Fox411 Another actor who needs to be medicated 💊

Fox411 Someone's bored

Fox411 I love how these people are always scared of someone. Always playing the scared caucous woman..

Fox411 16 years ago? Slow news week?

Fox411 Ah, get over it

Fox411 It was 2004 ffs, who cares....

Fox411 “Are you one of those people....” Denzel:

Fox411 Y’all remember when Randy Marsh broke the record for the biggest 💩 and it was measured on the Katie Couric scale? Wow.

Fox411 I’m just here for everything black.

Fox411 16 years ago?

Fox411 This sounds like a Katie Couric problem

Fox411 Perhaps he mistook her for an actual journalist and expected better.

Fox411

Fox411 She 'has interviewed murderers, dictators, socialized with business people and Hollywood producers that have later been accused of sexual assault and worked with Matt Lauer for years & none of them made her feel uncomfortable? But Denzel Washington did?' katiecouric is a racist.

Fox411 “Shaken” and “uncomfortable” are the most used words in the Karen Dictionary.

Fox411 And people need to stop it with the clickbait tag lines as if Denzel has done this white Woman harm! He checked her during an interview. He tried to make her see where her line of questioning was missing the mark and making him feel uncomfortable.

Fox411 Maybe she should sit in the Black Man’s seat for a few and understand the weight and history of her words. Maybe then, will she understand that just because she’s who she is isn’t enough to soften or detoxify what she was saying.

Fox411 You’re unprofessional feelings got hurt katiecouric because OfficiaIDenzeI put you in your place.

Fox411

Fox411 She thought she was going to be sent to Pelican Bay, 23 hour lock down😂🤣😂🤣

Fox411 Fcuk Couric

Fox411 I'm sorry, but Denzel is above reproach...he has always been a stand up guy and a gentleman. I'm sure hanging out with Matt Lauer was very comfortable!

Fox411 No evil formed against King Denzel or his family shall prosper 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Fox411 good clickbait

Fox411 No. Katie is a racist woman who wanted Denzel to answer her question the way she wanted it. He was just Denzel. Girl bye.

Fox411 Denzel told her that she can't stereotype him or put him in box. He is a individual with his own mind and thoughts.

Fox411 Well, Katie, maybe he thought the same about your approach. Maybe you were incorrect. Maybe you assumed too much.

Fox411 Who are they🥴

Fox411 Katie Couric is too soft and a tad mentally ill. She’s impossible to watch. A Somali pirate tripping on acid , who only communicates by Morse code is a better watch

Fox411 News must be dry, dig up something better, like private citizens with assault rifle protesting, with no consequence, had it been a minority or coloured citizens, the swat will be sent in.

Fox411 Katie Couric can kiss my grits!

Fox411 You gon and fuck up again TMZ. 🧐

Fox411 And calling him one of those people wasn’t offensive at all.

Fox411 Don’t come for Denzel Washington unless he sends for you.

Fox411 Women are soft. FOH

Fox411 He’s genuine and that’s alien to her.

Fox411 2004 was 16 YEARS ago and both these people are irrelevant now. Explain to me why we should care even a little.

Fox411

Fox411

Fox411 If you're going to start taking down great black actors, for what seems like a story about nothing for attention, then, white Hollywood has to offer up a sacrificial lamb too. It's only fair. So, whose it gonna be? 😂🤣😅

Fox411 No, I'd say it's the other way around. She's a powerful white woman targeting the black Tom Cruise for what seems like, nothing. Would she treat Harrison Ford the same way, or George Clooney? Good question.

Fox411 They have Denzel in their sight now. This is the same lady that worked with Lauer, asking stupid questions and now claims to be the victim. It’s NOT our job to smile and make you feel comfortable...

Fox411 Who cares

Fox411 Nobody cares

Fox411 His was listening and reacting.

Fox411 KC is old, old, old, news. Wasn't much news when she was news

Fox411 KatieCouric just wants a hug. Girl stop. Don't be like Katie!

Fox411 Leave the negativity out of his life💜

Fox411 Stop it, Karen.

Fox411 I only know Couric from her interview with Sarah Palin “I can see Russia from my house” fame

Fox411 ✋ ✋ wait hold up, 2004. Ain't it like a woman to drudge up old shit.

Fox411

Fox411 He fuckin owned that Karen

Fox411

Fox411 Denzel is the man!

Fox411 DW is the Black Jesus of acting! Don’t start no 💩, won’t be no 💩.

Fox411 Keeping it 💯 96% of the time.

Fox411 But sitting next to Matt lauer everyday was fine🤔

Fox411 this headline is EXTREMELY biased and misleading and needs to be reworded... pronto!

Fox411 so denzel defining who HE is in an interview about him in 2004 is apparently worth mentioning 16 years later and being circulated with headlines to make him look bad all for clicks?

Fox411 Is she trying to be relevant?

Fox411 Based on what I read here, he had every right to react the way he did. She was trying to pigeon hole him & he rightfully pushed back. Her ego wouldn't let her accept that she set the interview off on the wrong foot.

