One wrote: “Can’t get over how creepy and disturbing this clip of Jennifer Aniston on Letterman is.”
Another added: “These Letterman clips have been making the rounds online – and they are disturbing to say the least. How was this even acceptable baffles the mind and conscience.”

One Twitter user posted: “It baffles me too.This is not okay, never was okay and I hate how men have gotten away with it.”
Back in 2009, Nell Scovell, who was only the second female writer ever hired for Late Night with David Letterman, wrote a scathing Vanity Fair essay about Letterman, in which she said the show was a “hostile work environment” for women when she worked there. In 2019 she wrote a follow up, revealing that she had since a meeting with Letterman in which he apologised for his past actions and apologised for the lack of female writers on show.
He said: “I don’t know how it got sidetracked. It just did. It was sloppiness. Inertia. I see it differently now and if I were to start a show today, holy God, I’m certain there’d be mistakes, but not the mistakes that were just so gosh-dang obvious.”
We’d like to think that we’ll never see a stint like this again but we can imagine we will, at some point and in some capacity, on one platform or another. It was wrong in 1998 and it’s wrong now. If anything, the more we share this content, the harder it will be to forget it. And that’s exactly what we need.
