Anthony Anderson threatens to sue after his old creepy interview with underage Lindsay Lohan sparks backlash

Lindsay Lohan is promoting the long-awaited sequel to Freaky Friday — and somehow, that led to the resurfacing of a disturbing old clip of Anthony Anderson interviewing her when she was 17 years old and living with Raven-Symoné. In the clip, Anderson tells Lohan that some older men “like ’em young” and then adds, “I’m one of ’em.”

The Black-ish star has since released a statement offering a conditional apology — in case you didn’t find his “joke” funny and sprinkling in vague threats of litigation in case you want to speculate about his intentions. The statement, obtained by People in full, reads: “This interview was clearly intended as comedy. He regrets if the humor was in poor taste and maintains the utmost respect for Lindsay. Any implication to the contrary is both inaccurate and potentially defamatory.”
