /Courtesy Everett Collection Outside of the obvious, backlash for the clip arose due to Anthony's checkered past, which includes several sexual assault allegations.
