1
Female celebrities have long been subjected to sexist and inappropriate questions in interviews, and while most of them simply brushed it off,
2
some celebrities decided to fight back and confront the interviewers.
3
Like singer Mariah Carey, who sat down for an interview with radio host Howard Stern in 1998.
4
Throughout the interview, Howard made a series of inappropriate comments and questions that left Mariah visibly uncomfortable.
5
First of all, your breasts are incredible.
6
No, they're not.
7
They're really not.
8
They're normal.
9
I told you, I'm a very innocent girl.
10
You can't do that kind of stuff to me.
11
There's nothing innocent about you.
12
You were so naked.
13
Do you really think, you really don't, you really don't get that sense from me?
14
Do you ever wear underwear?
15
Ever?
16
Yes, I do.
17
Are you wearing underwear tonight?
18
Yes, I am.
19
Do you think I'm going to go with this without the pants?
20
Who do you think I am?
21
And I love that you love to show off your body.
22
I just think that's so sexy.
23
Howard, don't say that.
24
Why do you do?
25
You're making a mockery of me.
26
And if that wasn't inappropriate enough, the host then said something so outrageous that Mariah could not believe what she was hearing.
27
You dress like, I mean this is, I hope you take this the right way.
28
You see, you take things the wrong way.
29
Oh, no, no, don't, don't, don't, don't.
30
You dress like a stripper.
31
You know what?
32
Bye.
33
How can you call me a stripper?
34
I was Mary Poppins for the first five years of my career.
35
Would you get off this?
36
I am like, compared to who?
37
Compared to what other singer?
38
Say where you start?
39
Compared to what other singer, I want to know.
40
In your videos, you look hot.
41
I want to know, but since when?
42
Since this album only.
43
And Mariah was far from the only one who had to deal with inappropriate questions on live radio.
44
Singer Hayley Williams of the band Paramore found herself in a very similar situation
45
when a radio host took things way too far during what should have been a straightforward interview.
46
And it wasn't just radio hosts who couldn't keep it professional.
47
In 2009, Sandra Bullock sat down to promote her movie
48
The Proposal, which featured a brief comedic nude scene.
49
And for whatever reason, the interviewer decided to make that the entire focus of the conversation.
50
Similarly, when Anne Hathaway sat down to promote
51
The Dark Knight Rises in 2012, her interviewer seemed far more interested in her body than in her performance.
52
You had to make sure you were in perfect shape for this one, didn't you?
53
It wasn't about being in perfect shape, it was about being able to do the stunts and the fighting perfectly.
54
Is there a certain regimen you put yourself through in terms of the diet, the workout?
55
It's just watch what you eat and get yourself to the gym.
56
Any particular workout?
57
Are you trying to lose weight?
58
Well, what's the deal, man, you look great.
59
No, no, no. No, no, seriously, we have to talk about this.
60
What do you want?
61
Scarlett Johansson faced her fair share of inappropriate questions during press tours too.
62
And in 2012, while promoting
63
The Avengers, a female interviewer made a very ignorant an assumption about her, but Scarlett corrected her immediately.
64
Really?
65
Have you seen Chris Hemsworth?
66
And when an interviewer decided to ask her about what she wore under her Black Widow costume,
67
she made it very clear what she thought of that question.
68
Now, were you able to wear undergarments, if you were?
69
You're like the fifth person that's asking that to me.
70
What is going on?
71
Since when did people start asking each other in interviews about their underwear?
72
No, because it is such a skin -tight...
73
I'll leave it up to your imagination.
74
Well, is it inappropriate?
75
But interviewers are not the only ones guilty of treating women this way.
76
At the 2014 SAG Awards, Cate Blanchett called out a camera operator for panning down her body.
77
You look fabulous.
78
Let's start with the dress.
79
Who are you wearing today?
80
Who am I wearing?
81
Givenchy.
82
I'm just wondering, do you do that to the guys?
83
It's a thing that's just, it just happens.
84
What do you think is going to happen down there that is so fascinating?
85
And what makes this issue so significant is how long it has been going on.
86
Back in 1975, a young Helen Mirren sat down for an interview with British talk show host Michael Parkinson,
87
and what he said to her during that interview was
88
so disrespectful that it's almost hard to believe it was said on national television.
