The Truth About Eric Andre's Infamous Lauren Conrad Interview

Lauren Conrad clearly wasn't happy with the way things went down in her Eric Andre Show appearance, with Andre claiming in a 2015 Maxim interview, "Lauren Conrad was really upset and mad at me, and she kind of walked off set during the interview. After, I gave her a bottle of wine and was like, 'Oh, you know I'm just f**king around. It's all love.' And then she just stormed out." 

Per the same interview, Andre explained that Conrad's PR team weren't exactly pleased with the experience either. "Her publicist was so f**king pissed, screaming at us, 'You'll never work in this town again! I'm going to ban you guys, blah, blah, blah!'"

In a separate interview with The AV Club, Andre claimed that matters got even more heated after the fact. "Her agent tried to get us banned from clients. The publicist tried to get us banned from all their clients," he recalled. "They called us and said, 'You can't air this!' It was chaos. They were like, 'He drew a swastika on his face!' The publicist literally said this: 'He drew a swastika on his face, and my grandparents died in the Holocaust!' I'm black and Jewish. Hannibal's black. My two directors are both Jewish. We're not exactly the Aryan Nation. Pipe down."

Still, it seems Eric Andre harbors zero ill will toward the subject of his most infamous interview, going on to tell The AV Club, "I'm not doing it to be purposely mean to Lauren Conrad. I explained to her afterward, as she was running out of the studio, 'I'm just playing a psychopath talk-show host. It's all love, it's all in jest.'"

Jesting aside, one could hardly blame Conrad for bolting; even if her disastrous Eric Andre Show appearance did make for fascinating television.
