We can understand a few honest slip ups every now and then when it comes to celebrity interviewers, but some questions are straight up uncalled for.

It’s no surprise that a lot of reporters don’t just want to know about the work a celebrity is doing, especially if that celebrity has been caught up in any type of scandal (or anything that the media can turn into a scandal). But while that’s to be expected, that doesn’t make it any less infuriating to deal with or even to witness. While we often see celebrities acting out or being difficult in interviews, there are just as many reporters who have the ability to be just as shady or act out just as much.

A common thing we’ve seen in these interviews is a reporter’s obsession with the personal life of a favorite celebrity, especially where relationships are concerned. And we get the curiosity. But at the end of the day, celebrities are also people. And some questions are just too invasive. There are other reporters who simply don’t do the research they need to do to prepare for an interview and it shows. Cara Delevingne can teach us a thing or two about shutting that down. But one thing all of these interviews have in common is the undeniable cringe factor and the straight audacity that some interviewers have.