Fox411 She is a sissy

Fox411 so denzel defining who HE is in an interview about him in 2004 is apparently worth mentioning 16 years later and being circulated with headlines to make him look bad all for clicks?

Fox411 That wasn’t correcting, he was uncooperative. Katie, your gut was right.

Fox411 He commented on her tiny teeth

Fox411 I dunno what she was “trying” to ask but generally speaking it sounded stupid

Fox411 Really katiecouric 16 years later? If these women can’t speak up then why do it now and I’m a woman. I think this whole thing has gotten way out of hand

Fox411 Fuck her

Fox411 Is Denzel running for President?

Fox411 Man, you guys are just trying to ruin everybody. First Mister Rogers, now Denzel. You gonna go after Tom Hanks next?

Fox411 She’s a racist

Fox411 Leave my nigga Denzel alone

Fox411 Don’t come for Denzel! !!! Nope 👎🏽

Fox411

Fox411 She grew up to be Katie Couric?

Fox411 Who cares

Fox411 Take this one out of your auto tweet we not falling for it. Next.....

Fox411 Again?

Fox411

Fox411 Maybe she shouldn't have been asking him any stupid questions

Fox411 So?

Fox411 Ohhh lord here we go ... ready to dig up some non descrip shit from 1 interview on my son Denzel.. nah we AIN’T having it fam

Fox411 Maybe he doesn’t want to be associated with the pedophilia going around Hollywood.

Fox411 Denzel too damn smart for the reporters to give him backlash or take him down

Fox411 Who cares

Fox411 Why keep posting this? Its nothing

Fox411 Good!

Fox411 We don’t give a shit this is a REACH. And y’all blogs are NASTY for running this headline. WE DONT CARE. We stand behind Denzel.

Fox411 Denzel doesn’t fuck around with that dumb shit. Legend.

Fox411 Read the transcript. See nothing wrong. God forbid he not kiss her ass and play along.

Fox411 “Angry black man terrifies frail white woman”

Fox411 This story still doesn’t pass the test no matter how many times you run it.

Fox411 Is it Denzels turn to go down?

Fox411 She’s a racist

Fox411 A bunch of lies.

Fox411 I learned what a karen is through this thread🤔👩

Fox411 So what

Fox411 Sorry but no. I don't think EVERY man is a perv or creep. Remember J Depp and Amber Herd? Some women are victims but we can't demonize EVERY male.

Fox411

Fox411 Oh get over it jeez

Fox411 So

Fox411 She gets the money and decides to bring it up now? What is wrong with people?

Fox411 Ummm, okay!! A little late for that news!

Fox411 Angry black man getting hostile with a white woman. No, that never happens.

Fox411 Can’t believe she dissed Denzel !!

Fox411 So she asks him an obnoxious question... he pushes back and is rightly so annoyed... and she’s shaken? Give me a friggin break.

Fox411 Katie needs to stops bringing up ‘old stuff’ & playing the victim. She knows Exactly what she was doing & saying during that interview as well as Denzel did. She was just shocked he called her on it (in so many words)....

Fox411 It happened in 2004, who cares.....

Fox411 Chucky lookin ahhhh

Fox411 So when is Denzel going to jail? You can't do that to Karen and get away with it.

Fox411 She is the WORST...could care less what she has to say. ZERO respect for that so called journalist! Love DW even more!

Fox411 Dear God Katie, you telling this story like you really were injured. Sixteen years later and that ego is still bruised. 😂🤣😂🤣

Fox411 Again.

Fox411 Oh god here we go again with this shit

Fox411 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Fox411 Stop with this I’ve seen it 3 times already and it makes no sense

Fox411 Her white girl status didn’t work with him, next!

Fox411 During this time in history this is the most benign story. Geez

Fox411 Imagine how Denzel felt!

Fox411 Just shut up Katie and go away . Your the cancelled one not Denzel

Fox411 Why is this “news” Don’t drag DenzelWashngton down in your rhetoric just to have your own name be relevant during this time. What purpose was that comment for, anyway?! Just....🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫

Fox411 Shaken? Lol. Weakling

Fox411 Whoa, Becky...slow it down

Fox411 Wait another 4 years lady.. maybe that shts like a coin n be worth sumn then. Fukn pathetic

Fox411 Didn’t I see this yesterday!?! Are you guys stuck in a loop?

Fox411

Fox411 There’s to much crap going on in the world why are you grudging up the past ffs

Fox411 Lol this clown said he gave money out of guilt!? No, he gave 💵 so you would remember...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I think I love Denzel.

Fox411

Fox411 Well he was making sure she respected him as a human being first I see nothing wrong with Denzels interjecting her question before she insulted him any further, Get somethicker skin in the Game Katie and watch how you speak to Black Men

Fox411 She’s dumb

Fox411 2004? Okay 👌

Fox411 Why are we talking about thisnow

Fox411 Can't believe Denzel

Fox411 2004? OK!! 🙄

Fox411 We needs to let them know, yet he can't be bought, but can pay you to stay out his business!

Fox411 Here we go!

