  • Cruise calling psychiatry a "psuedo-science" while simultaneously being a Scientologist is just peak comedy.
  • @ryanodriscoll
    Liam Neeson spoke honestly about a feeling he had that he knew was wrong. He was honest and candid. It's not our thoughts and feelings that make us good or bad people, but the choices we make.
  • @itaomahony502
    Liam Neeson was simply being honest. Shows how people can evolve. It shows maturity and character.
  • @priedthirdeye
    The irony of Matt Lauer interviewing people destroying their careers is astounding lol.
  • I am actually of the opinion that the honesty Liam Neeson portrayed is what we need in the world we live in. he is human and he had a reaction of misplaced hatred to a traumati event. an emotional reaction on which he did not act. I find him brave for talking about it so openly
  • @BigSegsy
    I can't believe people would not like Liam Neeson for him realizing he was doing something wrong, coming to terms with it, admitting it and apologizing! WTF are people on man

    "20 Celebrities That Ruined Their Careers with One Interview" Narrator: It may not have ruined their career but hurt their popularity 🤦
  • @nuudelz3711
    All Liam did was admit he was socially conditioned by his surroundings and that he realized he was wrong when he finally broke that conditioning.
  • @ConradSpoke
    The attacks on Liam Neeson were idiotic and cruel, a deliberate misrepresentation of his honesty. His confession of youthful anger has probably saved at least one life.
  • @michaelyolch79
    "Except that your reality...doesn't match...reality." BAHAHA!!!
  • @kittenface8577
    Contracted cancer? That's a very weird way of putting it. You don't really "contract" cancer,it's not contagious.
  • @dhenderson1810
    Paramount and Steven Spielberg cut ties with Tom Cruise, until they realised how much money his movies bring in and they forgave him.
  • @ASG-nm4cz
    It's messed up to say the interviews by Prince Andrew and Lance Armstrong, among others, was what ruined their careers rather than their actions.
  • @H-mu4bo
    Prince Andrew was pure cringeworthy.
  • @map2k922
    AAwww my late brother in law was one of the salesmen MJ was with at that art gallery. He's since passed away and I was caught off guard randombly seeing him here on youtube. We miss him so much. May he rest in peace RIP Joey😢
  • @samw6344
    I mean if we can't allow people to grow and change then what are we as a society? This is in reference to Liam Neeson. We expect people to be perfect from birth until death if we are to like them, when we ourselves are not that way. It's easy to judge others instead of look at ourselves.
  • @ivybee347
    It's crazy how Billy Bush was the only one who was punished for that whole situation.
  • @the8wave
    I’ll tell you what I’ve learned from this. If you’ve ever done anything wrong, you better not tell anybody.
