Hasn’t she interviewed dictators and fascists? People who have legit killed people. But Denzel is the guy that spooks her? Hah.  She should try Samuel L. Jackson next!

Oh, I can believe she could be shaken by Bradley Cooper. But for more than 5 minutes?! Enough to talk about it 10+ years later?! For this to stand out after a career in the media?!

I could easily see what he meant by the very few comments from him included here. How tf can she be a top-notch journalist and not understand his meaning?!?

Yeah, hard to believe that would be the heaviest she has ever been unloaded on in a professional environment.  Asks and insulting question and gets a perturbed reply?  Surprised she didn’t pass out.

This was a full year before the whole Kanye thing with Katrina.

“Noooooo! We love Ellen Pompeo she’s on that one show in its 15th season that everyone stopped watching in it’s 5th season. And she’s blonde!” - Jezebel commenters

There is nothing more gruesome than white women smelling blood in the water. 

I don’t know any background on this outside of the quote, but I read it as her stumbling around a topic and Denzel cutting thru the BS. She should feel shaken b/c she flubbed up in either starting a dialog or raising controversy. 

This didn’t go well for her when it happened the first time, why the hell would she want to bring this mess up so she can get dragged a second?

Actually, Katie Couric is absolutely making it into a mountain - that’s her marketing strategy. As many pointed out, she already ate a bunch of shit for this idiotic statement back when she said it the first time several years ago so she already knows what a good portion of the population thinks about her “...he…

And she’s still sticking up for Matt Lauer.

So for Katie: Sarah Palin, talking straight nonsense didnt shake you up and make you feel some kinda way because that heffa could be a heartbeat away from the presidency. Plus, Mr. Office Door Buzzer, Matt Lauer.

I thought she was too busy still defending Matt Lauer’s rapist ass anyway. Go away Katie.

Never forget that when Karen’s feel threatened or that you haven’t sufficiently kissed their asses enough they will come for you. There is nothing in this country more dangerous than a white woman with a grudge. This is why I was never here for “Me Too” because as always white women took that movement from the black…

It was a really fucking stupid question Kate, and you were clearly trying to buy yourself deniability while asking it. I would have told you to speak clearly or not at all too, and I don’t know how people talk AROUND things so much.

Yeah, it’s Denzel’s fault that you’re such a terrible interviewer, Katie.

Now Im the first person who would say, people should not look towards celebrity for opinion, politics or advice. But this is really bad, like:

How DARE Denzel not be willing to engage with her media pablum!

If Bradley Cooper responded the same way she wouldn’t have been “shaken” that’s just how it is when you’re black. They respond differently to us. It’s the same reason white cops perceive us as a threat but white people doing the same thing are not. And let me be clear, do I think Katie Couric is a racist? No, I do…

She’s told this story before and got the deserved reaction then. Why is she doing it again? Is it silly solidarity with what’s her name?
