David Letterman gets more criticism for a 1998 interview with Jennifer Aniston in which he sucks on her hair … after his disturbing conversation with Lindsay Lohan in 2013 has resurfaced
In the wake of the recent bombing documentary Framing Britney Spears, several previous interviews are under new scrutiny to find out how women’s issues have been handled badly.
One such case came up in a 1998 conversation between Jennifer Aniston – then at the height of her fame thanks to Friends – and dawn host David Letterman.
The clip from the interview is on the rise on social media, since Letterman, now 73, randomly leaves behind his desk and spontaneously approaches Aniston and puts a lock of his hair in his mouth.

Then, approaching her and placing a hand on her shoulder, Letterman takes strands of the actress’s hair and puts them in her mouth, although at one point she screams and retreats.
The comics superstar, now 52, does her best in the video to appear unperturbed, but many Twitter users have noted that she looked a little strange.

Shortly after Britney Spears’ documentary aired on Hulu, a 2013 clip from the last show reappeared on social media, featuring Lindsay Lohan.
The former child star, often placed in the public eye when dealing with personal problems, including drug addiction and DUI’s over the years, was questioned by the late-night comedian.
The insistence, which began playfully, reached a point where Lohan started to cry.

These interactions came to attention recently after an interview with Spears in the early 2000s, conducted by Diane Sawyer, was featured on Framing Britney Spears earlier this month.
That conversation showed Sawyer hinting that Spears was to blame for his breakup with Justin Timberlake, and also asking the artist to respond to those who accused her of an overly sexualized image.
The end of the interview resulted in Britney breaking her head and interrupting her, which inspired many Twitter users to talk about how the superstar was mistreated at the time.
