Fans of Denzel Washington have taken to twitter to defend him after Katie Couric accused him of jumping all over her.
It has only been a matter of days since RnB star, R Kelly, was found guilty and is now looking at 10yrs to life in the cooler – now It looks like Denzel Washington is next on the chopping board. The actors’ fine reputation is getting plastered with mud over his not so comfortable encounter with Journalist, Katie Couric. This is according to the Journalist resurfaced comments from her last year’s appearance on Danny Pellegrino’s “Everything Iconic” podcast. During the interview she went from talking about her career to how the “Training Day” star left her “shaken” and “uncomfortable” after a 2004 interview she had with the actor. Then Denzel Washington and castmate Meryl Streep were promoting “The Manchurian Candidate” a film they both starred in.
Katie Couric recounted that Washington’s response to her question about his thoughts on Hollywood stars and politics, were anything but expected.
“I think he totally misconstrued a question i asked and kind of jumped all over me,” she said.
But fans of the actor are not getting any of it and immediately took to twitter to defend their idol, suggesting that it is just a case of targeting another strong black man and trying to kill his career.
