Barbara Walters has spoken of her disappointment as Lindsay Lohan has pulled out of an appearance on her show “20/20” on ABC, which would have aired November 16.

Walters, 83, spoke about the cancellation on “The View” yesterday, announcing that "My interview with Lindsay is canceled. She has new PR people, a very well-known group that we do business with all the time."

Lindsay’s reps apparently said that she “doesn’t feel up to it.” However, Walters was hurt to discover that she has been booked to promote her upcoming Lifetime movie “Liz and Dick,” on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” instead.

"If they'd said to me 'You know, Barbara, she isn't up to the kinds of questions that you might ask' . . . I wouldn't feel quite as disappointed as I do today,” Walters lamented. She added that she “like[s] Lindsay Lohan very much” and that the interview "could have set a lot of things straight." Do you think Lindsay is just avoiding Barbara’s tough questions?

    People don't like to admit their mistakes. Barbara asked questions that make you do this.

    Barbara Walters pulls no punches. She's a very tough, direct interviewer.

    Maybe she doesn't feel like being interrogated by Baba Wawa.... I sure as hell wouldn't, although Linsay could interrogate me anytime.

    Maybe, but it's her right; last I knew the only places you were REQUIRED to answer questions at all were being questioned by the police or in court,

    There is no requirement to answer questions in the USA. In an unrelated but entertaining sidebar a court in Australia ruled last week that it is acceptable to tell a policeperson to 'f**k off'. The poor sad little tosser officer took someone to court for it and lost so they will probably require 8 weeks of stress leave on full pay to cope with the dangers of the job.

    Just like her mom's major catastrophic interview with Dr. Phil McGraw she knows that would be the nail in her coffin for good. She is nothing short of white trash and she has her parents to blame for the way she ended up.

    Barbara Walters is known for making her interviewees cry. I will never forget her making Patrick Swayze cry. I never watched her after that, it was despicable. As for LL, she needs to grow up and get in a real rehab and clean her life up.

    I saw that interview with Patrick Swayze. She hit him in a real tender spot! I thought she was a big (you know what) for hitting below the beltline, just to get the rating for her show!!!

    It was very calculated, and she knew what she was doing, I believe. After that, my whole opinion of her changed, and I never liked her.

    Lindsay look like a drunk old hag in the picture shown above. she was right to cancel, she was probably afraid that her nose would be the next thing to blow up from all those lies she was fixing to tell.

    The schtick for Walters' interviews with someone like Lohan can be nothing more than getting a scoop or embarrassing the interviewee - what's relevant in Ms Lohan's life for any of us?
  • Lovita Tordgaard 2012/11/14 23:50:28

    We all know LL has personal demons; been in rehab and that didn't work. What more does Barbra want to hear from LL???????

    Exactly. Ms Walters should stick to interviews with people who are relevant to our real-world lives, to those who have overcome adversity, or people who are making significant contributions to society.
  • Lovita Tordgaard 2012/11/16 01:57:14

    Ms. Walters should be talking to Veterans who have been injured and are struggling to get their lives back. THAT is worth listening to.
    Tammy Duckworth, a retired Black Hawke pilot who lost both legs, is now a representative in Illnois. Why doesn't Ms. Walters interview her?????

    You could email Walters' network or the broadcast she's on with the suggestion. It would sure be far more important than anything about Lohan.

    Ratings. It's all about ratings, but it wouldn't hurt to suggest it to Ms. Walters. I wonder if I will get a reply? I'll try it! Thanks for the suggestion!!!

    I don't think it matters, if I were Lohan I'd pass on Walters. Walters is more interested in sensationalism and Lohan needs no more than she creates herself.

    She should stay out of the limelight for awhile and give herself some time to grow up. Walters is very probing and Lindsay and her family need to stay quiet and grow up. And I mean her father too.

    Barbara Walters isn't a real journalist anymore. Lindsay probably is just too strung out to do an interview.
  • Lovita Cn2012 2012/11/15 00:01:46

    If Barbara could convince LL to try rehab for a full year (without escaping for the weekends), and work with a drug counselor/sponsor (?) for the rest of her life, then it might be worth it to have LL come on the show. But if it's "just for the ratings," forget the interview. Lindsey is a drug addict. Rehab won't help if she has her parents around her (don't they control her money?). Look what happened to Farah Fawcette's son: in prison for drugs while she was dying ; out of prison after she died, and now he's back in again, after inheriting all his mom's money. And when he comes out, AGAIN, he'll just go back to using drugs again. So much money and all wasted on drugs.

    You're right. Rehab would only work on someone who truly wants to change. I hope she does someday but you're also right about her parents. They are toxic. So sad.
