‘The View’: Liam Neeson Details 'Embarrassing' Interview

Liam Neeson opens up to ‘Rolling Stone’ about his ‘uncomfortable’ stop by ‘The View’ last week. The actor explains that when the conversation turned to Joy Behar’s long-standing crush on him, he found the whole thing to be ‘a bit embarrassing.’

If Liam Neeson had turned to one of the other ladies and said, "every time I watch you on the show, I get aroused, " he would be facing a sexual harassment outcry.

If you are a woman and say he is overreacting, and dismiss what Behar said about being aroused, you are OK with a male doing that to any woman out there. Do not get upset about the males looking at women in gyms because, they could be "getting aroused" and that is OK, since it is OK for Behar to do it.

If a group of men were making those the show would already be off the air

[Skyv]

his body language... crossed arms indicating he surely wanted that to stop already

*_"The Ability To Speak Does Not Make You Intelligent!"_* ~ Liam Neeson

[moonlitpearl]

He has the right to say, "That's enough, " and have them stop. Not everyone appreciates their advances

[cedricduyongco]

He crossed his arms meaning he felt uncomfortable and defensive. The View should be ashamed of themselves.

[Djems]

When a man crossed arm like that, it’s a sign of being uncomfortable

[Nuttzers]

Now imagine if this was a group of men telling a woman they get aroused every time they watch one of her movies.
The show would be cancelled and all of them would be blacklisted and labelled as "misogynistic predators that objectify women" by the media.

I’m happy to see Liam called them out on all that garbage interview. Very unprofessional and the focus should have been about him promoting his new film.

This whole show is CRINGE. Frankly, how is it still on the air. Liam is so professional and Joy acted like an idiot.

[amyabbott]

You can tell how uncomfortable he is. Poor guy!

[alansaltz]

if he was doing that with her he’d be cancelled for sure. he’s allowed to be sensitive as well

[chasehedges]

Liam Neeson is an awesome actor and an utter legend

[PedroOliveira-yfhz]

Flip the coin, flip the gender. The moral police, which is now claiming " it comes with the territory, " would be having a meltdown if it was an all-male show, in which the hosts kept telling the female how much one of them has a crush on her and showing it on tape.
Please, keep the double standard!

[edwardmcmanus]

Dam Liam you knew better. You have far too much talent, class, dignity, and integrity to be part of such a dump.

[gaila.]

This is . . . weird. The woman with curls needs to act like a professional and stop embarrassing her coworker. “I would like to have my ashes sprinkled over Liam Neeson.” Uh, what? Who says that . . . twice!? That is so disrespectful.

[dmtn]

How did The View's producers or the hosts think that this was a good idea? If it had been a woman sitting with five male hosts with them focused on one of the host's long-time crush on her, including a video montage of how that played out over the years there would be uproar. This is not just on Behar, the show's producers and the other hosts were in on this, Sunny Hostin introduced the video montage. This was so not OK.

[imagine]

It was all in good fun. But what made it a bit cringe is they lingered on the crush stuff for too long. Even I was like enough already.

[heypaul]

So every single one of his movies glorifies guns and then he praises them for talking about wanting to get rid of guns.

[ljke]

That is gross behavior from Joy. Nothing like public borderline sexual harassment.
