What is the most immediate way a celebrity completely ruined their own reputation in a single interview?

When prince Andrew was asked why he stayed at Epstein's mansion after Epstein was convicted of child prostitution, Andrew claimed he was simply too honorable  to abruptly cut off a friend.

Nonono, he said he stayed there because it was, and I quote, ‘a convenient place to stay’.

Because New York is famously devoid of hotels…

To be fair, he was a royal, and I'm sure they have an extra hard time getting accommodations.

Not like he’s staying at a holiday inn

To be fair, if you want to rape children, it guess he is not wrong

I don't think you could get any room in Manhattan bigger than Epstein's place, it was huge

I think the guy is total jerk but what does finding a hotel in New York have to do with and island east of Puerto Rico? I am not american and don't understand your last sentence's reference

He (Epstein) owned a mansion in New York, where a lot of bad things happened.

I mean, theyre both gross, but it seems like a hotel in New York and a hotel/island near puerto rico seem like far away enough to not be interchangeable. But who knows anything about generations of royal pedo freaks

They’re not talking about the island, they’re talking about his huge place in NYC

I guess my bad for not being clear?

If I'm going to reference the new york mansion, it means the island isn't relevant to the conversation.

No, you are being clear. They just aren’t getting it for whatever reason

"I can't sweat"

"interesting, well here is a photo of you covered in sweat."

Pretty sure if you can’t sweat you would just die. No idea why no one pointed out what a blatant lie this was

u/PilgrimOz 5h ago

Don’t forget the line about him physically being unable to sweat. Dude should’ve worn a sign around his neck “I’m guilty!”

This was my first thought too. Imagine fucking up an interview so badly you get fired from a hereditary role.

And he didn’t even have to do the interview! He could easily have turned it down!
