16 of the most controversial celebrity interviews of all time INSIDER 3/4/2021 Celebrities often give interviews to promote projects and provide a look into their lives. Some of the interviews, however, have gone terribly wrong. Insider rounded up 16 of the most problematic celebrity interviews of all time. At best, the conversations humanize celebrities and inspire audiences. At worst, they spark public outrage. People were shocked after Vin Diesel interrupted a reporter to tell her she was "f---ing sexy" in 2016. They also called out Katie Couric for asking a transgender model about her "private parts" on national television in 2014. Some older interviews that have since been deemed unacceptable didn't gain negative attention when they first aired, though.
