Anthony Anderson, aka everyone’s uncle who thinks he’s still got it, is currently in a full Thetan-level PR spin cycle after the Internet just rediscovered a 2003 interview where he tried to flirt-joke (??) with a 17-year-old Lindsay Lohan. π Yes babes, this happened back when MySpace was still a thing and Paris Hilton ruled the astral plane.
So hereβs the low-E-meter read: Anthony was guest-hosting The Sharon Osbourne Show (which sounds made-up but was terrifyingly real), and young Lindsay waltzed in, fresh out of a Disney Channel original movie and probably high on Capri Suns. Then BOOM β Anthony whips out a PILLOW with his face on it like heβs running a haunted Build-A-Bear Workshop.
He starts asking if sheβs dating anyone, and when Lindsay hits him with the βsir I am literally underageβ energy, he laughs and says some guys, βincluding himself,β like younger girls. π€π« Cue a laugh that sounds like he just told the punchline to a very cancelled sitcom, and an audience full of people trying to nervously phase out of their own bodies.
Now 22 years later, in the year of Our Galactic Overlord 2025, TikTok and Twitter have both reached full OT VIII rage mode. Like, even Xenu was like, βBroβ¦β
Anthonyβs team tried to spray the fire down with a basic PR extinguisher:
βIt was meant as comedy. He regrets it if it was in poor taste. He respects Lindsay. Please don’t sue us, we’re fragile.β π«
Which is basically like throwing a bottle of Evian at a volcano but okay!
Look, back in 2003, comedy was wild. People were out here thinking Dane Cook was a prophet. But Anthony was 33 then. Lindsay was 17. The math? Itβs mathing… poorly. Social media is now dragging him like a busted rollerblade down the Hollywood Walk of Shame.
TL;DR: Anthony Anderson is currently going Clear β not through auditing, but through getting absolutely exorcised by the Internet. Will he recover? Will Lindsay comment? Will Scientology intervene with a celebrity center-level emergency purification rundown?! Only time, and the next Twitter cycle, will tell.