89
mean well i think that they might sort of detract from a performance
90
if you know what i mean i can't think
91
that can necessarily be true i mean what a crummy performance
92
if people are obsessed with the size of your bosom
93
or anything else
94
and sometimes the problem comes down to interviewers not even bothering to do their homework like in 2014
95
when kristen wieg and bill hader sat down to promote their movie the skeleton twins
96
and their interviewer made such an embarrassing error
97
that it derailed the entire interview kristen i am thinking on this program of doing the news
98
completely full frontal completely nude do you recommend that do you have advice for going nude
99
you do it in the film not this movie, not this movie, not this movie oh you're not nude in this film,
100
you're nude in another one no, the movie you want to go see is called Skeleton Twin Kristen is fully clothed in it,
101
I'm fully clothed in it and it's a drama, it is a comedy And just like
102
Bill Hader, Tom Hardy also found himself having to shut down a question that never should have been asked.
103
At the 2015 press conference for Mad Max Fury Road, a reporter directed a sexist question at him about his female co -stars.
104
In the music industry, female artists have always been judged differently for expressing themselves compared to their male peers, and in 2009,
105
Lady Gaga confronted that head -on when an interviewer questioned whether the sexual references in her music could undermine her artistry.
106
I'm very scared, though, that having sexual references can undermine the music.
107
I'm not scared.
108
Are you scared?
109
No. You're not worried that they'll check out the sexual references and not care about the music?
110
No, not at all.
111
You see, if I was a guy and I was sitting here with a cigarette in my hand,
112
grabbing my crotch and talking about how I make music because I love fast cars and f*ing girls, you'd call me a rock star.
113
But when I do it in my music and in my videos, because I'm a female, because I make pop music,
114
you are judgmental and you say that it is distracting.
115
I'm just a rock star.
116
And even on mainstream talk shows, female celebrities are not safe from uncomfortable questions about their bodies.
117
Actress Margaret Qualley, who had her breakthrough in Quentin Tarantino's movie
118
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel's show in 2019 to promote the film
119
but the conversation had very little to do with her acting congratulations on being in a quentin tarantino movie
120
that's kind of fantastic huh yeah are you too young to really appreciate
121
that no you're not good not your feet are prominently featured in the movie
122
they're very prominent unfortunately um you play um i think
123
we can say you play a member of the manson family a hippie yes you have armpit hair is
124
that your real armpit hair
125
or is it like little wigs there in the inside no
126
i can really i guess grow a lot of them
127
and sometimes interviewers ask questions that are so painfully obvious
128
that they almost feel like an insult that's exactly what happened to megan fox during an interview in 2014.
129
the fact that there aren't really any superhero films with you know super heroines with female leads
130
and even the marvel films
131
while they have you know scarlett johansson there hasn't been a solo film yeah what do you what's your take on that?
132
Do you feel like it's time?
133
It's just a matter of time before we see more of those?
134
Do you think that I would answer anything but yes to that question?
135
Do you think I would be like, no, it's not time for women to be in movies.
136
Let's take it back 50 years.
137
At the 2015 Grammys, Taylor Swift stopped for a red carpet interview that started with a simple question about her dress.
138
But then the interviewer said something completely out of line.
139
Can we just
140
Get a pan down of this dress.
141
You said it's Elie Saab?
142
It's beautiful.
143
Yeah, it is.
144
And it's ombre.
145
It's like ombre teal.
146
It gets lighter.
147
I just wanted to show the legs because as I was telling you ahead of time,
148
you're going to walk home with more than maybe just a trophy tonight.
149
I think lots of men.
150
I'm not going to walk home with any men tonight.
151
I'm going to go hang out with my friends and then I go home to the cats.
152
And even legendary actresses are not exempt from this kind of treatment.
153
In 2017, Jane Fonda sat down alongside Robert Redford to promote.. their film, Our Souls at Night.
154
And instead of focusing on the movie, the interviewer decided to ask
155
Jane about her plastic surgeries.
156
rather than plastic surgery
157
and in 2015 ariana grande sat down for a radio interview
158
where two male hosts reduced her to a stereotype assuming
159
that young women only care about makeup and their phones
160
if you could use makeup or your phone one last time
161
which one would you pick makeup
162

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
