Dolly Shuts Down Patronising Interview In Style

Dolly Parton’s wit, grace, and patience always shines through. Walters is patronising at times, but Dolly stays so dignified the whole way through this interview. #dolly #dollyparton #barbarawalters

Do you know the history behind Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always Love You'? It sure has a lot to do with Dolly! Check it out:

- “I’m not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes, because I know I’m not dumb… and I’m not blonde either.”
- “It costs a lot of money to look this cheap”.
If she hadn’t been a singer, she’d have made a fine stand-up comedian. Love Dolly.

[EMBEEAY]

If Walter’s was trying to make her look bad, she only brought out how intelligent, respectable, and charismatic Dolly is.

[TheAndromeda]

I have so much respect for her. She made Barbara Walters look so tacky without wrinkling an eyebrow.

[jenniferw]

People had been calling Dolly trashy and dumb for years, yet, she, in reality, is the classiest one of them all.

[nadiarambles]

*"I'm very real where it counts, and that's inside."* What a queen. Tell 'em.

[RaccnRck]

“Are you a hillbilly?”
“If you had called me that, I would’ve kicked your shins.”
Ok Barbara, that’s your cue. To stop. Whatever this is

[audiokinec]

She handled this interview with a lot of class, maturity, and humbleness.

[mikehigbee]

Barbara treating Dolly like she has to justify her existence. Every question drips with elitist condescension. Dolly gave her a master class on how to behave with class and dignity.

[Barnabybright]

Barbara Walters is so patronising and doesn't listen to the people she's interviewing. She's actually quite crass in this. Dolly on the other hand is a masterclass of grace and authenticity.

[Bruh-cslc]

The way she talks with her accent and low tone it’s so peaceful

[alharron]

3:25 "The man gives me freedom."
"The why get married?"

What a damming indictment of Walter's perspective of marriage. No wonder she went through four separations while Dolly & Carl are still going strong six decades later.

[tula]

Her saying “blonde wig” and not “blonde hair” was petty and intentional to point out how “fake” Dolly was. 🙄

[sgtzsquad]

Dolly: "A lot of the people I know are not educated, but they are intelligent." Words of gold.

[annaatkins]

This is what slow to anger and abounding in love looks like. Not quickly offended, extending grace, being wise and honest but not allowing herself to be walked over. This is actual class.

[iampurebliss]

I love when she describes how secure she is in herself.

[nickcurran]

Dolly has never been a joke. She is a very talented singer and songwriter, and just a great all-around entertainer. I have never thought of Dolly as a joke.

[Iamlightning]

She’s turning everything into positivity and empowerment. Barbara is completely disarmed by this approach. Dolly is strong and secure. She’s always radiated that feminine power!

[jasonblack]

THIS is what turning the other cheek means. She isn't being passive, she is retaining a frame of decency and composure...and then watches as the other woman trying to bait her ends up being the one who looks like an ass.

[rosedempsey]

Her saying she can afford to diddle around with makeup and clothes because *she* is sure of herself is so “bless your heart”