Fox411 Lies!

Fox411 YOU will NOT come for Denzel because he corrected you. This is typical Karen behavior. Poke the lion then get scared when it roars. cancelkatie

Fox411

Fox411 Everybody getting a little spotlight except poor old Katie Couric so she trying to use Denzel's name in order to get a little of that light sat your a** down somewhere and stop trying to get a rise out of somebody...………….

Fox411 I think he was justified to bristle at the way she asked her question initially, and her attempts to rephrase were incredibly awkward. Couric, if you want to be viewed as a serious journalist, rather than just being “cute”, some self-reflection and awareness are necessary.

Fox411

Fox411

Fox411 I’m sure the fact that he is a conservative didn’t factor into her digging this (non) story up.

Fox411 Please

Fox411 No, this what we call checked yo a**, he was right.

Fox411

Fox411 Idk he did take her out of context almost purposefully

Fox411 So....an interview over 16 years ago is making news now and it's not very news worthy.

Fox411 Y’all bored 🙄

Fox411 Yeah she must be bored

Fox411 How is this news 16 yrs later 🙄

Fox411 U could tickle the dog in the back yard while standing on the front porch with the reach she used for this over a decade later. YesImSouthern 😂

Fox411

Fox411 DENZEL IS AN UNPROBLEMATIC KING LEAVE HIM ALONE

Fox411 Fuck Katie Couric.

Fox411 She’ll be playing basketball in pelican bay by the time this is over....

Fox411 Leave that man alone with your fake outrage at a stupid question you tried to trap him with

Fox411 Nahhh ...y’all not doing this again!

Fox411 Katie, please don't mess w a man that can play 1000 characters flawlessly while you can only interview in a red skirt

Fox411 Sooo uncomfortable that you get your shovel, walk to the grave & dig it up, clean it up, prop it up & speak on it.........yeah ok. Bye!

Fox411 “I felt uncomfortable” - Katie Couric. “HOW DATE YOU USE THE METOO MOVEMENT TO THROW HATE AT AN ICONIC BLACK MALE FIGURE. STOP VICTIMIZING YOURSELF KAREN “ - the world.

Fox411 IT WAS 16 YEARS AGO! STFU!

Fox411 She obviously did say something wrong if she knew he was uncomfortable with the question why would she keep going back to it. Likely because she got the reaction she wanted makes good t.v.. She's mad because he gave her the truth.

Fox411 Boo 🤬 hoo

Fox411 Insinuating he isn’t smart and is an actor and shouldn’t mix himself in politics or real life issues would be offensive to many, hence the reaction. curic

Fox411 🙄

Fox411 Everyone has bad days.

Fox411 The scariest words in this article are “famed journalist Katie Couric”.

Fox411 Ok Karen

Fox411

Fox411

Fox411 Suuuure. I believe her 🤦🏼‍♀️

Fox411 I don’t think he did anything wrong

Fox411 Yea fuck you

Fox411

Fox411 katiecouric tried to group him into something he’s not. He explained things clearly and I don’t feel he did anything wrong. She’s was trying to label him and he wasn’t having it. I don’t blame him. She does come off like she’s BarbaraJWalters when she’s not!

Fox411 She is leaving meuncomfortable and shaken by talking about something from 2004

Fox411

Fox411 Good! If only Matt Lauer's actions had left her 'shaken', & 'uncomfortable', maybe she would have put a stop to it, instead of leaving it up to Apple to make a TV Show about her failure to step up, & protect future victims.🤔

Fox411 Doesn’t anyone else find what she said offensive as fuck? That’s crazy.

Fox411 Doesnt sound like she learned her lesson.

Fox411 Cancel culture coming for Denzel Washington? Hell to the no!!

Fox411 Why is this a headline 15 years later? Who gives a shit.

Fox411 Wow TMZ, just make up a story at this point, ppl are being paid to write this?

Fox411 Omg? We cancelling Denzel now Woooooow

Fox411 Chill Karen

Fox411 okay karen... he checked you and now you're calling the police over him calling you out 16 years later...

Fox411 Who cares. She is was a reporter. Get a backbone.

Fox411 Why is everyone so fragile?!

Fox411

Fox411 Good! Maybe next time she'll use her words more carefully.

Fox411 Right and we should alway listen to Fox News? 🙄

Fox411 LOL ... shaken and uncomfortable by someone pushing back. Got it. I wonder if she would've felt the same if Denzel was of another color.

Fox411 katiecouric is a hack

Fox411 Why is this stupid 16 year old garbage a story?

Fox411 So 16 years later and a failed talk show- She now comes out feeling 'Uncomfortable' ? Get over yourself katiecouric I feel 'Uncomfortable' with this Article & not asking 'Why are you coming out now'? Stop the excuse of 'Oh he was rich, an Actor' Blah Blah. Facts or SitDown

Fox411

Fox411 NO! you will NOT try to cancel Denzel

Fox411

Fox411 2004 Lol man it’s really slow in HollyWeird

Fox411 One day women will stop trying to find a way to be a victim in every scenario
