Overview

• A resurfaced December 2003 clip shows Anderson, then 33, telling 17-year-old Lohan that some men “like ’em young” during his guest-hosting stint on The Sharon Osbourne Show.
• Social media users widely criticized the footage this July, labeling the exchange “creepy,” “gross” and “difficult to watch.”
• On July 25, Anderson’s representative issued a statement saying the interview was meant as comedy, expressing regret for its poor taste and affirming respect for Lohan.
• Lohan, now 39 and in the midst of her Freakier Friday press tour, has not publicly addressed the resurfaced footage.
• The controversy has reignited debate over ethical standards for archival media and appropriate host conduct with underage guests.
