Al Roker Anti-Speidi
by Andrea
The Today show cohost interviewed former I’m a Celebrity contestants Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt about their stay in the jungle.
Al Roker persistantly asked Heidi if she was proud of their behavior on the show. Failing to answer the question at hand, he sternly asked it again before telling Spencer people think he acts like a “jerk”.
Roker tweeted immediately after the interview:
Heidi and Spencer are an interesting couple. famous for…being infamous. Bad and vacuous behavior. I think we’re at minute 11 of their 15.
Post-interview, Spencer had the following to say on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM radio show.
Was the weatherman asking us questions? I thought we were getting interviewed by a guy named Matt Lauer. We were thrown off that the weatherman was even trying to talk to Speidi.
Heidi chimed in:
I was shocked at how rude he was. I was crying afterwards because I felt personally attacked because he was yelling and saying, ’Do you feel proud of this?
She continued:
We were going there for a great interview. I just wanted to talk about the show and my experience there and how fun it was. He just made it uncomfortable and an awful experience. To be honest, I wouldn’t be interviewed by him again. And I’d advise women to be careful around him because I feel like he definitely attacked me and I didn’t deserve that at all.
Ok, ok…couple of things here. First of all – doesn’t Spencer know he’s a jerk? That’s what his fame is built around! And WHY does he feel the need to refer to himself in the third person, “Speidi”?
Even though Roker may have been a bit harsh, do you think it was well-deserving?
