"Absolutely the worst": Chrissie Swan fires up on Sam Newman
Chrissie Swan has opened up on the most challenging celebrity she had to deal with during her career.
The radio personality revealed that her interview with former AFL footballer Sam Newman was one of the worst encounters she had on the local front.
“He was hands down the worst experience I’ve had in the media,” she said on her program The Chrissie Swan Show, on Monday afternoon.
Anchor Jack Charles recalled that the interview was so bad that Swan had to walk out of their Melbourne studio.
“I remember you walking out of the studio, out of the station, and I was like where’s Swanny gone?” he said and added that “We couldn’t even air the audio.”
Swan replied that it was the most "terrible" experience she has had in her entire career.
“It was absolutely the worst by far. By far. It was terrible. It was a terrible, terrible situation and so unusual in my career to feel so attacked. It was terrible. Terrible.”
Before revealing that her interview with Newman was the worst experience she ever had, Swan also shared her disappointment after meeting her idols British rock band Duran Duran a few years ago.
She said that it "was an excruciating interview. And two of the members were really rude to me. I just left there feeling like nothing.”
To which Charles responded with the old adage, “Never meet your idols."
Swan agreed, but also added that it wasn't always the case.
“It is true, isn’t it? Well, it can be true, because I have met other idols like Lily Tomlin and Gina Davis and Debbie Harry and Sarah Jessica Parker. And they were all wonderful, but Duran Duran, they really belittled me and I just felt like a big loser.”"
The 49-year-old radio personality, added that the British rock band knew that she was a massive fan, which made the interaction “even more unkind."
Despite sharing how horrible some of these celebrity interviews made her feel, Swan also offered a sympathetic ear.
“You know, harking back to what I said earlier, people are going through things and you just don’t know what."
