The View hosts blasted for not asking Hugh Grant about THAT awkward Ashley Graham interview

The hosts of The View didn’t ask today’s guest Hugh Grant a single question about his excruciating interview with Ashley Graham at the Oscars, and fans weren’t happy.

Grant, 62, who appeared on the show on Thursday, became one of the biggest stories at the Academy Awards after his awkward red carpet interview with Graham went viral.

Despite making so many headlines, the moment was left unaddressed during Thursday’s episode, where the hosts discussed her reunion with her Four Weddings and a Funeral co-star Andie MacDowell and her upcoming Dungeons and Dragons movie.

“It was great seeing you reunite with Andie MacDowell, your co-star from Four Weddings and a Funeral,” Whoopi commented.

She was then gifted a bottle of moisturizer, a nod to the joke she made during the Oscars about Andie’s flawless skin and ‘scrotum’ appearance.

Viewers expressed their dissatisfaction with the show for not raising a single question about his awkward exchange with Graham.

“Out of character, no one asked about the Oscars red carpet interview,” one person tweeted.

‘So I guess Hugh Grant went on #TheView with the agreement not to touch on what happened with him and Ashley Graham. Because not a word, let alone a sentence! another posted.

‘How not to address Ashley Graham’s interview with Hugh Grant? I guess she said that she didn’t want to discuss it, which unfortunately makes me feel like she’s as arrogant as I thought she could be. #TheView’ another tweeter commented.

“They never ask ANYONE the hard questions when something happens,” another person accused the show.

“Awful you didn’t mention Ashley Graham smh,” one person tweeted.

The awkward interview saw Grant shut Graham up and roll his eyes in a red carpet chat dubbed “the worst interview ever.”

Grant was not amused when she stepped out at the Oscars and was openly dismissive of the 34-year-old supermodel’s questions, keeping her answer short and making her disinterest known in a now-viral clip.

The Four Weddings and a Funeral star’s brusque behavior towards Graham led to the chat being dubbed “the worst interview ever”, with the drama unfolding as the bubbly Ashley exclaimed: “What was it like being on Glass Onion? How fun is it to film something like that?’

But he was met with an embarrassing response: “Well, I barely participated, I was in for about three seconds,” Hugh quipped.

‘It must have been fun though, you had fun right?’ Ashley said as she went through the one-sided chat.

‘Erm…almost,’ the actor replied while looking away.

Smiling and enduring the interview, the model asked: ‘What are you wearing?’ While Hugh offered an insightful: “My suit.”

On Monday, Ashley broke her silence about the interview with a dignified retort to the online furore.

“You know what, my mom told me to kill people nicely,” Graham said. TMZ when he got to LAX.

Viewers at home were quite embarrassed by the exchange, as they praised Ashley for how she handled the difficult situation and called the timing “the worst” since Will Smith’s infamous slap of Chris Rock at the 2022 ceremony.

“That made me want to hide under a pile of chairs,” one person wrote.

Another added: ‘Ashley Graham deserves an honorary Oscar for putting up with Hugh Grant. Don’t walk on the carpet if you don’t want to talk about the actual event.

A third fan wrote: “Is Hugh Grant trying to give the most awkward interview possible?”

Meanwhile, another social media user quipped: “I’m going to need that ABC interview with Hugh Grant cut out immediately.” That was art.
