It’s disrespect for us!
People have been calling Stevie J disrespectful, which is to be expected but in addition to that people have accused Leah of being unprofessional.
Many think she should have stopped the interview as soon as she realized he was in bed others accusing her of being too pleasant.
Leah responded to the criticism on her Instagram stories telling people with negative things to say that they should watch the entire interview.
She also made it clear that she was very professional and remained professional throughout the entire thing.

My last thought and I’m going to bed. It’s women’s history month and some are you are so hard pressed on making it my fault for what a 50 year old man with 6 kids did in an interview. I’m unprofessional and it’s my fault. Do you hear yourselves? pic.twitter.com/Jm3Ai4DoDu

This is a tough one! On one hand, Leah showed up to do her job and he was disrespectful. On the other hand, this might be someone’s first introduction to her brand.
Would you have shut the interview down? Watch the entire thing for yourself and comment below!
Update:
Leah addressed the backlash in a new video:
